[From article]
Why not free insurance for all Americans? Does that include undocumented Americans? And… who will pay for it? The government, you say. But, aren’t WE the government, ask We The People?
[. . .]
The primary purpose of healthcare reform, per multiple statements by President Obama in 2009, was to “bend down the spending curve” for U.S. healthcare. So, how does committing our nation to $2.6 trillion of new spending accomplish that goal?
Do the first grade math. Two million newly insured at a cost of $2.6 trillion equals $1,300,000 per person! How does that qualify as “Affordable” health care?
[. . .]
In fact, ACA takes money for Medicare services to pay for federal bureaucracy. It also takes large chunks of money out of your wallet, without you knowing: seventeen new-but-hidden taxes or increased ones already in force.
[. . .]
Current estimates range from as low as 350,000 lost jobs to as many as 2.6 million “able-bodied adults [who will] drop out of the labor force.” How is this a “smashing success” or something to be “appreciated”?
[. . .]
Even as CoveredCalifornia (The Golden State’s ACA Health Exchange) signed up 1.3 million new Medicaid enrollees, California doctors, or at least 70 percent of them, said they could not afford to care for ACA-insured patients. Reimbursements were below their cost of staying in business. So, more insured persons and fewer doctors to care for them. Sounds like the average person will experience what our veterans are used to at VA Hospitals.
