Obamacare


As I travel around the Delmarva Peninsula I hear more and more  people talking about this past presidential election. Some were happy with Obama winning another term and others not so happy because they see as I do the pending downfall of America as Obama continues his dismantling of America. I heard one person say, as a smile came across their face, finally they will get some decent health insurance, but will they?  Sorry to say, It will not be as easy as that. That smile will go away and disappear as Obamacare is fully implemented. A person cannot use an insurance, no matter how good it is, if they cannot find a doctor. More people will be enrolled in this government insurance but there will be fewer doctors to treat these people. Their smile will soon turn into a frown and discontentment when doctors start to close their practices because of the low rate of reimbursement. Their income will not be sufficient to maintain a private office and pay their help. Obamacare has already started to gut Medicare.
If you are a Medicare recipient do not forget the 15-member Board in Washington, appointed by our fearless leader, to determine if you, or I, are too old or too sick to get a knee replacement or have  heart surgery. Obamacare legislation is more than 2000 pages. Few knew then or now the whole contents of the bill when it was passed with only Democratic legislators supporting it. It was not crafted and put together with or by professional medical people  to determine and sort out what was best and needed  But the truth is it was put together by a bunch of congressional staffers that Nancy Pelosi put together. I will agree, as most people will, better health care is needed in America, but, I’m sorry to say Obamacare is not the answer the American people are searching for. Obamacare is a tax, it will raise your taxes, adds additional charges for  many people, lessens the quality of care and will have the “efficiency” of the federal government, which is none. They cannot run any program right, so, how do you think they can manage your medical care. If Obama care is so great why is not Obama and his family enrolled in it? Why aren’t  the members of congress enrolled in it if it is the answer to all the problems facing people who need medical insurance?
How long after this Obamacare starts before the nursing homes start closing and the senior citizens are no longer cared for. We as Americans need to ask these questions and you will be surprised what you might hear or see in the very near future with Obamacare.
