"Surviving American Medicine" Author Dr. Cary Presant's 2016 First Semester 'Report Card' On ObamaCare Makes 'Front Page' News in Huffington Post

Nation's Foremost Leading Health Care Expert Gives a 'B-' Grade to the Affordable Care Act



"Costs associated with ACA have exceeded estimates. With the mandated increased benefits in all plans, private health care plans have seen premium increases of 13-38%."

    LOS ANGELES, CA, April 12, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Cary Presant, Author of Surviving American Medicine: How to Get the Right Doctor, Right Hospital, and Right Treatment with Today's Health Care released his latest report card on ObamaCare in the Huffington Post over the weekend.

His article, which was the front page story in the 'Politics' section of the Huffington Post on April 8, 2016, is the fourth in his highly publicized series of evaluating whether people covered under the Affordable Care Act are receiving the quality health services they need at a reasonable cost.

While Dr. Presant's overall grade for the first semester of 2016 is 2.53 or a B minus, the highest grade he's given ObamaCare since April 2014, when he gave it a 'C'. Dr. Presant, an oncologist and hematologist staffer at City of Hope in Los Angeles says, "In my practice I see patients continuing to be worried about how rates will change, how physician panels will change, and how coverage for their expensive medicines may decrease. He adds, "57% of people still lack confidence in the polls and my practice."

Dr. Presant has spent the majority of his forty years as a physician, professor, administrator, seeking ways to improve health care- and empower people with tips on how to bridge the gap between patients and their doctors. His book, Surviving American Medicine is a navigational guide book for the American healthcare system. He is a frequent contributor to the Huffington Post, where he prescribes insider tips on how to maintain your health and prolong your life; and become your own advocate for doctors, nurses, hospitals, and even insurance companies.
