White House Forces Obamacare Insurers To Cover Unpaid Patients At A Loss
- Thread starter Banjo
- Start date
Insurance companies will just raise the rates on others.
At what point will somebody stop that man from trampling the Constitution? The Republican Party is complicit for allowing it.
Vote Libertarian. Save our country.
Vote Libertarian. Save our country.
Incredible, isn't it?
Odumbo keeps trampling the Constitution, but the parasites don't care so long as their monthly check keeps coming.
"Traditional" Republicans reveal themselves to be "DemoCraps Lite" and decry the Constitutional Tea Party and Libertarians as "extreme and wacko".
We keep pursuing Socialism/Communism... yet all around us are examples of those types of failed states.
America has already declined to the "17th most economically free" country.
IOW... "Power corrupts". Our Founders left us in GREAT shape, but we're pissing it all away because of greed and lust for power!
I recently wanted to re-register in FL as a Libertarian, but was told I couldn't vote in the Republican primary. I'm asking WTF?!??!! This two party "system" is so far gone, we could lift the Titanic and take it on a cruise the next day, before this two party mess will ever be fixed, and work...
Obamacare Pushing Puerto Rico Further Into Social Welfare State, Doctors Warn
http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/mo...urther-into-social-welfare-state-doctors-say/
People in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico may not be grappling with the botched Obamacare website rollout, but the program could spell disaster for the island, which is facing a financial crisis and where half the population already is dependent on free health insurance, members of the island's medical community warned.
Puerto Ricans, who are born U.S. citizens, do not enroll on the healthcare.gov because their government decided not to offer health-insurance exchanges, which offers private plans.
Instead, the Affordable Care Act, commonly dubbed Obamacare, has mostly arrived on the island in the form of a $6.3 billion social welfare check allocated to the government to continue to pay for its Medicaid and for its separate, free state-run insurance program called "Mi Salud," between 2014 and 2019.
And that could be disastrous for Puerto Rico.
Roughly 1.7 million Puerto Ricans already depend on free health insurance in the island and local doctors are concerned that the additional financial infusion to the program will make the territory even more dependent on welfare.
Critics in the medical community said the move could prove to be a disaster, considering the U.S. territory is already deemed as the âNext Detroitâ and "America's Greece."
The island's government is over $70 billion in debt and about 45 percent of Puerto Ricans have incomes below the U.S. federal poverty line and nearly 40 percent of all households receive food stamps.
