Obamacare: Texas doctors to pull out of Medicaid
Under Barack Obama’s healthcare reform law Medicaid was expanded to include more people while the Medicaid funding was cut. Medicaid is the government program that was designed to help low income people receive healthcare services that they would otherwise be unable to afford.
Expanding Medicaid was part of Barack Obama plan to help insure more lower income families, but the regime never elaborated on how they were going to expand Medicaid coverage to more people while at the same time cutting Medicaid funding. There is a simple reason why they didn’t explain this; because it is impossible to both expand Medicaid to more people while cutting the funding.
With the government reimbursing doctors less for the same fees while at the same time adding more people to the system, the backlash was easy to see coming. Doctors were going to begin opting out and not accepting Medicaid patients, meaning that the exact opposite to the stated goal of healthcare reform was actually going to take place, less lower income people would be covered under this new healthcare system than before.
We are seeing the first example of this taking place in Texas, where doctors are threatening to drop Medicaid patients because they will no longer be able to afford them. These doctors may be the first, but they will not be the last.
This result was easy enough for even someone like myself– a radical, right wing extremist and potential domestic terrorist– to see coming; surely the Obama regime saw this coming as well. We have to believe that this is the desired result because it is just too hard to believe that the Obama regime didn’t see this coming.

That’s what you get when you have idiots making policy and passing laws. You might as well have a monkey running this country, he would do as good a job as Obama and all the other idiots in Congress now.
We’re in a sad state here….unfortunately this world isn’t big enough for me to find a place to move to and not be affected by this insanity.
If you find a remote island somewhere….let me know.

Oh yeah….my own cave…lol…I REALLY need that (the kind with the escape route from the crazed government employees who are trying to find me to squeeze the last bit of money I have out of me….). I’m serious…they will go to the corners of the globe to get my…oh sorry, “their” money.

This has always been an issue – the current healthcare safety net. Already, thousands of doctors nationwide don’t accept Medicaid patients, yet if the government paid full freight for them, it’d be bankrupt within a year or so. Seriously – Medicaid undercuts most insurance plans in terms of payment, and most insurance plans negotiate huge cuts from doctors’ published fees.
Sorry to hear that more doctors are thinking about pulling out. this is almost like musical chairs in a tragic way – resources insufficient to meet the need.

Yup, I know how this is going to sound, but this does look like they knew exactly what was coming— planned it that way. Sounds like eugenics.

There is no doubt in my mind that this was a result that the Obama regime wanted because it will help to lead to single payer healthcare.
