Obamacare Set To Drive New Wave Of Hospital Bankruptcies

that is why they should have either gone single payer or had republicans participate in improving the program.
Jem, do you remember McConnell saying the Republicans number one job was to see that Obama was a one-term President. Does that sound like cooperation to you? They intentionally set out to wreck every Obama initiative they possibly could. Does that sound like cooperation? If someone announced that their number own goal was to see that you did not succeed, would you then seek out that persons advice? I hope not. But Obama, God bless him, sought out Republican advice anyway, and got the cold shoulder. Obama went so far as to sign on to the plan advocated by a conservative think tank and modeled after one in his Republican rivals State! What more could he have done?
 
you sound like you are Grubering us.
But, even if you are right to some extent 10% to state budget could be a billion for billions. As I said, Obama and the dems should have worked with others to make a program that worked.

for instance
Obama had to illegal creating funding to insurance companies by executive order to keep in rolling. We are a nation of laws. that should not happen.

if the 10 percent were a billion dolllars to cover my friends .... I could not accept your deal. it it were 50 bucks I might if that were really all there was to the deal. but I would know better.




I don't want to unnecessarily belabor this point. But Obamacare did not pour any costs on the States. Those Red State governors lied. Their constituents paid via their federal taxes for expansion of medicaid. There was virtually no impact on State budgets. Even after dropping to 90% Federal Subsidy, most economic studies have concluded the additional State taxes raised from Medicaid providers would cover the States eventual 10% share. Let's suppose that the economic projections do not pan out. If I offer to pay 90% of your medical bills if you'll agree to pay 10% would you take the offer?

as if the republicans were not helping obama pass his agenda.
they are still doing so today as they shut down trump.
you act like we can trust the words establishment politicians utter.
Deeds not words.

don't even get me started on how Ryan gave Obama and the dems everything as he gave back the sequester.

That's true! I'll support you on what is true, but i'll also call you on your paranoia and ease with which you buy into conspiracies.
 
Interesting article on going to Mexico and getting care at a private hospital. Big savings.

$2,830 Appendectomy in Mexico

"Below are the itemized costs for an appendectomy in Mexico with complications. It is higher because of the emergency attention on a Sunday. The hospital stay was for 48 hours in a private room where my wife was allowed to spend the nights with my son sleeping on a couch in his room. This cost would have been significantly less if we hadn’t incurred emergency fees and if the appendectomy had not involved complications which required a longer stay and more medication. Despite all that, I though the total price of $2,830 dollars was very reasonable."

It might really pay to live near the border like you in the near future.
You could get the whole operation done cheaper than the deductible will be up here.

Or he could go to Canada. They hold costs down there by having people sleep on the floor.
 
Just like schools. Anytime there's gov't cash to tap into...
