I will go ahead and field this one.

Do all doctors accept Medicaid?

No.

So if Obamacare is passed will all doctors accept that?

No.

The few doctors who will accept it will be flooded by people suddenly ready to use their 'free' medical entitlements. That will cause more rationing than we even see currently with Medicaid.



The real point is that the Government has done a horrible job with every entitlement it has ever operated, what makes anyone think this would be an exception to the rule?

Your such a broken record Bender.

I have never gotten medical treatment at a VA hospital Bender, they are idiots and the vast majority of the doctors are not capable of working on their own, it is the only job they can get.


This is what happens when the Government runs a medical provider and what we will get if Obamacare is passed.



But I do see you again dodged the point that severe rationing "must" happen under Obamacare, I believe you even agreed with that one time about three weeks ago, maybe it was snaf or Hugo who said it first and then you agreed to it, just like you agreed that Obamacare would one day eliminate all private insurance companies, as Obama himself has said he wants.

I'm not trying to tell you anything Bender, I actually said it. From the day I was released from military service, I have never set one foot inside any government medical facility for treatment (I have visited people) or used any government supplied medical care/coverage.

I have used various insurance coverage from employers and on top of that I have a seperate gap coverage that covers my deductables and even gave me a profit for each of my children being born because it reimbursed me for more than my copay and deductable for the hospital and doctors on each birth.



I would not trust anyone I loved to care from a doctor who would work for the Government if I had any other choice.

Emergency and nobody else is around, sure, sometimes you do not always have an option, but given a choice, no.

Your dodging the question. You do indeed have Tricare, you just don't want to admit it.

What?

I dodged nothing, I do not have tricare. It is called english, I may have my issues with spelling sometimes but I do know what I do and do not use and I have never enrolled in tricare Bender, never, do you have an issue understanding what never means?


OKAY.

I didn't even really know what tricare was before Bender brought it up, sure I had heard of it but I was not sure exactly how it worked or what it covered so I went to this site:

Welcome to TRICARE, your Military Health Plan

I do not fit into any of those categories.

It seems that tricare is for retired or active duty military, reservists, national guard, and their families.


I served for 4 years active and two years inactive reserves, I do not believe I would qualify for tricare even if I wanted it.

That's me, Bender. I have TRICARE. Cost me 32 years to get it and almost every Congress talks about cutting it out for retirees.

It seems Bender has gone off the deep end lately, lol.

He is dodging almost every direct question asked of him and he is starting to hallucinate or something with trying to say I have tricare, he all but called me a liar and he has no idea what he is talking about.

He may have been thinking of VA benefits. But unless you have a service-connected disability, or are a veteran and are destitute, chances are pretty slim (depending on the part of the country you're in).
