If this ACA was so good for the American people ,how is it that the President, the members of the Senate and the Congress want no part of it if I understand it correctly.
In this whole debate about the ACA and the blame game from the Democrats and the Republicans, the physicians and the working class have to bear the brunt of the ACA.
I can only speak for my family and my staff. Our premiums have increased as well as the deductible anywhere from $2500 to $ 5000.
So my question to the insurance agent was : "What's the point of paying my monthly insurance premium when I have such a high deductible?"
Their answer was that the ACA covers maternity benefits, pre existing conditions ....!! Even if you dont need it you have to take it.
So in other words you spread the risk and spread the wealth around.
The Insurance companies are laughing all the way to the bank with peoples monthly premiums as most will not meet their deductibles.
Beware of the Insurance exchanges- patients have 90 days to change their mind if I understand it correctly.You may be left holding the bag if the patient changes plans.
Unfortunately we have no legitimate body to represent our interests as we get steam rolled by the Senate, Congress, the Insurance companies, Lawyers,Certified Chartered Accountants who seem to know what is best for the physicians and the medical community.
