**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.

I was denied an MRI for a shoulder injury I had 11 years ago, was that because of Obama? I was also only approved for 12 sessions of physical therapy even though I wasn't even close to fully rehabbed by session number 12..was that because of Obama?

There have always been limitations imposed by healthcare providers and it has absolutely nothing to do with Obamacare, it has everything to do with quarterly P/L statements.
