[Histonet] 88305TC starting to hit the fan...

Tue Nov 20 08:48:42 CST 2012

There are caps on what folks must pay, folks... please read the law. There are many good things about the new law.

Also realize that all of the changes we're facing are not part of Obamacare. The Grandfather clause has been ending for years. Congress finally let it this year.

Something had to change and change is hard. Let's work together with our Congress to adjust what needs to be adjusted as needed. Maybe they will begin to work together if we demand it.

Happy Thanksgiving - we still have much to be thankful for!!

The law provides economic assistance to those with low income who cannot afford insurance.
It would be nice if we all read the law instead of paying attention to those who try to scare people.

Tell that to all those who have pre-existing medical conditions that can now buy health insurance.

Hmmm...I think more people should have paid attention to Obamacare two years ago when it was being shoved down eveyones throat. Oh well.. as old saying goes..."You ain't seen nottin' yet"! I'm just amazed that there are so many in the profession who are surprised about the changes beginning to take place, there are many, many more to come in 2013 & 14 and all of them affect your job or lack thereof. :)

Everyone had the opportunity to change things on November 6th - they chose not to. So, you live with it.

Yours,
David

While this stinks on many levels, I have to take issue with the "shift wealth from specialists to family practice" - family practice docs have been the frontline of medicine, all the while earning less than a quarter of what specialists earn. It's about time they get a boost.
Too many specialists earn over a million a year, while the family practice guys/ladies can barely pay their student loans.
