It is going to get worse, before it gets better.. health care act

14. I didn't say it was an ACA issue.

It isn't. It's been a problem for years before now. Decades perhaps. However, the problem isn't going to get any better. My point was that when people start getting their insurance, and try to make the appointments, they are likely to run into the same problems, and it will likely get worse. So they will blame who? Insurance companies? The insurance companies isn't responsible for the shortage of doctors is it? We increased demand with the ACA, and did not to address the supply. The blame for that will be placed squarely on us, by the voters.

Then the year after, the employer mandate will finally kick in, and then more people will be shopping for insurance in the exchanges, while the prices go up, they may blame the insurance companies for that, but too many will blame us. 2014 is in trouble, 2016 is in doubt. We are liable to be in the minority for a decade over this.
