You Want To Know The Real Problem With Obamacare?

It is amazing how people can find irrelevant things to argue about. It is as if they really do not want to fight at all.
Take the Obama Healthcare Law. Much is made about its cost, which is important but not really on point. Much is also made about forcing people to buy something. Further from the point–these people must really want not to fight.
Look, the real problem with Obamacare is its path to a single payer system. That single payer is the federal government. The single payer part was stopped only with the election of Scott Brown. At that point, the bill could go no further. It was passed as is, i.e. without the single payer (government) feature.
Now, what exactly is the single payer/government feature, and why is it such a problem? Well, for one, the European and Canadian systems are single payer systems, and they have to ration healthcare. That’s because it would cost too much to pay for full healthcare.
What does rationing mean, you ask? Well, it means when a given hospital’s yearly allotment for pacemakers, or whatever, is met, e.g. in April, there are no more pacemakers. Tough luck if your parent is stuck in a hospital that has used up its allotment. If he or she is too sick to move to another hospital, forget pacing the heart–until next year.

Oh, you say, you’ll get a doctor and an ambulance and move your parent. Not so fast. Government’s are not that stupid. They know you’re pretty smart, so they just pass a law that you cannot do that.
Canadians solve the problem by buying American health insurance. They come to the U.S. to get their important health care. Like everything else in a free society, there is plenty. Like everything else in a controlled society, there is scarcity.

The British and the Germans and the French and, and, and–do the same, in one form or another. Those who can afford it opt out of the government healthcare system–and too bad for those who cannot.
It cannot happen in America, you say? Well, you don’t have to look any further than the VA system. Veterans get care, all right, but not good care. I personally have reviewed the records of many, many veterans. The records are thick. There are many healthcare providers, but few, really few, doctors. And the records cover almost everything but the actual clinical care the patients get.
Healthcare rationing is already here in the U.S. in the VA system.

If Obamacare is not repealed, people will adjust and accept it. Then, the next time there is a Congress and President sympathetic to it, nationalized/single payer healthcare will be added to Obamacare–and the healthcare system will deteriorate, for everyone, forever.

It will mean free healthcare, after taxes, that is. However, there is really no free healthcare, anymore than there is a free lunch. In the case of healthcare, when government takes it over, you get much less than you pay for.
And that’s the real problem with Obamacare.
