发帖数: 29846 | 1 White House Forces Obamacare Insurers To Cover Unpaid Patients At A Loss
by Jammie
Of all of the last-minute delays, website bungles, and Presidential whims
that have marred the roll-out of Obamacare’s subsidized insurance exchanges
, what happened on Thursday, December 12 will stand as one of the most
lawless acts yet committed by this administration. The White House—having
canceled Americans’ old health plans, and having botched the system for
enrolling people in new ones—knows that millions of Americans will enter
the new year without health coverage. So instead of actually fixing the
problem, the administration is retroactively attempting to force insurers to
hand out free health care—at a loss—to those whom the White House has
rendered uninsured. If Obamacare wasn’t a government takeover of the health
insurance industry, then what is it now?
On Wednesday afternoon, health policy reporters found in their inboxes a
friendly e-mail from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,
announcing “steps to ensure Americans signing up through the Marketplace
have coverage and access to the care they need on January 1.” Basically,
the “steps” involve muscling insurers to provide free or discounted care
to those who have become uninsured because of the problems with healthcare.
