Healthcare
More than three years ago, this website told you about the physician shortage that would be coming and we’re starting to see reaction from states as the problem becomes noticeable. California is suggesting regulation changes to expand responsibilities of nurses, physician assistants and other health care providers when it comes to patient care.
We have posted about this before, but, a caller to Jim’s show on Thursday, prompts another look.
Part of the Obamacare legislation was a requirement employers who provide/sponsor health coverage let employees know how much they are dishing out for your health care insurance. You might be surprised.
Luckily, Obamacare has now been passed so we can see what is in it. But, the picture just keeps getting worse.
It would be terrible to hear 45-year old deaf twins committed suicide by hanging or jumping to their death after learning they were both going blind, but to hear this euthanasia/suicide was state-approved and the twins were killed by doctors?
If find it pretty much unacceptable, but completely normal, for 18 Democrats to “all of a sudden” realize there is a medical device excise tax of “only” 2.3 percent in the Affordable Health Care Act. Of course, they found out about this “hidden” tax in December, after the election was over.
As we told you. When you start mandating coverage and benefits, the costs to provide care will increase. As such, health care insurance premiums go up. Remember, insurance companies in most cases must go to the state to request premium increases and they must prove why rates must increase. They states will soon be approving 20 percent-plus…
This would be funny were it not so pathetic.
How can anyone feel good about this? We’ve got a bunch of states stating they will not create exchanges simply because it will cost way too much money, which leaves the responsibility to President Obama’s Department of Health & Human Services to create and manage this boondoggle.
Our annual deficit has been running in excess of $1 trillion per year over the last 4 years. Our President has now demanded tax increases of $160 billion per year, from the “rich” to off set that deficit.
