WOW! And this from his beloved NBC. - NPC

No comment necessary. This says it all way better than I could.

So, this report is credible because it's what ACA doomsayers - want to hear?

He mentioned going to inferior hospitals? What would be an example of an inferior hospital? Sounds like a scare tactic buzz word invented by the right wing to me.

You're asking me for an example of an inferior hospital? - NPC

I didn't write the article. How about asking your friends over at NBC?

I didn't write the article either, but try asking (sm) - LM

a mom whose child is being treated for cancer at Sloan Kettering if she thinks the little hospital down the highway is just as good. Go ahead. Ask her.

Good point, LM. - NPC

I remember hearing about those children whose parents lost their insurance right before obamacare took effect in October and Harry Reid didn't give a rip about them.

..........and he still doesn't. - nm

The hospital down the highway may not have the facilities to treat - cancer patients

[ In Reply To ..]
Therefore, the child would be referred to and accepted at Sloan Kettering. That's how it works. The ACA will not change that. These are pure scare tactics. Shameful.

That is NOT TRUE. That facility down the street (sm) - LM

[ In Reply To ..]
may very well HAVE the facilities to treat cancer, but the question remains. If your child is being treated for cancer at S/K, do you want to be FORCED to take him to the hospital down the street?

Hmmm... guess Dr. Grace is familiar with inferior - care

[ In Reply To ..]
In the link below he is rated as below the national average in patient satisfaction. All the oncologist on the right side of the page have 4-1/2 or 5 stars.

In this link, patient comment is:
"dr grace forgot to give me oral prednisone as part of my RCHOP chemotherapy. when the mistake was discovered a week later, he dosed me with 2 1/2 times the normal dose at a point in my cycle when I was neutrapenic. Once I had developed an obvious infection in my right shoulder, he took blood ciltures and sent me home rather than the ER. I was admitted to the hospital by my.primary care the next day. I had sepsis, was unconscious for 10 days while they operated twice on my shoulder. I was put on patient controlled anesthesia with a basal rate of 0, when I couldnt know to push the button. I almost died, and then had to crawl out of the grave and continue my chemo from a completely debilitated point with another oncologist, who was excellent. dr Grace's office still billed me despite numerous misteps while I was hospitaluzed, including boarding me with a patient who had MRSA and giving me no bowel plan which led to an anal fissure. He is the last doctor I would ever recommend.
Insurance: Medicare"

The rest of the comments on the page rate him excellent, but they all have private insurance except one who has Medicaid/Medi-Cal.

I don't think much of people who do an inferior job because they are paid less. It says a lot about their character.

And regarding his prognostication in this article from CNBC, it is just that. Get back to me when there's a real story that has some facts and truth.

That's right. Find fault with the doctor not obamacare. - Pathetic to say the least.

His faithful "followers" will do just that-- follow him to the death. You're just wasting your time and energy trying to convince them otherwise. They don't WANT to see the truth.

They might want to think about changing the name of Obamacare's "Cadillac Tax" to a "Ferrari Tax." A new report that details the effects of a looming Obamacare excise tax on employer-sponsored health plans highlights the big bucks large companies will have to dole out starting in 2018 and how employees might end up getting stuck with much of the costs if bosses blanch at the tax bill. The American Health Policy Institute analysis found that big companies subject to ...

More fallout from the deceit of the Obama Administration. Nancy was right. We'll have to pass it to find out what's in it. She forgot to add that we'll have to pass it to find out more ABOUT it. Per link: Of all the taxes in ObamaCare, none is more onerous than the whopping 40 percent Cadillac tax on the more generous employer-provided health care plans, which often are union plans. The now-famous former outside adviser on ObamaCare, Jonathan Gruber of MIT, spoke about the Cadi ...

One of the things I'm not crazy about in this interim period before costs are brought more in line is Obamacare's throwing more responsibility on us for shopping for prices. People who belong to unions will not get a break on this--i.e., they won't still be able to just go to any hospital or doctor, no matter how overpriced, and have it all covered by insurance that costs no more than that most people have. Right now, people are going to their $600/hour cardiac or other sp ...

The ROGUE GOP can be best explained by this: Just IMAGINE what happens if O'care is not a disaster, and is even a mild success. and Obama is RIGHT to stand his ground - let it be (part of) his legacy, fail or succeed.
