Dr. Gupta, during a conversation with a woman, found a problem...

Let's face it - Obama and the Democrats are just being too compulsive about this health plan problem...they will not admit they have created a "turkey".

The Republicans are right in demanding it be held up a year to sort out.

Obamacare's coverage gap: The poor caught in between - CNN.com

Read it and weep...But for crying out loud, admit a problem and stop trying to twist it around with the usual name calling.

Everyone...please contact the White House, Congress and Senate and send them this article...Let them know we are following what is going on, and are fed up with childish antics.

Default Time for Republican state governments to take care of their constituents.

From your cite:

Quote:
Let me try to explain: In a state that has chosen not to expand Medicaid, Yvonne is in the staggering position of now making too much money to qualify for Medicaid, and too little to obtain subsidies through the Affordable Care Act.
Yvonne is in North Carolina, a state whose Republican state government decided to turn down the Medicaid expansion - a program that would have been fully funded from the Feds until 2016 and at no less than 90% going forward.

She has nobody but her own state government to thank for this. The Federal government tried to reach out. Her state government decided they'd rather see her uninsured than be seen as supportive of the PPACA. Yay, States' Rights!

The contempt I feel for these state governments is hard to put in words.

Not sure how this works?

Rich Congress Critters and their cohorts (AKA: Aides) get subsidized health care.

If your Really poor .. Not so much!

I put 0's into all the fields (Which means .. I live in squaller).. and I was told to leave the page .. Forthwith!

(Well .. I'm exaggerating but .. I'm gonna go apply for my Obama Phone anyway!)

That's funny of Obama is now to blame for Republicans kicking people off of Medicaid and now need to fix it. I wonder which gubbermint plan the OP is on? Medicare, Tricare, or VA those are the favorites.

You can feel all of the contempt you need to ..

When this country was founded, it was a Republic, and the States ruled supreme.

It's not the central governments job to force anything on the states .. this is what got us into trouble in the first place .. and it's very likely that we wouldn't be in this whole insurance boon-doggle if the central government would have minded their place and left the states alone from the beginning.

There isn't a problem that exists in any of the states, that didn't first reside at the central government .. blow back can be a real beotch, but it is what it is ...

It's not the state's fault .. if you were to study up on your history, you might discover that most to nearly all of these problems were created and supported by, the central government ..

The "problem" is not addressing the fact that 48 million of your fellow 'Americans" do not have "health insurance" and have to stagger into Emergency rooms everyday!
I'm sure Dr. Gupta with his generous salary from CNN doesn't have too worry too much about his "healthcare".

Obamacare is doing well in states that are trying to make it work and not so well in states that are putting up roadblocks, I wonder why that is? Soon enough citizens of the states that are being shortchanged will start asking why other states are doing well when it comes to health care and their state is lacking in that area.

I see at least one of the "manically depressed compulsives" started with the name calling/slander already. How pathetic.

Folks - the healthcare law can be good for many people...But, what we now have is a half-baked crock of crap.

The right thing is to postpone it, to sort out what the hell we have in it.

At this point, Obamas legacy will be giving the next 2 elections to the Republicans.
