In the USA without ObamaCare we are allowed to go to any doctor we want whenever we want and spend how much you want. Granted if you have insurance you may be limited to co-pays, referrals, etc. The bottom line is, it is YOUR choice.
Under ObamaCare you will be a ward of the govt. They will be the ones to approve or disapprove your doctor visits, procedures etc. Care WILL HAVE TO BE rationed in order to as Obama claims, “keep prices in check.” Of course the left – which are the only ones pushing for this – claim that isnt the case however that IS the case anywhere else there is socialized medicine.
Check it out, people in Canada who are able DO COME to the USA for treatment instead of waiting for treatment there. Foreigners DO COME to the USA for treatment when they have a wait in their country. People like CharlieHall (an uber left liberal blogger) will tell you thats not the case however they are either lying to you so swallowing Socialist flavored Kool-Aid without thinking things thru clearly.
I had a brother who got sick (coma etc) in the UK and I saw the shoddy healthcare they had there. The primary care doc didnt want to do certain tests because he was insistent to my mother that all my brother had was a cold and he didnt want to go to school. Had he run a simple check, he would have seen that the airway was closing!!! I am not CHV questioning HKBH’s plan but we do have to think of derech ha’teva too.
Anyway, hospitals there closed or were revamped. Now when you get sick you go to hospital 1 and if you need additional care they transport you to hospital 2. In USA terms lets say CHV something happens, you are transported to the doctors office. If you need additional care, such as surgery, scans etc., they transfer you to another hospital. THAT IS SHEER LUNACY!!
People talk about E”Y. Well E”Y has a minute amount of people we do. We have 325 MILLION people and counting!! In EY, my sister broke her finger and needed a splint. She was told to come back in the morning. HELLO!! Something is VERY WRONG with that!! If you cant rely on the hospital to have the equipment needed to do what they have to, whats the point of the hospital?!?!
The American people were told this will bring healthcare costs down saving the govt money which is a lie! Until now, we were paying for the healthcare. If we went to a doc, we paid either out of pocket or with a co-pay but the GOVT DID NOT PAY. Now, the govt will pay! So if someone had 100k worth of medical expenses in 2011 which was paid by the insurance provider, and now the govt pays for it, that means the govt takes on an additional 100K of debt for your healthcare. Where is the govt saving in that? If you didnt buy milk and now the govt tells you you have to buy milk, you ARE spending money on something that you had not done before. This is an additional expense to you.
There are other problems with the bill as well. It is unconstitutional for the govt to mandate that you buy something and you are mandated to buy health “insurance” of some sort with this bill. The left will tell you that you have to buy auto insurance but there is a fallacy in their argument. You see, you have a choice with auto insurance, in the fact that if you dont have a car, you DONT have to buy auto insurance. You dont have a choice not to breath.
We were told our premiums will go down but just about anyone will tell you their premiums have gone UP. Since this law was passed my family’s premium has gone up over 50% for less benefits!
The bill was 3000 pages long and we still dont know what was in there. The democrats in Congress didnt read the entire bill (they admitted to it!!) before shoving it down our throats. The claim that the Republicans didnt present any plans is utter nonsense. The democrats had full control of the House, the Senate, and the President. There was no listening to anything offered up by the Republicans.
The claim that poor people could not get healthcare was bull! All they had to do was walk into ANY hospital and they would be treated. We owe about 5000 dollars to hospitals for deductables and we are paying them off. We are struggling but we are doing it. They could have also gotten on Medicare if necessary. We are BH making too much money for that.
If this is not repealed or struck down altogether by the Supreme Court, we will be no different than other European countries.
