1. And let 2nd, 3rd class and the staff

trickle down to Davy Jones' locker.

2. They emphasize, then, that having health insurance won't necessarily translate into access to health

care. "
Yes, we know. It actually is already like that. You can have insurance, but not be able to afford the co-pays, etc. The insurance companies are the death panel - already.

Which why we need single payer, and get rid of the profit motive of the insurers.

5. Yes, suddenly they are concerned about these problems

with health insurance companies whereas in the past when it was like this, they didn't care one iota.

3. so we'll all just toss those 1% of first class over the rail, hope they can swim.

4. I think you linked to the wrong article by mistake.

Your link goes to a story that warns that low reimbursement rates for doctors under Medicaid and ACA Exchange plans may result in fewer doctors signing on to such plans, which would reduce patient choice and make it harder for these folks to access health care. This is something that quite a few DUers have been posting about.

7. I take it that actually getting health care using insurance is like being on the Titanic - right now

the (First Class) people who have health insurance can get in the health care life boats. The people who have no insurance or who cannot afford the co-pays and such have to sink or swim. Mostly sink.
