Healthcare disaster thwarted

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Well, we almost were on the brink of healthcare rationing.  We were at the edge of a cliff overlooking a huge abyss of nightmares.  This has been halted for a little while but do not be fooled. It will happen.  Healthcare will be rationed within the next three years.  It is a corner stone of Obama’s policy and goal.  By controlling healthcare, he can ration it, he can shift it from old to young and he can control every man’s information and destiny. He can decide that anyone after 65 will not get open heart surgery. He can decide that a baby born with a disease that is too expensive to chronically maintain, will not get the medicine and treatment it needs so it can succumb to the illness and so the cost for that treatment will be cut down and the government spends less.  There will be no alternatives offered. That is the only way Mr. Obama can control spending while expanding. He has made doctors ineffective by keeping high costs for running a practice, high liability insurance and by lowering the reimbursement through medicare cuts-and 20% cut is about to pass in March.  The doctors were the only advocates that people had. They knew what was right or wrong.  With their voice silenced there will be no one to inform or protect. How are the doctors silenced? They will be driven to work for the government hospitals and healthcare facilities as it will be economically not feasible to work for themselves.  The government at the start will offer good salaries better than they can make in private practice with less hassle.  Eventually those salaries will be lowered once all sign up.  Once a doctor works for the government all rules of compliance apply otherwise no job.  So we now must embrace to what is coming down the pike and I hope that each person evaluates the situation for themselves and elects those representatives best suited for each one’s future.
