Boulder is a Stoopid Place

Beam me up. Obamacare | Law Professor | Whites Blamed for Failure.

Of course may I just don’t get it as I was born in Florida, grew up in Tennesse and moved out to Colorado in 1979 and voted for Tim Wirth and Gary Hart.

You can’t make this stuff up.

Inquiring minds want to know why Thousands Scramble to Get Medical Procedures Before Obamacare Begins.

Fearing that the will be unable to use the doctors and hospitals they want with their new plans, doctors are reporting a massive uptick in the number of patients calling for preventative procedures or moving up their planned surgeries to prevent a disaster once Obamacare measures strike.

The paper explains that while supporters of the Affordable Care Act may argue that procedures will continue to be available, the plans severely curb access to certain doctors and hospitals, preventing patients from getting the level of care they are used to at their usual price. In particular, insurers now using the Obamacare system have begun to exclude major academic institutions from their coverage, as these compete with cheaper community hospitals ostensibly providing the same service.

People who have figured this out aren’t getting their news from progressive sources such as the Boulder Daily Camera, that’s for sure.

Hawaii’s health insurance exchange is no paradise – CBS News.

Following a year-end enrollment surge, the Connector system reported 2,015 people signed up for the plan in time to for coverage beginning January 1. Hawaii has received $203.4 million in federal funds to operate the Connector. So far, that works out to nearly $100,745 in federal grant money per enrollee.

From the comments…

I’ve been waiting almost three months for Hawaii to verify that I don’t qualify for medicaid BEFORE i’m even allowed to SEE what the cost of the subsidized plans available might be. How long does it take to look up my tax returns?

No insurance for me as of Jan 1, still waiting.

I’m not the only one – this story has been vastly under-reported in this pro-obama state.

Talking about vastly undereporting Obamacare problems, the local Denver Post and Boulder Daily Camera fall into that category. Talk about finding the silver lining, when it comes to Obamacare, these guys are experts.

Krauthammer: ObamaCare’s Survival Will Require ‘A Huge Bailout of the Insurers’.

A huge government bailout of the insurers is waiting at the end of next year. And that’s an issue that Republicans ought to focus on right now. It’s the only way that ObamaCare will survive and it ought to be stopped before it happens. It ought to be — Congress ought to say no bailout, particularly because this isn’t a natural disaster, it’s a man-made disaster.”

A slow motion man-made disaster happening right in front of our eyes. Of course, it’s one thing to have a pair of working eyes, it’s another to actually “see”.

DEADLINE TOMORROW: Obamacare Enrollments Lag Millions Behind.

With less than 24 hours to go until the critical Obamacare enrollment deadline, all eyes are on the Obama administration to see whether Democratic claims of a massive “Obamacare sign-up surge” will materialize.

I haven’t heard any such claims, could be because I can’t stand to listen to them talk! The key questions are:

Will the Obama administration have 3,500,000 million people in Obamacare by tomorrow’s deadline? Moreover, will 1,166,666 of those people belong to the critical “young invincibles” demographic?

The answer given by Wynton Hall (journalist)…

Probably not.

Of course, this melodrama will continue to plan out, rule changes and all..

Obama officials claim that the real enrollment surge is likely to occur before the March 31 deadline when the individual mandate’s financial fines and penalties kick in. However, last week the Obama administration announced it will offer “hardship exemptions” for some of the millions of Americans who have lost their health insurance due to Obamacare, thus prompting debate over whether additional exemptions and delays may be forthcoming.

Bottom line: if by tomorrow the administration has not enrolled 3,500,000 people — with at least one third of those being 18-34-year-olds — Obama will find himself scrambling to hit 7,000,000 paying Obamacare customers by the end of March.

And my prediction:  Ain’t gonna happen. No way, no how. No matter how many rule changes, made without appropriate authority, they invent.

Trust me, I’m a doctor and a patient, and I’m not for sale-even though Obamacare says I am! | krisheldmd.

Obamacare empowers a few political elites, their operatives, and cronies to do whatever they want to the American people on the false promise of access to free, quality medical care, AKA tyranny-through-medicine. They write and rewrite the deceitfully-passed law for political expediency, power, and money; patients are an afterthought, an annoying impediment to their ultimate goal- socialized medicine, the keystone in the arch of Socialism. These Alinsky-inspired, Cloward-Piven trained, Marxist-admiring operatives will do anything to undermine the US Constitution and fundamentally transform the United States of America. These crooks will do anything to achieve their ends. They will lie, cheat, and steal. We cannot trust them. They think we are the problem and that there are too many of us.

We, the patients and doctors, are being scammed, used. I trusted my government until 2009; I was naïve. I do not trust my government now. Our current Federal government is the antithesis of all that composes American medicine and the sacred patient-doctor relationship.

Accordingly, I have fought Obamacare and will not comply with parts of it that I regard as unethical, unconstitutional, illegal, and ungodly. January 1, 2014, Obamacare plans will begin. I will not participate- on principle. I will care for my patients directly, free of government constraints, in accordance with the patient-doctor relationship and the Hippocratic Oath.

I’d sure like to find a doctor like this in the Boulder/Longmont or even Denver area. Although I would prefer to use my grandfathered insurance plan, I am open to paying cash. My other requirement is paper medical records. Any takers out there?
