Obamacare news from the field

Aristus (32,048 posts)

Obamacare news from the field:


Had to leave work early today. I caught Mrs. Aristus's bug and it's doing its work.

BUT!...

Before I left at lunchtime, I saw 11 patients, four of whom had their new ACA policies in effect (Washington State's health insurance exchange, Apple Care). I was able to send out appropriate prescriptions to their pharmacies, instead of settling for whatever $4 medications might have helped, or scrounging around in our (ever-diminishing) stash of donated meds.

I referred three patients out for diagnostic imaging, whch they don't have to pay for out-of-pocket, or apply for financial aid for.

And I referred 2 patients out for specialty evaluation and treatment, all covered under their new policies.


If all continues to go well, I predict single-payer health in the US within 5-7 years...


Yes, again I call :diebouncy:

We won't need any other health care system if owebumacare continues to do as well as the libs are asserting.

Yeah right DUmmy



Apple Care belongs to the Apple corp. and has nothing to do with the ACA.  Neither does Washington's Apple Health.


And we’re changing the name of Medicaid. We’re calling it Apple Health.

By my understanding, the ACA and Medicaid are two different animals.

Eleven patients and 5 referrals, plus all the paperwork that has to be done for each patient's file and all before lunch.  It's like he can make time stand still.

I googled "Apple Care" and "AppleCare."  It is either one of two things.  It's health insurance for your Apple hardware and software.  The other is

which does not sound like Washington State's exchange name.  

And in fact if you google "Washington State's health exchange," you find:

ARISTUS YOU LYING SACK OF SHIT.  

Also this, from the Washington State Health Insurance Exchange website:

Underlining theirs.   :lmao:  Buncha losers.

So there are whole lot more people on medicaid. Again, just like the opponents of Obama Care said there would be.

2010: Obama care will cost the federal government $900 billion.
2011: Obama care will cost the federal government $1,500 billion.
2013: Obama care will cost the federal government $2,400 billion.
2014: Obama care will cost the federal government $3,800 billion.
2015: Obama care will cost the federal government $5,000 billion.

2009: Obama, "I will not sign a bill that add one dime to the deficit."
Liars gonna lie.

OK Dori, but that's Medicaid, not health insurance to be purchased and paid for.  Also, if Aristus is a doctor who's seeing 11 patients in the morning, shouldn't he know that?

Aristus is a doctor?  I figured he/she was like a receptionist or something in a doctors office.
