Ahh good, Fox News.com lead story is how that now hospitals can send you away because of Obamacare

Posted by Jovian (aka Jovian) Dec 9 '13, 14:29

I wonder how accurate on a scale of 100 that is

Responses:

Be careful. According to MSNBC, using the o-word is akin to the n-word. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 14:50 21
- maybe, just maybe, if the right wasnt so disrespectful of the president since Day 1, the left would not be so touchy about it. - Jovian Dec 9, 14:53 20
  - You remember George Bush, right? -- nm - Ender Dec 9, 14:55 19
    - I do remember the worst president of my lifetime, yes. -- nm - David Dec 9, 15:01 4
      - No way he approaches Carter status. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 15:04 3
        
        Please. Carter is FDR compared to Bush. - David Dec 9, 15:06 1
        
        intentionally wrong country... - Mel Profit Dec 9, 15:08
        
        He's already there. Carter didn't get thousands of Americans killed in an ill-conceived war. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 15:06
    - you cannot possible compare his treatment from the left to Obama's treatment from the right. - Jovian Dec 9, 14:56 12
      - Huh, you really don't remember all the crap he took from the left. -- nm - Ender Dec 9, 14:59 10
        
        Respectfully, this is a non-starter as an argument. Despite almost bankrupting a country and starting a war with the WRONG nation... - David Dec 9, 15:02 8
        
        I think Bush did get a lot of criticism from the left, but it's your last point that is the major difference. -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 15:04 1
        
        Did you read that memo about his time in the National Guard??? -- nm - Dan Rather Dec 9, 15:18
        
        Yeah, because nobody invented phantom stuff like him knowing about 9/11 beforehand... -- nm - Ender Dec 9, 15:04 5
        
        Really? I'm not saying that there wasn't a crazy person out there making that argument, but that's wholly different from say major portions of the - pmb Dec 9, 15:07
        
        Don't forget that his environmental policies caused Hurricane Katrina. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 9, 15:06 2
        
        Really? I thought he just blew up the levees and purposefully left the inner city people to die. -- nm - Ender Dec 9, 15:07 1
        
        After 6 days, he got right on it. - David Dec 9, 15:11
        
        Did substantial amounts of people actually believe that? Not 10% but 40%? - Will Hunting Dec 9, 15:05
        
        I remember! It really annoyed the crap out of me, but - Jovian Dec 9, 15:02
      - Well, he *is* Black. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 9, 14:58
    - he was that funny little puppet, right? -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 14:55
My right wing brother in law (who is a doctor) keeps telling people that Obamacare has caused him to lose 900 patients. I have no idea how that is - pmb Dec 9, 14:47 15
- Exactly. The ACA should drive *more* people to doctors, not take them away. More business, not less. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 9, 14:54 5
  - my doctor has told me several times that Obamacare is terrible, and that - groiny Dec 9, 14:56 4
    - I don't think there's much question that they're getting jammed on fees and costs more than in the past. Part of that is the expectation that there - pmb Dec 9, 15:03
    - Damn poor people wanting to live longer! *SO* inconsiderate! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 9, 14:57 2
      - to be fair, my doctor goes several times a year and gives free healthcare to indian tribes. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 14:58 1
        
        Now that they have health care, he can go on vacation instead. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 9, 15:04
- Doctors have 900 patients to begin with? -- nm - Ender Dec 9, 14:51 8
  - Sounds like 2000-2500 is pretty typical. -- nm - mara Dec 9, 14:58 2
    - My doctor just retired last week. She indicated that informing her customers was an 8 month job. - David Dec 9, 15:03 1
      - The amount of time people need to transition care is long. - Mel Profit Dec 9, 15:06
  - I can tell you that's not unheard of. That may even be average. - Mel Profit Dec 9, 14:54
  - It seemed like a lot, but it's a practice with several doctors and he's a dermatologist so it's a lot of referrals. -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 14:54 2
    - Performance benchmarks people are abandoning him for *good* doctors. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Dec 9, 14:57
    - If he's a derm doc that's easily done. - Mel Profit Dec 9, 14:56
  - I think that is feasable. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 14:52
If Obamacare is so terrible, why does the right have to invent horror stories about it rather than talk about the reality of it? -- nm - David Dec 9, 14:35 1
- Saw this response to a similar comment on FB: because the majority of their voters are too old, or don't know how to use the internet. No fact-check. -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 14:42
