ACA epic fail #239: Your ACA plan may not be accepted at most hospitals

The Obama administration has been claiming that insurance companies will be competing for your dollars under the Affordable Care Act, but apparently they haven’t surveyed the nation’s top hospitals.

Americans who sign up for Obamacare will be getting a big surprise if they expect to access premium health care that may have been previously covered under their personal policies. Most of the top hospitals will accept insurance from just one or two companies operating under Obamacare.

Watchdog.org looked at the top 18 hospitals nationwide as ranked by U.S. News and World Report for 2013-2014. We contacted each hospital to determine their contracts and talked to several insurance companies, as well.

The result of our investigation: Many top hospitals are simply opting out of Obamacare.

And that’s not because their exchanges don’t offer options. Both Ohio and California have a dozen insurance companies on their exchanges, yet two of the states’ premier hospitals — Cleveland Clinic and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center — have only one company in their respective networks.

It gets worser and worser, don't it?

Two things come to mind:

1) Was this thing intentionally set up to fail?

2) What does Nancy Pelosi think, now that we're seeing what's in the bill?

She's probably thinking (but will never say) that Cruz,Lee and the Tea Party were not crazy after all. They knew that the ACA was a disaster. But I think many Democrats will come out and denounce the ACA --not because they suddenly got wise --but their constituents are very upset to say the least.
