What makes healthcare go up........utilization of the plan. People dont even have primary care physicians today. They run into the "home town clinic" for every little cold, flu ect. It not a "clinic", it is a urgent care. Its costing you more, your insurance company more, and your employer more in premiums at renewal. The American public needs to be educated on shopping around for their healthcare. You can go to one facility for an MRI or CT scan and it will be $2000 and up. You can shop around and get the exact same procedure done for perhaps $750.....but we dont do this. The doctor says go here, so we go there. I personnally believe that everyone needs a Health Savings Account to spend as they see fit for their healthcare.
As Obamacare gets ramped up, you will see less and less doctors even available for care. Some doctors will not even take Obamacare plans because they will pay enough. Doctors today already do not take medicad becuase it pays too low. So there will be a serious shortage in doctors as we move forward. You already see doctors closing practices and joining large hospitals because of the cost, and everything today.
Obamacare is NOT going to make healthcare better. People with healthcare will see increases in their premiums and you will not be happy. The exchange Bronze plan is a lower deductable than most people even have today. And on top of that the Govt is mandating MANY things into the plans (things not necessary for a lot of us) that will cause some to pay for services that we dont even need. "Community" rates......guess what, your 25 and healthy......your going to pay considerably more than you used to pay. Estimates of somewhere around 25% more than you pay today.
