Comments on: "CNN Money" Lists 5 Freedoms You’ll Lose Under "ObamaCare" http://www.thepaytons.org/essays/considerettes/?p=2795 Conservative commentary served up in bite-sized bits Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:22:14 +0000 hourly 1 By: Doug Payton http://www.thepaytons.org/essays/considerettes/?p=2795&cpage=1#comment-12763 Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:22:14 +0000 http://www.thepaytons.org/essays/considerettes/?p=2795#comment-12763 Regarding choosing your doctor; even with referrals you have choice. Our dentist referred us to an orthodontist and we got a quote from him. Deciding we wanted a second opinion, we got a referral to another one and went there for an estimate. (Braces, here we come.) But I do have choices.

Right now, I can choose my primary care doctor. Doesn’t look like I can do that with the current reform bills. Will I have to choose my insurance based on the doctor I would be assigned? That’s less choice than now.

What he says is technically true in the way someone says they can sell you a clothes drier for 25 dollars and gives you clothes pins. The only real change for most Americans is the health care exchange which would give you a choice amongst the exchange, which is actually more than most people get now. The whole you’ll lose your doctor choices is a joke, because I don’t know one specialist I don’t need a referral to go see. The you’ll pay more when you’re young idea I don’t get. If healthcare is already too expensive for them to get how would they suddenly jump into the exchange? This isn’t Romneycare where you are forced into buying private insurance as a giveaway to private insurance.
