Another Obamacare Lie, Remeber When We Were Told That Obamacare Would Reduce Expensive ER Visits

 

The Affordable Care Act, Barack Obama’s signature piece of legislation has just been one lie after another …

Remember when President Barack Obama promised that Obamacare would reduce the number of expensive ER visits as access to other kinds of care was expanded? But of course this is the same signature piece of legislation where Obama promised that you could keep your own doctor, hospital and insurance plan if you liked them. Those were all lies as well. When the majority of people that are signing up for it are doing so as a form of medicaid, of course the ER is going to be used as a clinic. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure that one out. But of course Obama was going to lie through his teeth to the American people to get Obamacare passed, as Jonathan Gruber said, they had all considered the stupidity of the American voter to be key.

With the healthcare expansion last year, many are watching how the Affordable Care Act affects emergency room use.

President Obama has promised his signature health law will gradually reduce expensive ER visits as access to other kinds of care is expanded. Critics contend newly insured patients — especially those enrolled in Medi-Cal, the state’s low-income health program that picks up most patient costs — aren’t likely to seek care elsewhere, and will overwhelm emergency rooms.

Neither of those outcomes were clearly evident in the first months of the new healthcare system’s operation in Los Angeles County, according to a Los Angeles Times analysis.

Data hospitals report to the state show that as insurance coverage was extended to hundreds of thousands of residents, ER visits for ailments not serious enough to require an admission grew 3.9% in the county in the first half of 2014, compared with the same period the previous year. The growth is in line with annual increases of 3% to 5% in the three years prior to the federal healthcare overhaul.

Obamacare Lies:

  • If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.
  • “Affordable” Care. Obamacare Will Make Health Insurance More Affordable, even the president’s ideological cronies acknowledge that the Affordable Care Act is far from inexpensive for most Americans and that it “risks being a cruel joke.”
  • It will prevent people from going into debt.
  •  ObamaCare will lower costs overall.
  • Congress Meant for Subsidies to Flow Through State-based and Federal Exchanges
  • More Americans will be insured.
  • The Individual Mandate ‘Is Absolutely Not a Tax Increase’

      The only truth that Obama told was “We are going to fundamentally change America”. Everything else is a lie.

      What the liberals wanted to do is to finish the job begun by Woodrow Wilson in 1913 to change the United States into a socialist nation. Even in our founders time, socialist thinking existed including having a king or a dictator.
