    So, How's That Obamacare Working For You?

    POTUS made a lot of promises about Obamacare. Lower premiums. More
    people covered. If you like your plan..............

    And, Obamacare was supposed to REDUCE ER visits.

    Well...........
    Three-quarters of emergency physicians say they've seen ER patient visits surge since Obamacare took effect — just the opposite of what many Americans expected would happen. - USA Today
    No real surprise there,

    So why did it happen?
    In addition to the nation's long-standing shortage of primary care doctors — projected by the federal government to exceed 20,000 doctors by 2020 — some physicians won't accept Medicaid because of its low reimbursement rates. That leaves many patients who can't find a primary care doctor to turn to the ER — 56% of doctors in the ACEP poll reported increases in Medicaid patients.
    Isn't that special?
