To paraphrase Ebenezer Scrooge:

"Well, if they're going to die without insurance, then they better do it and decrease the surface population"

The problem is you have this enlightenment, that your insurance provider is the/your doctor.

It is just there to help with a massive cost out of your pocket.
What was massive at one time, is now the deductible.

Their alternative is to get insurance BEFORE the serious disease.

Ok.

What a shock! Another prediction of obamacare down the drain.

This is what happens when we don't know what's in a monstrosity of this size.

Oops. Once again the administration caught playing games, trying to get the biggest number imaginable and politicizing the HHS.

Is the Department of HHS now reporting to White House political director Patrick Gaspard?
Why, of course it is.

Quote:
But pay close attention to how HHS came up with that 129 million figure:

Again, this is a bald-faced attempt to come up with a big number.
We can safely conclude anything coming out of the WH is nothing more than misleading propaganda.

BC/BS will insure anyone here in Michigan.

All states have an insurer that will.
