"All hell will break loose when employers dump their hospital plans," one panelist said Sunday as we learned more and more of the dangers Obamacare will do to our medical care. "If you like your health plan you can keep it," a vicious lie but worst things could await us.
"If you like your doctor, you can keep him," may be more hurtful than the increased cost under Obamacare.
It seems that many more people will be dumped into plans similar to medicare and medicaid. Doctors will be paid less, which will be almost certain to force some doctors to limit the number of patients in those plans. At present it is often difficult to find a doctor who will accept medicare. It happened to me several years ago. Now part of Obamacare is based on saving money by paying doctors less for medicare patients.
How tough it is going to be to pay double for your health plan and be unable to find a doctor who will accept it. We've seen nothing yet; wait until employers decide it's better to pay a fine than Obamacare.
