Obamacare causes wait time in California emergency rooms to skyrocket
Finding out what’s in it: Because their doctors are no longer accepting their Obamacare health plans, patients are flocking to emergency rooms in California, thus increasing the average wait time for treatment to five hours.
I think this quote from the article summarizes the situation quite nicely:
California doctor Robert Subers told his local news station he cannot accept some Obamacare insurance because the payments are so low he would end up owing money out of his own pocket for each visit. “If it was supposed to increase access to care, Obamacare, and if it was supposed to bring down healthcare costs, I’m trying to find out where it’s done either,” he said.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.

No surprise really. Guess its one of those math things progressives cant do.

Once again proving that govt and economics are bad dance partners.
The system has been destroyed as per Obamacare to the detriment of the people.
You can talk to healthcare company’s but you can not sign up for insurance until the enrollment month which is in November. I spoke to a company, OSCAR, in New York, I told them my needs and they said they would send information via email, I received nothing! Previous to that I called them and asked for information and the person on the phone said to me ” just call this number”, the number was not even with their company it was a number that went directly to the state of New York bypassing them totally, without telling me that.
Since when can you not just buy what it is that you want or need, especially for your own healthcare? Our government has become the enemy of the people, they have unnecessarily (as far as the people are concerned) inserted themselves between the people and their freedoms.
Saul Alinsky must be smiling from his grave.
Their next step is to take over the health care agencies.
Seeing as they obviously can’t deal with the increased load and the new insurance payment systems.
You see it would work if only it was administered correctly.
Its the very same excuse they use when trying to explain that communism works.
“If it was just administered correctly it would work, its just that so many leaders in communist states end up becoming dictators. And that is not such a bad thing, but they never end up benevolent dictators helping out their fellow citizens, they always end up going bad.”
“If we were in charge we would do it the right way, just let us prove it to you.”
Your presidents agenda:

Let it not be said that your president does not have commitment to what he believes in, he is truly dedicated to his cause. Notice that no one in the media or politics for the most part will not actually plainly say what that cause is. I guess that is the last crumb of respect that they allow the president because he is the president? Or is it something else?
