Universal Healthcare

Otherwise known as failure. . . Some more of Obama's lies



From today's news for those of you that still believe the illusion.



1 - You get to keep your insurance - sort of - you will be grandfathered in so you don't need to take the government stuff. If you change jobs or otherwise change/loose insurance you now have to take the government stuff



2 - You get to keep your insurance take two - no you don't- you see after five years they have mandated that companies stop providing for private insurance so your company insurance will now be from the government - lucky you. . .



3 - you get a choice - no you don't. You won't get to opted out of anything, including vaccinations you don't want. They will be authorized to come to your home to make sure to give them to you. . .



4 - It will save us money - no it won't - GAO - the governments own accounting office says savings will be minimal if any. If you think of how the government works you know it will cost us money



5 - you will have good health insurance like in Canada - did you know some of what Canada calls health insurance we call malpractice? Example from a doctor on the news today - say you get a clot in an artery in your leg. Here you get treated. Canada you can expect a years wait to see a specialist (if you live that long). . . you may loose the leg if you are lucky. . . Or maybe your kid has bad acne that leaves scars on her face - expect a years wait for a specialist there too for help. . . . and watch for the commercial on the woman with brain cancer that had to come to the US for care - if she had waited for her doctor in Canada she would be dead. . .



It will all be about money. If it costs too much you don't get the drug or treatment (just like Canada). You are old, you are not worth the money so too bad, no treatment. . .



And wait until they decide to save more money. . . you will be told what you can do, what you can eat and drink so that you stay healthy and keep costs down. . . it will be in their interest to control you.



And finally look at MA - we now have "universal care" here. Within two years it was WAY over budget and they were starting programs to get Illegal Aliens on the program. So now I pay for the unemployed, welfare cases, and illegals to have insurance. And yes, they still clog up our ERs .



If this passes we are truly screwed. Our health care system is not perfect in a long shot, but it is the best around. Wait till they are all government employees and see what kind of quality folks you get out of med school. . . ..



So remember the government is here to help. They are going to bring us health care with all the care and efficiency of the Registry of Motor Vehicles. . . . or the IRS. Good luck



(guess this explains the rush to pass it before anyone reads it again eh?)
