Insurers To Limit Access To Doctors

We have been warning you since LONG before ObamaCare became law that it wouldn't cut costs and increase quality of care. So let's look at the latest natural outgrowth of ObamaCare... you can't use your doctor anymore.

As the Obama administration begins to enact the new national health care law, the country’s biggest insurers are promoting affordable plans with reduced premiums that require participants to use a narrower selection of doctors or hospitals.

The plans, being tested in places like San Diego, New York and Chicago, are likely to appeal especially to small businesses that already provide insurance to their employees, but are concerned about the ever-spiraling cost of coverage.

But large employers, as well, are starting to show some interest, and insurers and consultants expect that, over time, businesses of all sizes will gravitate toward these plans in an effort to cut costs.

In other words, forget PresBo's promise that his "reform" wouldn't give us LESS choice, it would give us MORE choice.


So far, we're seeing health insurance rates rising, revised estimates showing it will increase the deficit, estimates that far more employers than originally thought would cease offering insurance to employees... and NOW we find that we may not be able to keep our doctors!

For those of you surprised by this... WHY are you surprised? Since when did massive government regulations make things cheaper, more available, and better all at the same time?

I guess the part of ObamaCare that overachieves the most is that it fails on ALL THREE of those!
