Advice from the best informed person on Obamacare: Private Insurance But Government Control

Betsy McCaughey is arguably the best overall informed person regarding the ins and outs of Obamacare, hospital care, medical insurance, and the relationship to the bureaucracies. She exposed Hillarycare and it was not legislated. She also read all of Obamacare and exposed it. Unfortunately for all of us, it was barely passed though procedural trickery. Now we have to endure it until we can exercise democracy and vote it out. I'm not holding my breath, but maybe I should. m/r

The American Spectator : Private Insurance But Government Control

By  on 3.4.13 @ 6:09AM
What everyone needs to know. 
If you think the Obama health law won’t affect you because you have private insurance, keep reading. The Department of Health and Human Services announced final rules for private insurance last month. The federal government will have control over your care. Sec. 1311 of the law empowers the Secretary of Health and Human Services to dictate how doctors treat privately insured patients and what questions patients must be asked. Your doctor will enter your information into an electronic data base, your doctor’s decisions will be monitored for compliance with federal guidelines, and your doctor may have to choose between what is best for you and avoiding a government penalty.
1. Ask your doctor about keeping two sets of books, if you tell your doctor things you wouldn’t confide to anyone. Otherwise your electronic record will include everything and be seen by thousands of eyes. Have depression, erectile dysfunction, or a drinking problem? Your chiropractor will see it. So will thousands of nonphysicians. President Obama’s January 16 Executive Actions to curb gun violence deemed healthcare privacy protections “unnecessary legal barriers,” making it clear federal agencies will use health information for non-health purposes, such as background checks.
2. Line up your doctors now, if you’re a baby boomer. If you wait until you turn 65 and go on Medicare, you won’t find a doctor willing to treat you. Doctors will be paid less to care for seniors than any other patients.
3. Insist on a specialist, if you have a heart problem. ...
4. Brace yourself for less care at the hospital. ...
5. Ask your employer whether your on-the-job coverage is going to be dropped. ...
6. Avoid Medicaid. If you lose on the job coverage, you’ll either be directed to an insurance exchange or dumped into Medicaid ...
7. Don’t be bamboozled by fancy marketing. ...
