President Obama and his fellow progressives in congress are dead set on fixing the problem of unaffordable health care in America. The problem, in their perspective, can only be solved by providing "universal" coverage. Despite the current economic woes, an astronomical amount of debt is about to be passed onto American taxpayers .....again!
In the coming days, weeks and months the move toward universal health care will gradually become a reality. The problem, however will be that the Federal Government cannot possibly negotiate this maneuver without cooperation from private health care providers. This so called cooperation will eventually lead to a merger. This merger will consist of government and private health care. The providers that are willing to meet the governments demands will reap all of the rewards that will come from a government incentive based program. The corporations that choose not to adhere to "forced compliance," will suffer and eventually go out of business or become consumed by the new Universal Health Care Beast. For those of you that need to be reminded, this is what is commonly referred to as Fascism.
In an attempt to save money, doctors will face immense pressure to conform their methods of practice and patients will have to sacrifice quality health care. In an attempt to save "all of us" money. The insurance companies and the government will then strive to increase their profits by ensuring a patient doesn't receive certain types of therapy or treatment. Presently in England a woman may not receive advanced chemotherapy for breast cancer, by denying this treatment money is saved and the "common good" benefits, the patient however does not. Doctors will be intimidated and possibly rewarded for ordering fewer MRI's, X-Rays and other diagnostic procedures. It is important that we keep in mind that the procedures mentioned above are often used to prevent future medical problems. This will not be the case under Medical Fascism.
In addition to the problems mentioned above, rationing protocols will be put in place and patients will no longer receive adequate health care treatment. In the United Kingdom a recent protocol was enacted which guaranteed patients no more than a four (4) hour wait in an emergency room waiting room. Why, with waiting periods like this the local DMV looks like a drive through window at a fast food joint. Interestingly enough, in order to meet these bureaucratic protocols, ambulances are now being required to keep patients in the parking lot for at least three hours before bringing them into the emergency room. The three hour wait in the parking lot allows the patients to meet the new government mandated minimum, four hour wait period in the waiting room and presto, the government has met it's efficiency standards. Despite the fact that the average emergency room wait period is still a staggering 8 hours.
This is exactly the type of nonsense and bureaucracy that can be expected once the government leads us down the path to Medical Fascism. The only thing different is this isn't socialist Europe, its America!
