The real meaning of Obamacare

Here is the reaction of one liberal Democrat with whom I debate, a physician unbelievably. It provides some insight into the mindset of these people. First of all how sick is the paternalistic view of the government and its relationship to the individual citizens, as if the government ever produced or provided anything that it doesn't take from us. The italicized part (my italics) tells you all you need to know about the intentions of this group to take over and control medical care. Watch out everyone else, you're next.

"We will no longer be the only nation in the first world that does not provide health coverage to its population. Now we can begin to weed out the practitioners who dupe their patients into demanding unnecessary and/or ineffective treatments at great expense to all of us. It will take time, but it will be worth it."

The fate of medicine under Obamacare

Subject: The fate of medicine

Looks like government controlled medical care is on the way. The Democrats are taking advantage of their temporary total control of the federal government to start a new "entitlement" and take another step toward their vision of the benevolent world of socialism. One has to hand it to them. They are more persistant and determined than the Republicans when they were in the same position. Of course Bush had the little problem of 9/11 to contend with.

I view the struggle of medicine to progress in the face of government control in the last couple of decades as a metaphor of a man trying to make his way across a bog with his feet mired in mud that sucks back with each step forward. We watch in horror as we begin to see him finally tire and falter.
