The above link is to an article in the Wall Street Journal written by Governor Mitch Daniels of Indiana. WOW...what is great is to see the details that he includes about Obamacare, its cost, and what it means to the states. Please check it out...especially if you still think Obamacare is a good idea. Once again let me reiterate, yes there are a few good parts addressed in the health care bill (pre-existing illnesses being addressed & raising the age of kids on parent's insurance)...but those 2 things alone aren't all there is...health care overhaul is a 2,600 page bill. Although a Federal Judge has voided the bill for now, this issue is sure to go to the Supreme Court. Luckily with my job, I am around all aspects of the healthcare industry. I have learned so much about health care and the business aspect of it. Doctors, pharmacies, and others in the healthcare industry must profit to exist...but not merely exist to profit.

That being said...here's something that I find super interesting. I was in a doctor's office today working, when I overheard a new patient go to give her insurance cards. (She had Blue Cross Blue Shield primarily, but had medicare as secondary). This office told her they were no longer accepting medicare patients...hmmmm. Medicare is government insurance. So, I asked one of the workers why they turned her away. Their response, "I hate to say this, but we don't get reimbursed for the time it takes. Medicare doesn't pay us enough, so we have to turn them away." Do you see my point? The government doesn't pay doctors and pharmacies enough to see the patients who use the government's existing plans...so please realize that Obamacare would have the same issues. Here's the ironic twist...these people voted for Obama. That makes no sense to me...well it does for one reason only. You can read between the lines, but I dare not say anymore!
