The good news: once Obamacare kicks in, out of pocket health costs will be capped at about 6 K for individuals and 12 K for families. The bad news: you could still end up in bankrupcty if you don’t have that kind of money. But I believe most hospitals and health care providers can put you on an extended payment plan.
Actually a lot of people can’t afford that.I really don’t think anyone has a handle on how this will work.
None of it will work. The market place is the only logical organizer of most things, not socialist inspired failed programs. The fact that unions, the politicians who created it, and other special interest groups, all donors to Obama and the Obamaites have received a ticket to opt out, demonstrates the doomed nature of this absurd program. Medical care available will suffer, and a cash market in care will emerge.
