I saw this comment
The private sector is already creating their response to Obamacare. Primary care clinics are being opened, that offer only primary care for $25 cash. No insurance, no Obamacare, no exceptions. $25 is less than the co-pay in one of Obamacare’s crappy policies.
Obamacare’s ‘pay more for less’ redistribution scheme will fail because it is poorly designed and unaffordable to most Americans.
and wondered if it was true. So I Googled “new primary care clinics opening” and got 280+ million hits. So there may be some truth to it.

How well will they be able to treat cancer or kidney dialisis patients or other serious conditions like a burst appendix? More right wing bull—t! I do not oppose these clinics ;but they will not solve america’s uninsured problem. Just another welfare cadillac story that bonzo liked to tell when he wasn’t commiting treason with iran of financing his war in central america thru contra drug smuggeling and selling cia-contra dope to black school children.
Now, see, this is exactly the sort of spontaneous reform that the Affordable Care Prevention Act was meant to preempt!
If you let people pay cash for routine treatment, at reasonable prices, and bypass the third-party-payer system, how will Big Finance make its day-to-day Big Bucks?
And, cAPTAIN*iNCOHERENT, this is *not* a substitute for a major medical policy, nor is it meant to be. It’s a more efficient way of paying for the routine care that’s now required to be bundled with everyone’s insurance. “Upgrading” from a catastrophic-only policy to a Bronze plan means you’re paying an extra $1000 or so a year in premiums, for the privilege of paying “only” $60 for each of your first three primary-care doctor visits, and around $130 per visit thereafter until you reach the out-of-pocket (and out-of-this-world) limit.
Well Mr. Incoherent (thank you Eric W!)

That treatment could be done for about $100 for a one to three months supply if the government you love so much hadn’t made pot illegal.

You see – the government you love so much is doing its very best to prop up big pharma. Given your obvious brilliance and wide ranging knowledge I’m surprised you don’t know about this.
