They Passed the Bill, Now We're Learning...

Just like Princess Pelosi said:

And now we are finding out that it doesn't do what the Democrats said it would do, and it will cost more then they said it would. There's not enough money to cover all those high-risk people who's pre-existing condition(s) will exclude them from other policies and programs.

The Obama administration has not ruled out turning sick people away from an insurance program created by the new healthcare law to provide coverage for the uninsured.

Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool program insist it will run out of money before Jan. 1, 2014. That’s when the program sunsets and health plans can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.

...

Healthcare experts of all stripes warned during the healthcare debate that $5 billion would likely not last until 2014. Millions of Americans cannot find affordable healthcare because of their pre-existing conditions, and that amount would only cover a couple hundred thousand people, according to a recent study by the chief Medicare actuary.

And this recent report from AP highlights issues that we brought up by the many critics of the bill prior to it's being passed (including me!).

People without insurance aren't the ones filling up the nation's emergency rooms. Far from it. The uninsured are no more likely to use ERs than people with private insurance, perhaps because they're wary of huge bills. The biggest users of emergency rooms by far are Medicaid recipients. And the new health insurance law will increase their ranks by about 16 million. And many family doctors limit the number of Medicaid patients they take because of low government reimbursements.

"Just because we've insured people doesn't mean they now have access," said Dr. Elijah Berg. "They're coming to the emergency department because they don't have access to alternatives."
