The victory of Obamacare

We're down to only eleven states who haven't adopted the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, and there's a reasonable chance Wyoming, North Carolina, and Kansas will accept the Obamacare expansion this year.

‘A complete about face’: Some Republicans change tune on Obamacare’s Medicaid expansion

The latest round of Medicaid expansion negotiations comes as states prepare for the eventual end of the Covid-19 public health emergency, and as nearly a third of rural hospitals are at risk of closure.

No, don't you remember Trump ended that on day one.


Ooops, I forgot, he only promised to end it.
 
Obamacare has been fantastic. It has caused hundreds of small family practices to be sold to giant hospital chains that do little but refer you to one of their own specialists who continue down the line to another. The paperwork train requires two or three people just to record the work of one doctor.
Good doctors have taken the opportunity to retire early and many specialists have left for more rural hospital clinics where the bullshit is not yet as deep.
My brother-in-law was diagnosed in early September with a bone on bone hip joint. The soonest replacement schedule is the end of Jan. This story is repeated for many with joint replacement needs. I was a runner and long time golfer and had a hip replaced a couple of decades ago. From diagnosis to the operating room was two weeks.
For those idiots who do not understand, you have succeeded, we have become a third world country with respect to medical care.

Every other industrial country has universal care. It removes all the problems of people unable to afford regular doctor visits. It allows people to change jobs without a medical gap. It allows people to start a business of their own without going without healthcare for their families and employees. When people are in foreign lands for a while, they site gun violence and our healthcare system as the things they do not miss.

Even if your post was true, handjob, its a massive repudiation of the republican party who was unwilling or unable to change, modify, or replace the ACA, despite promises from day one to do so.

I thought the individual mandate was cancelled.
 
Alaska is regretting the Medicaid expansion that then Gov. Walker implemented after then Gov. Parnell rejected it. Walker was a one-termer. Once implemented there's no going back. Our present Gov. and administration , who are stuck with that abomination, have found ways to make Medicaid not worth accepting by practitioners by making draconian regulations on it. :yay:
I'm for Medicaid , but the expansion gave free health insurance for people that could obviously afford private insurance yet rejected it so they could afford their cigarette habit.
As far as the over-regulation it was necessary to balance the state budget. End result, those that really need it now suffer because those that didn't, got it.

Congressman Mark Begich , a lifelong Alaskan, who voted for Obamacare, was booted out after one term by a guy not even from AK, "Ohio Dan" Sullivan.

I'm not saying Medicaid expansion was bad for every state, but most definitely ours.
