Blue Cross & Blue Shield.
The original "single-payer".

The Silent Exodus

Patients should expect increasing difficulty accessing medical care, according to a survey of 13,575 physicians. The survey commissioned by The Physicians Foundation estimates that "44,250...physicians will be lost from the workforce in the next four years. The survey also found that over the next one to three years, more than 50 percent of physicians will cut back on patients seen, work part-time, switch to concierge medicine, retire, or take other steps likely to reduce patient access. In addition, should 100,000 physicians transition from practice-owner to employed status over the next four years (such as working in a hospital setting), the survey indicates that this will lead to 91 million fewer annual patient encounters."

So much for Obama's promise that "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period." According to the survey, 57.9 percent would not recommend medicine as a career. Fully 77 million babyboomers are exiting employment and entering Medicare, but "No one has enough doctors...It doesn't matter where you are," says Tommy Bohannon from the physician search firm Merritt Hawkins.​

The whole goddamn thing MUST be repealed.
And replaced with something else--logical and with bipartisan participation.

Agree with must be replaced. Don't think bi-partisan will happen anytime soon.

It might--if we have someone with leadership skills.
Obama--has none--whatsoever.

He is a radical agitator to foment hatred and class warfare.
He has shown and proven this many times over.
He has NOTHING else.

His response during the Obamacare debacle--"I Won The Election!"

Romney--might.
His track record suggests it.

bi-partisan is how we got to the mess we have.

there are things that can be done that will address the cost of healthcare (the root problem). with any luck that concept will drive change.
