Personal horror story — my week navigating the catastrophe called “Obamacare”

 

Every horror story you have heard on the news is TRUE — Obamacare is an aboslute disaster

 

Obama: “If you like your health care plan you can keep it, period!” Of course, we all know that was a lie. Yesterday Obama said he was sorry for making the mistake of this comment. I prefer to call it an intentional lie. That is what it was.

My wife lost her health care plan. The notice is shown below.

So, I got serious this week about finding her a replacement plan through the government’s exchange program. This turned out to be a week from hell.

First thing out of the blocks and I could not even access the Colorado exchange’s web site. See below:

After several days of trying I finally was able to access the site.  Cheech and Chong could have built a better web site.

Obama: If you like your doctor, you keep your doctor.” This was also not a mistake, but an intentionally lie. The type of lie that is characteristic of community activist bullies.

My wife would like to keep the local hospital we have used for 18 years, the family practice she has used for 18 years and several other physicians she has used for 18 years.

So I checked to see if “O_bomb_u_does_not_care” aka the “Unaffordable Care Act” had a plan offering these healthcare providers. The answer is found below.

No plans available

That’s right folks, under the Marxist god’s new healthcare plan, my wife cannot keep her hospital or physicians.

So, I thought to myself, this cannot be right. So I started making calls.

First, I called the Colorado exchange. After several hours of speaking to four people I was more confused than I was before I called them. It seems as though their telephone service center is staffed by refugees from McDonalds.

Next, I called the major health insurance providers in the state (such as Blue Cross) to further inquire. I asked them if they could tell me if their plans under Obamacare offered my wife’s specific healthcare providers. Blue Cross said it could not tell me and may not be able to tell me until January — or even until we file our first claim.

Next I called my wife’s hospital and physicians. Same thing. They said they are getting no information but acknowledged that they may or may not be included in plans they are presently part of. I saw on TV last night the head of the Texas Medical Association. He said that the physicians in Texas are in an utter panic because they are not sure what will happen to their referral networks — whether doctors they refer their patience to will be accepted by their patients’ plan or whether they will be on the plans of patients referred to them by other doctors. Physicians spend their careers developing referral networks. Now these networks may become a can or worms.

Obamacare would be this century’s biggest joke if the implications were not so serious.

By the way, I have priced out similar plans to the plan my wife has now — of course, not knowing if those plans even include her providers. The cheapest plan I can find is 25% more expensive than her current plan.

We are being asked to subscribe to a plan without even knowing if my wife can keep her physicians.

Our elected leaders in Washington, especially the Dems in the Senate led by “Comb-over” Reid, are pushing this countries healthcare over the cliff.

I believe they know full well that the system is broken. I believe they like the fact the new system is broken — it means that more government involvement and spending will be required to “fix” what is wrong.

Readers, be scared. Be very scared. If you are not impacted by Obamacare now, you will be.
