For those of you who have had the misfortune of having to access medical care for serious, or even life-threatening situations, you should be able to relate best to what Obama and the Democrats have in store for you with their health care reform plan.
Obama's Council of Economic Advisors released a report "The Economic Case for Health Care Reform" which states that Americans must curb their consumption of medical care so there MUST BE GOVERNMENT CONTROLS on what all Americans can spend on health care in order to avoid government programs (Obamacare) from running huge deficits.
Likewise, Obama's Secretary of Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, states that " the only way to slow Medicare spending is to SLOW OVERALL HEALTH SYSTEM spending through comprehensive and carefully crafted legislation".
The consequences of Obamacare are predictable, it is what exists in Canada, the UK and much of Europe. Numerous citizens of these countries have given personal testimonials as to the disaster of government run health care.
It means less spending on R&D for new drugs, new medical diagnostics and treatment procedures to treat what are now untreatable, crippling or low survivor rate illnesses. It means rationing and often significant life threatening delays to access what are now routine diagnostics (like MRIs and CAT scans), complex surgery and expensive medicines.
It means the average quality of health care will decline as hospitals have to cut budgets, shortages of nurses and doctors mount and the government decides through Sebelius' "carefully crafted legislation" what you may be allowed to access.
The trumped up figure of 46 million without health coverage includes at least 12 million illegals, 5 million in short term transition between jobs and at least 10 to 15 million who can afford health care (not in poverty) but who believe they are in good health and choose to gamble and use their money elsewhere. The truly needy should be covered by Medicaid or a comparable system of vouchers to be used with private health insurance providers, not with by a massive government health care system that dictates how much individuals should spend and how much medical providers should charge.
OBAMACARE IS THE CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN!
