If you like your medicine, you can’t keep your medicine, period. ObamaCARE is now denying medicine to people with serious pre-existing diseases such as lupis or multiple sclerosis.
People with serious pre-existing diseases, precisely those the president aimed to help with ObamaCare, could find themselves paying for expensive drug treatments with no help from the health care exchanges.
Those with expensive diseases such as lupus or multiple sclerosis face something called a “closed drug formulary.”
Dr. Scott Gottlieb of the American Enterprise Institute explains,”if the medicine that you need isn’t on that list, it’s not covered at all. You have to pay completely out of pocket to get that medicine, and the money you spend doesn’t count against your deductible, and it doesn’t count against your out of pocket limits, so you’re basically on your own.”
The plan had claimed it would rescue those with serious pre-existing conditions.
“So it could be that a MS patient could be expected to pay $62,000 just for one medication,” says Dr. Daniel Kantor, who treats MS patients and others with neurological conditions near Jacksonville, Florida. “That’s a possiblity under the new ObamaCare going on right now.”
People with these serious conditions are being forced to forgo their medicine because of the high costs associated with them. Again, well done Obama and progressive liberal Democrats!
This “glitch” is another result of the administration’s insistence to get the bill passed and implemented as soon as possible. Heck most progressives who voted in favor of the law had no idea what they were voting for. It’s what happens when ideology trumps reason, there wasn’t enough time to investigate, research, and do it right. And sadly the people the law was designed to help most are being hurt the most.
