Doctors are in business to make money and these Drug Companies out there, they got drugs for everything. Quit seeing doctors, i quit taking any kind of drug, legal or illegal.

A Medicare Advantage program for about three years now. Fraud, andwaste, abuse, and accountability under obamacare, my Medicare Advantage program premium went down 1000 this year. Republican a big Money Campaign against letting people know what obamacare is all about. I used to be offended by the name obama care until obama said he it because he cares. Afraid thatare so just like medicare, people will begin the program emma they will find out how great it is, the program, they will find out how great it is, and we wont go any other way. Obamacare is better than what we have. If the republicans republicans have no options. They wanted to repeal its 38 times but they offer no substitution and no way forward area did and no way forward. They are so out of touch with reality. Host here are the phone numbers to weigh in some comments on twitter republican senator mike lee was on the talk shows yesterday. He spoke on fox news sunday. The Washington Times tells us that mr.

The senators, who includes marco rubio, ted cruz, and rand paul say the party needs to draw a line in the sand when it comes to obamacare. Let us take a listen to senator leahy on fox news sunday. [video clip] americans, by a margin of two to one, believe this will make their situation worse, not better. It,nesses do not like individuals hated, union beater say it will be bad for workers. Even state laws and the principal author in the senate described as a train wreck. The law certainly is not ready to be implemented and we should not fund it. News senator lee on fox sunday. Independent caller, hello. Caller i am under obamacare. I have a very good heart doctor. It took me two years to find him. Two years to find this dr. He apologized. He called me into his office and sorry, but i am going to close my office ergo my office. He could not Practice Medicine under obamacare. That is the effect obamacare has had on me. I no longer have my cardiac special test. Was talking about the joys under obamacare, i do not know where he is. It is not working for me. I think we should Pay Attention to what is going to happen under obamacare. Host that is rooted in connecticut. Let us go to marry in foss pirg, maryland, and independent. Fosberg, mary in maryland. A rurali live in county. We were one of four cost the in toyland that was used experiment with obama health care. I very quickly found out that i not keep my own doctor. He can no longer admit me to the hospital. We can now only be admitted through the emergency room, evaluate to you even if your doctor wanted to be admitted. If they want to observe you for while they will put you in a 23 hour observation unit where you are only seen by a licensed practitioner. Most insurances will not pay. I was admitted to the italian ration unit to the evaluation unit. I was never seen by a doctor, i was never seen by a doctor in the emergency room, but a licensed practitioner decided to put be in the observation unit. I was sent home. I was severe asthmatic and respiratory arrest at that point. Over the past several months we wee now they have now have a lovely hospital. 500 employees. The hospital is going under. We have only one hospital. Going toand they are try to combine our hospital maybe with three other counties and their hospitals so we do not know what is going to happen. A lot of the people in our area are trying to go to ruby memorial in West Virginia or the Winchester Hospital in for genia. Winchester hospital in virginia. We are not getting the proper care here. From morris inar san diego. How this am not sure will affect me, i am 62 years old. Since president obama has been in office i have lost my job and been put out of work for 2. 5 years. I am hoping in three years that when medicare kicks in i will be covered by that. If not then i will be in real trouble. Thats interesting to hear lady from connecticut. She lost her cardiologist and my dad is lost his cardiologist. She said she was going to be raising her family instead of practicing that, i think it might have something to do with the Affordable Care act. Hoping medicare kicks in. The gentleman from california, the county medical services is a state program. How obamacare can compete with this, it covers everything. I do not even have to pay any kind of deductible or copay. The best. Hoping for i think you can only impact me in a negative way over all. Independent,s, and hello. Taking careve been of two elderly relatives. Both of them are on medicare. Recently both of the doctors at this specialty clinic told me that my aunts had due pay upfront, seeing as theyre Medicare Service was taking too long to pay. The administrator said because of obama care this is what they are going to start doing. Heres the problem with that. The doctors are charging 160 up front. Medicare only pays 103. My aunts are obligated to pay the rest. I am just appalled of what people think of obamacare. Over 45een working for years and i just got my job hours cut down to 30 hours so my employer could take away my health care, which was fantastic. I did not even have to pay a co pay so they could put us on obamacare. The other thing i am going to say is i think all of these younger people over 26 years old, they are going to find out that they are going to be paying progressive taxes over the years, which are going to be inflated due to hospitalize asian and increase of medical care costs hospitalize asian increaseslization and of medical care costs. A lot of people dont realize they are left out of the system. And i amlong democrat, thinking of switching parties, i am appalled at this nation of everybody i know is working and they are still getting obama phones and link cards. We have become a nation of welfare and handouts. We should go back to the kennedys and say dont ask what the government can do for you but what we can do for the government. Host on twitter press,eet the secretary jack lew defended the policies and cited the Affordable Care act as part of president obamas successful record. We have been through budget debates over the past four years and sometimes you have the sense that people are starting all over again. We are not in the same place that we were in 2011. We have seen several pieces of legislation that reduce the deficit substantially. We are seeing the most rapid reduction of the deficit since the end of world war ii when we he mobilized. Mobilized. De we are controlling healthcare costs. Host jack lew on meet the press and let us hear from sammy in maryland. I am recently retired. I retired in 2011. I have been working for the local government. Fractured her neck six months later. I became her advocate. Gettin ght einformation on the if getting the information on the Healthcare Program is anything like medicare, they assume you have a computer or you can use a computer. Now i ample that having major issues with going through the internet and trying to get the information on medicare. It is an example of how the obamacare stuff is going to be. That is not enough time and in a readily enough format that everyone can use. Republican a far as theou seen as impact of the federal Health Care Law . Caller i am retired. We have our own health care. I am on medicare. Gentleman on before saying the unions were against obamacare, that was not true. The units are trying to get a program where everyone can have health care. The only problem i have is when you go to the hospital, automatically you have to use their doctors that are on call. You are treated in that hospital by their doctors. Your choice of cardiologist or whoever the doctor may be, you do not have anything to do with it because they are in charge. Hospitals are the bad part of the whole system. Whoever it mayh be. Blue cross,to use blue shield, or any of the other programs to supplement my health care. But it is paid through my benefits. My copays are eating me up and it has nothing to do with obamacare. I think republicans need to suck it up and get with the change and help build on it. Thank you. National journal looked at what peoples opinions are on the federal Health Care Law. Even supporters of obama care are ambivalent about the law. Looking at the National Journal piece dan tweets in and says susan, greendale, wisconsin, a democrat, hello. Caller hello. My big concern is that everybody is against it and it is not even an effect yet. Parts that are but not all of it. I think what is going to happen over over time is it is going to change a little bit. We do not know the full impact of it. How can people condemn it . Not only that, i am a retired nurse and i can tell you one thing, that these doctors are not going to like taking a cut in anything. They were against medicare, they were against everything that the elderly or the government tries to do. They want to make their money. That gentleman who just called about doctors going to a hospital and first doctors taking care of you, it in this area the same thing is starting to happen. You go to the hospital and these doctors do not even know who you are. And theyre treating you for that small thing you have, and that is not safe. Host the lost to journal has a front page article that says laura, troy, michigan, a republican, hello. Good morning. I am a volunteer. I drive people to doctors appointments and such. In the last few months i have had two ladies that i took to appointments. They were over 65. Apparently there is a complete physical that is available when you are 65. The one lady found out that she had diabetes and another woman had high Blood Pressure. I think this is wonderful. Who talkederson about going to hospitals and not knowing doctors, many hospitals employing someone called they work for the hospital and the court to make and also speak to the physicians, often times doctors dont do that around the hospitals. When i was in the hospital my doctor came to see me, even this coordinator even with this coordinator from the hospital. The regards to people talking about the cost of Affordable Healthcare, most people do not know the benefits created everyone says it is terrible and we hated. Because i work with a lot of older people, a lot of people to not even know the benefits. If you hear people say, it is awful, but none of them know what it means i asked a man what was so bad about it. He did not know but he heard on the fox channel that it was terrible. I am disappointed in my country now because everything is so negative. I would like to see people talk about good things in our country. Thank you for listening. Indiana, rodney is a democrat. Hello. I am 67 years old, i have been on medicare, and i coverage ina 20 medicare. Last year the premium came down. My copays went away. I am really happy with the insurance. That was overure 93,000. Out of my pocket was less than 3000. I am really happy with what is happening and looking for to getting that completely implemented. I think this is going to be greet for the country. Host bob, in other color another caller in indiana. Concerned about losing my advantage, which i am very happy with. With doctors and stuff, and i have relatives who are nurses who are worried about this program theres no no free ride in this country. Everybody has to just look at sea look and see what the costs are. The promised what it was going to cost on medicare. To to starty have rationing under old care. There is no way to get around it.
