Doctors Grade ObamaCare : Doctors Say ObamaCare A Failure

ObamaCare was never intended to make health care cheaper or more available to the general public, if it was it wouldn't be this difficult to understand and it would work. That the fact there never has been more then 6 to 8% of the population that was in need of some kind of health care coverage was of no importance to the progressive democrats, and that now nearly the entire population of the country is suffering from some kind of health care insurance and quality of health care failure, brings the designers their desired results, chaos in the health care industry and the population.

In 2008, Mr Obama stated for all to hear, he intended to have a 'single payer' health care system in place by the time he left office, he knew it couldn't be done on a fast track, but given  enough time and chaos, the plan would work.

The plan has worked so far in that it secured the control of more then 1/6th of our economy and the control in the hands of the few in Washington. The only problem here is, for this all to work the majority would have to accept and like the control by Washington. But, as we see now, many in the general population have decided this will not work and not in our best interest, are fighting back.

If we want to make sure we actually survive this attack on our individual freedom, it will be necessary to repeal ObamaCare by electing people that who believe the 'people' are in change and the Constitution actually means something.

This November, we have that chance to begin the healing of our country.

Half of America's Doctors Give Obamacare a Grade of D or F

The Physicians Foundation recently asked 20,000 American doctors to grade Obamacare. The results were not good for the president's signature law; almost half of those surveyed gave the Affordable Care Act a grade of D or F, while just 25 percent said the law deserved an A or a B.

Why? Jeffrey Singer, a physician and adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute, says that the law has disrupted patients' relationships with their doctors. He explains:

• Many of his patients saw their insurance plans cancelled and were moved into new plans that did not include Singer in the network. Singer, a surgeon, notes that this forced some who were in the midst of a multi-stage surgery treatment to find new doctors to handle subsequent treatment.
• Some patients were moved into Medicaid and still had access to Singer as a doctor. However, he notes that because so many doctors refuse to take Medicaid patients, coordinating with the patients' other doctors (primarily specialists) was difficult; many were located far away.

Singer describes how the law -- aimed at increasing access to care -- actually made access more difficult. Singer practices medicine in Arizona, one of the states that expanded Medicaid. One study indicates that up to 80 percent of those new Medicaid enrollees were merely transferred from private plans into the government's Medicaid plan. Access to doctors under Medicaid is poor, which results in many enrollees going to emergency rooms for treatment.

Indeed, NCPA Senior Fellow John R. Graham recently blogged about Medicaid patients' trips to the ER because of this lack of access. Going to the emergency room rather than making a doctor's appointment, says Singer, means that many on Medicaid suffer health problems that go untreated.
