Is This the Future of Obamacare?
Posted: Aug 20, 2010
"As discussed here, four Massachusetts hospitals now must cope with having thousands of patient records discovered in a public dump. And these records contain vital private information such as SSNs, health details, phone numbers, etc. In other words, everything required to have one’s identity stolen. Also, highly private personal medical details which could be harmful if disclosed in the wrong context. Already, overseas transcription services have been the basis for medical records extortion plots. The exposure of the public to centralized medical programs is staggering.
Obamacare creates a centralized computer database of patient records and then allows researchers and medical professionals access to these records. This “all the eggs in one basket” approach may seem momentarily attractive but quickly sours on closer examination. How long before this database is hacked and the data is stolen? Or if the database is hacked and systematically modified? Imagine a modern remake of the movie WarGames: “Hmmm…lets change all of the diabetics to hypoglycemics and see what happens….” or “lets change all of the birth control prescriptions to ovulation inducing fertility drugs” — clickity click. “There. Its done. Now what do you want to do?”
History has shown that any information a government gathers about its populace, it uses against the populace. Do we really trust Obamacare?"
NOTE: I do not live in MA and have never heard of and have no interest in this congressional candidate. The author raises some good points.

Obamacare Meltdown Has Arrived. Tennessee Is Ground Zero For Obamacare'sOct 07, 2016
last month the state insurance commissioner, Julie Mix McPeak, approved premium increases of up to 62% in a bid to save the exchange set up under the Affordable Care Act. “I would characterize the exchange market in Tennessee as very near collapse,” she said. Then last week BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee announced it would leave three of the state’s largest exchange markets—Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville. “We have experienced losses approaching $500 million over the course of ...
Obamacare Is Failing From Behind... His Goals For ObamacareJul 20, 2016
1) Have it collapse so that single payer can be implemented amidst the ensuing chaos. 2) Have that happen on somebody else’s watch. Obamacare was designed to fail so the Democrats could “reform” it with complete government provided socialized medicine. That is the entire purpose for it. Obamacare is designed to collapse so they can backfill the vacuum with government run socialized medicine. Eventually, everyone will be on some form of Medicare. I believe that was one of Bernie’ ...

Future Of The GOP: Big Changes Are Inevitable, But All Agree ItNov 05, 2012
The GOP would have walked away with this election if it hadn't alienated Hispanic and other minority voters. Minorities are key to the future of the GOP. Birth rates of hispanics alone are above the national average, but per Pew Research, the GOP is 90% white. From the Associated Press, "...that's a problem for the GOP. Steep racial divisions this year that put overwhelming numbers of minority voters in President Barack Obama's camp mean the Republican Party must ...
A Heads-up For The GOP's Future Viability.Nov 17, 2012

An Unstoppable Progressive Future? Maybe NotSep 21, 2013
A new report tries to stifle Democrats' confidence that demographics guarantee the party's electoral success. But it's not totally persuasive. [Maybe not, but I've known a lot of minority conservatives over the years who are not comfortable with the Democratic party, even if they're forced to vote Democratic to protect themselves now, and I expect them to force change at some point. The only thing certain about the future is that it will be different and it wi ...

So this is what I have learned. After listening about the new health insurance, this is what I know. There are 3 levels of care/cost. They are trying to get the young people to join to keep the cost down for the older people. Well after listening to a question and answer discussion on line program coming out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota hospital systems, it scared me greatly. If all the young people join this program, it will not help the older people who live on a fixed inc ...

When discussing the ACA or Obamacare, whichever you call it, remember that it is literally like comparing apples and oranges (and grapes, pineapple and maybe even potatoes). Each state has different prices and different plans from the federal plan. Some states now have only one company offering a plan through their state exchange. Each plan has a different monthly cost, a different deductable and it goes on and on and on. The requirements are different from state to state ...

For those MTs on here cheering the repeal of Obamacare keep in mind that many of your fellow IC MTs are on Obamacare currently and with health issues. They were unable to secure insurance prior to the ACA and today are covered for their health issues at an affordable rate.
