*The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act — a legislation championed by President Barack Obama — mandates that a minimum set of health insurance benefits be extended to all Americans, regardless of any preexisting conditions, forcing insurers to cover even the sickest applicants. Because of these new requirements, insurers are expecting costs to skyrocket, and as a result, many are preparing to raise premiums to cover these increased expenses.

It was explained to me by my good friend/family doctor, as to WHY I was turned down 2 years ago for an MRI on my torn MCL. He said ever since Obama care talk, many such requests for test of all kinds have been suddenly turned down, in PREPARATION for "all" they will HAVE to cover when forced to.

SO,,,what CARE did I receive even BEFORE Obama care got off any ground at all? LESS than before it, which because I can't afford the suddenly NON covered tests, I do everything with MCL pain and constant threat of it tearing more with just mowing the lawn if my knee twists a little bit to worsen the initial imjury.

Thanks "caring" president, for NOT thinking it all through! Dammit! Now I have scar tissue from it not being able to heal right, which IF everything becomes coverable,,,they won't be able to repair it anywhere near to how they could have two years ago, IF ONE STINKING MRI could have been covered to SHOW exactly what the docs needed to do!

Didn't any BUSINESS adviser tell him the obvious preemptive actions that would be done, by just the idea of business people HAVING to pay OUT more than they have been? WHO did he think would EAT those future expenses? The Businesses? Ha! NO,,,THE PEOPLE even before any plan is put into act!

I am JUST one almost benign case. Imagine others who ARE insured too, BUT who NEED their tests THEN and NOW, to just get them back on their feet to be able to TRY to take care of their family!

Anyone who thinks everyone will be taken care of with any US healthcare would also think every person would be able to eat three meals a day if the food stores were also forced to give away food in huge lines for a set price. Starving goes on BIG in the US. Why not a US Foodcare plan too? In a perfect work with ALL NON-money thinking people involved? Sure, it could ALL work beautifully! Less issues!

Whatever gets the votes from the ones who are in REAL need and think their man has the answer; That's what we'll all deal with, NOW, and in the future. I still do physical work for my family, (to save them money), but at a risk of not being to do that at all if I twist my knee just a little bit again. If I was a pro baseball player, I would have had all the MRI's needed! FIXED in two days! Healed in two months! Ya gotta be making money for others in a big way in order to get the care needed right away.

Damn me for hitting the head coach during batting practice with the Phillies sponsored team! LOL

BUT symbolism and slogans seems to be the thing these days.
