ObamaCare in Jeopardy: Health Care Providers Say Key Component so Complex It’s Unworkable…
Repeal this pig.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s main idea for getting quality health care at less cost was in jeopardy Wednesday after key medical providers called his administration’s initial blueprint so complex it’s unworkable.
Just over a month ago, the administration released long-awaited draft regulations for “accountable care organizations,” networks of doctors and hospitals that would collaborate to keep Medicare patients healthier and share in the savings with taxpayers. Obama’s health care overhaul law envisioned quickly setting up hundreds of such networks around the county to lead a bottom-up reform of America’s bloated health care system.
But in an unusual rebuke, an umbrella group representing premier organizations such as the Mayo Clinic wrote the administration Wednesday saying that more than 90 percent of its members would not participate, because the rules as written are so onerous it would be nearly impossible for them to succeed.
“It’s not just a simple tweak, it’s a significant change that needs to be made,” said Donald Fisher, president of the American Medical Group Association, which represents nearly 400 large medical groups around the country providing care for roughly 1 in 3 Americans. Its members, including the Cleveland Clinic, Intermountain Healthcare in Utah, and Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania, had been seen as the vanguard for accountable care.

HA-A-Al-lelujah! (wanted: one flash mob to do this post justice.)
Good….that worthless, unconstitutional, pile of harry, nancy shit needs to GO!!
Lenin thought up this monster and is no surprise Obama wants to follow in comrade Lenin’s footsteps.
Little Barry Obawful had better enjoy those sky-high AP poll numbers while he still can because the next 18 months are going to be one long continuous bitch-slap for the poser in chief.
And that could be devastating for such a fragile ego. But the lid is off this monumentally stupid Obamacare plan, as well as many other idiotic and socialistic ideas that don’t hold up well under the light of day.
Let’s pile it up and lite it around the feet of Harry and Nancy while they are tied to a stake.
This doesn’t discourage obama. This encourages him. He wants the system to fail so that he can get to single payer.
Ok, how ’bout a blanket waiver for the whole country, problem solved.
I would never advocate violence against this fascist administration. But I wouldn’t be surprised if one day the entire Marxist lot were dragged out of their imperial offices and hanged in Lafayette park by millions of pissed off Americans.
Their entire attitude is that citizens should be slaves to the central planners. They simply do not believe in the Constitution or limited Federal government. Nor do they give a single flying fuck about the rule of law. Countries have fallen all throughout History for the same reasons.
That’s the idea, f**k the system up to bad, everything collapses.
And it’s unconstitutional anyway.
Baffle us with bullshit, waste our time and energy.
All this dithering means nada. Bam has enough acolytes on the judicial
bench to get this whole SNAFU made law…for you, your children,
your grandchildren…your……
The only good use of the Obamacare monstrosity is as prosecution evidence in the impeachment trial.
I think that the ‘so complex it’s unworkable’ angle is intentional. It was never about giving the poor healthcare, it’s about making the system break down so that none of us have it. I’m serious, that’s what I think that they want. If Africa can’t have health care, if central America doesn’t really have it, than neither should we, that’s the Obama/Ayres philosophy.
That’s a great idea for all of Obamaloon’s laws – just say no! Ignore the moron and his band of imbeciles.
geisinger of PA?
oh great, they are bastions of malpractice… people hear “geisinger” and run the other way..
oh wait, that might be a good thing…
this thing’ll never get anywhere..
