I don’t know about you, but all this talk about Obama’s health care plan is making me sick.
Let’s get this straight… the whole plan is based on providing health care to an additional 30 million or so recipients which, on the face of it, sounds like a good idea.
However, we are not going to increase the number of healthcare providers which, incidentally, are retiring in droves without significant replacements on the immediate horizon. Nor will we increase the “waiting time” for services. And we will definitely not institute a method of prioritizing services whereby certain persons will be “more eligible” than others. (Can you say death panels?) Moreover, to top it off, we will actually decrease the overall cost of healthcare.
Really?? Well, maybe… But only after we successfully repeal the law of supply and demand…
Let’s face it… the bottom line is that providing healthcare to many more people will, in fact, cost more money. And if those who are newly added to the healthcare roles cannot or will not pay for these services, someone else will be required to. And that “someone else” is likely to be you!
You see, there are only three payment options for health care. One pays for their own healthcare… or one “freeloads” on the system thereby making others pay for their healthcare… or one pays for their own care and that of the “freeloader” as well.
This last option is the one to be chosen for you in the coming year and this is why your healthcare costs are going to skyrocket. You see, Obama is determined to save you money no matter how much it costs you…
In the past, I have had the opportunity to live in several countries wherein health care is provided without charge to its citizens. And I have to tell you… if you think your healthcare is expensive now; just wait until it is free…
