Top hospitals opt out of Obamacare. “There has been an incredible amount of focus on the premium cost and subsidy, and precious little focus on what you get for your money.” It’s amazing how bad one’s luck is when one doesn’t know WTF one is doing. Oh, almost forgot… BOOOOSH!

A similar article that I got in email:
Top Hospitals Won’t Be Treating Many Obamacare Patients
Capitol Hill Daily predicted that the eventual outcome of Obamacare would be a two-tiered medical system – one system for the wealthy, and another system for most Americans.
Obamacare health plans, Medicare and Medicaid recipients will get one level of care akin to what socialized medicine affords in Britain and Canada. Meanwhile, those with private insurance off the exchanges will have a completely different experience.
It seems the new system is already taking shape, considering the revelations that many of America’s best hospitals aren’t letting in the Obamacare masses.
You see, the Obamacare plans are risky for insurance companies. They don’t have good data on who will actually show up and buy plans. It’s assumed by the biggest insurance companies that the clients in the Obamacare pool are likely poorer, with larger medical problems. They assume these are the people that couldn’t get insurance because of preexisting conditions.
To hedge their risks, insurance companies are asking providers to accept smaller reimbursements. Therefore, only the hospitals and doctors that need business are accepting the smaller Obamacare reimbursements. The best hospitals, the ones that don’t need more business, decide to opt out, effectively shutting their doors to Obamacare patients.

I would love to know what Obliviousidiot's hospital is going to do.
This could get interesting.
I guess the medical industry didn't like what was in it either.
Just as predicted another socialist plan turns out to separate society into the elites and the proles. Communists/progressives/fascists/socialist hate HATE the middle class.
