I would hope he supports ACA since he was a large contributor of information in it's design. He has a long history of promoting government controlled health care in this country.

Don't toss facts out there, some folks live for the propaganda. It's changed it alright, now , not only can ppl not afford the premiums, forget about the deductible. Sometime real smart folk don't have a whole lot of common sense

I read the first part of the article so I have may have missed it, but a discussion about the cost of unnecessary medical tests/procedures without mention of malpractice lawsuits? Wow.

Read the whole article. It talks about the changes in Denton pre and post exposure. Med mal tort reform occurred in Texas five or six years ago

Love the ACA- with my free phone, I can call all Doctors who wont take my plan . What is a deductible --does it come off my taxes [ that I don't pay] ??? Just got Medicaid which seems much cheaper!

It's difficult to analyze personal finances when your doctorate is in Ancient French Philosophy. I'm still angry that Roberts basically re-wrote the law to squeeze it through a loophole and declare it constitutional. Just shameful. But we reap what we sow. The GOP put up an extremely poor candidate in '08, because evidently it was "his turn", and then Romney had Odumbo on the ropes in the debate and then let him off the hook. We are about 2/3 of the way down the slippery slope to Hell.

I missed what this has to do with Obamacare. All I know is my wife had a Colonoscopy and a tumor was found The test saved her life. When it's you, extra tests are welcome. When it's statistics these tests are on someone else.
