Obama-Care is Bad for Your Health

here’s a little “fun fact,” when barack obama talks about how his haleness programme, is designed to give coverage to 47 million uninsured americans, he is including the 12 million forbidden immigrants in his estimates. more than 25% of the uninsured are in the united states illegally.as the saying goes, “put that in your pipe and smoke it.” on second hand you better not smoke anything, because even if you don’t get sick from smoking or from the increased tax burden from supporting twelve million people who have entered the united states illegally, you may get sick from the lack of coverage you will take a rest. because obama-care will add such a charitable quantity of people to the heath care structure, doctors will make to judge who gets what care. so your classification fellow who needs that treatment might deliver to forgo a lifesaving pass on because it was given to someone who poor the law to come here.buts there’s much more in the air obama-care that’s bad for your health:be wary of obamacare

Sen. Barack Obama has a plan for American health care. He has pledged to solve the problem of the uninsured and ever-increasing health-care costs in a way that, by comparison with what we had heard from his fellow Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Edwards, almost seems moderate and thoughtful.

Monster quest

Mr. Obama’s silver tongue has indeed lulled many in the media, including both sides of the aisle (see the Wall Street Journal, “The wages of HillaryCare” Feb. 7), to report that ObamaCare calls for more competition and only moderate government control. But those comforting misconceptions are only fool’s gold to those who more feared Mr. Edwards’ total government take-over of health care and Hillary’s edicts for health insurance on her terms, whether you want it as she construes it or not.

It is understandable that Mr. Obama’s plan might seem reasonable when compared to those of his rejected Democratic competitors, who declared they would further empower government, micromanage health insurance, marginalize the independence of patients and doctors and then force it on a naive American public that mistakenly seems to believe that if government pays it is free and that government-run health care is higher quality.

Beware the superficial illusion of moderation - Mr. Obama’s plan is filled with fantasies about costs, new government mandates and bureaucracies, and in the end, taxes and faith in big government that necessarily will be far greater and broader than his campaign admits, or perhaps worse yet, fails to understand.

First, let’s be very clear: Mr. Obama’s plan would instill new government mandates and expand costly government entitlement programs already stressed far beyond their sustainability. He creates a mandate that all families buy health insurance coverage for their children. He expands Medicaid and SCHIP eligibility, programs already overreaching by either covering families who can already afford insurance but choose not to, or by insuring adults (even childless ones) via a program designed strictly for children. He establishes a new government-run National Health Exchange, a Big Brother bureaucracy that will oversee the private insurance industry and “will act as a watchdog and help reform the private insurance market by creating rules and standards for participating insurance plans.”

He calls for a new public insurance entitlement program for those without employer-provided care, once again repeating the mistake of positioning the government as the all-knowing insurer rather than as the provider of money to empower individuals and families so they themselves can purchase insurance they value.

Government mandates are in fact one of the root causes of high health insurance costs - the approximately 2,000 different state mandated benefits currently increase the cost of basic health coverage by little less than 20 percent to more than 50 percent, depending on the state.

Moreover, government-controlled health insurance has proven unable to rein in costs. Most other countries, including even the mother of all welfare states, Sweden, recognize this and are turning toward instilling competition and privatization to bring down costs.

Second, Mr. Obama’s plans are funded by fantasies and new taxes. The financing of his plan depends heavily on purely hypothetical cost savings, most of which are already discredited by the Congressional Budget Office (see May 2008, “Evidence on the Costs and Benefits of Health Information Technology”), in
