OUCH! This New ObamaCare Study Just Released Will Make Democrat Spin Doctors Utterly Sick

Maybe Barack Obama and his loyal media spin doctors — like the ObamaCare cheerleaders at the New York Times — knew the results of this new study would cast a very dark shadow over the president’s health care takeover scheme…and possibly the critical midterm elections.

Maybe that’s why the Times just published a lengthy report with a conclusion that runs completely counter to the real-world experiences of so many Americans. The paper’s finding?

…the Affordable Care Act has largely succeeded in delivering on President Obama’s main promises….

One of the data points the New York Times uses in offering its cheerful defense of ObamaCare is that the number of Americans without health insurance has fallen significantly.

However, as numerous analysts have observed, many of those added to the ObamaCare insurance rolls are people who have signed up for Medicaid…which means taxpayers will be subsidizing much of their health care.

And now, to add insult to injury, a new study finds that, just because you may have an ObamaCare health plan, doesn’t mean you’ll have a doctor who will accept it. So, contrary to what ObamaCare proponents like those at the Times suggest, there’s not necessarily a great benefit in more people being covered if those people can’t find doctors to treat them.

Via the Daily Caller:

The number of physicians nationwide that are declining to accept health plans from ObamaCare exchanges is growing, according to a study from the American Action Forum.

As of May 2014, over 214,000 doctors wouldn’t participate in ObamaCare plans, and that number may be growing, according to AAF, a free-market think tank in Washington.

While some ObamaCare kinks have been worked out over the past year, exchange plans remain as unfriendly to doctors as ever.

USA Today digs even deeper into the fundamental ObamaCare problem of people having a terrible time trying to find doctors who will take them as patients:

Because these [ObamaCare] exchange plans often have lower reimbursement rates, some doctors are limiting how many new patients they take with these policies, physician groups and other experts say.

The usatoday.com article explains that insurers are moving to smaller networks of doctors and hospitals in their exchange plans. These “narrow networks” help them reduce costs, but they can also lead to significant problems when consumers look for doctors who will take them.

So, will the ongoing problems with ObamaCare figure into voters’ decisions in the upcoming midterms? The Washington Post seems to think not.

But given the new findings just reported on plan-holders doctor difficulties, the Post’s dismissal of health case as an election issue may prove a bit premature.
