ObamaCare Patients with Serious Pre-Existing Diseases Could Face Expensive Drug Costs

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.”

Uh-oh look whose health plan got canceled
By WND.
Six million-plus Americans have gotten notices that their health insurance plans have been canceled because of Obamacare, and undoubtedly there were some celebrities among them.
Adolf Hitler was distinctly unhappy with his notice, as a parody video reveals.
But at least he knows who to blame: Sen. Ted Cruz.
It’s the latest YouTube parody rewriting the subtitles in the Hitler-rant scene from the 2004 German-language movie “Downfall,” which recounts the Nazi dictator’s final days in his Berlin bunker.
The scene has been the source of numerous political and pop-culture parodies, including Hitler’s outrage at Mitt Romney’s defeat in 2012.
(Warning: Some of the videos contain language that may be offensive to some readers.)
