Repeal Obama Health Care And Fix The Health Care Crisis The Right Way
De BISAWiki
We could go on and on but it is pretty obvious that this is one sorry, dangerous piece of legislation. However, it gets worse, as this week we have come across not one more Obama Health Care calamity but three.
Let's start with a new study done by researchers at the Beacon Hill Institute at Suffolk University in Boston. This research analysis examined the effects of the state wide health care reform law that was implemented in 2006 in Massachusetts. That state-based health care reform effort was very, very similar to Obama Health Care. The law forced all state residents to purchase health care insurance, it placed health care insurance mandates on all businesses in the state with more than 10 employees, it expanded Medicaid coverage, it created a pool of money to subsidy the purchase of health care insurance, and it created health insurance exchanges for those less fortunate people who could not afford insurance company policies. All of these components exist in one way or another in Obama Health Care.
- By a very large margin, those surveyed did not think that Obama Health Care would reduce their health care insurance program costs, will not reduce the administrative costs of their health care plans, and will add to the Federal deficit.
With all the Presidential hopefuls and their supporters saying on TV that Obama Health Care is a complete and total disaster, you, like me, have probably wondered what Obama Health Care. Jonathan Gruber, the M.I.T economics professor who created Obama Health Care explains fully in his book, Health Care Reform. The first few chapters tell "what it is," "How it works," and "why it's necessary. Lets look at what he says.
- The study concluded that Obama Health Care, would suffer the same consequences as the very similar Massachusetts law: higher costs for the taxpayer, increased cost of health care services, more use of emergency rooms, etc., all the exact opposites of what Obama Health Care is falsely supposed to do.
For a while back in June, it seemed like every week brought another unforeseen calamity in the making from Obama Health Care. One week we found out that the law, as written, mistaken made about 3 million non-needy and non-poor Americans eligible for free Medicaid health insurance, funded by the taxpayer. The next week we found out that the law, as written, discriminated against working Americans vs. comparable Americans who were on Social Security by making the working American group pay 50% more for insurance in Obama Health Care's insurance exchanges than those that were not working.
Given what is likely to happen, which is not the way the cost of Obama Health Care was figured, the Cornell analysis estimates that many more workers will end up in the exchanges than was expected, adding an additional $50 billion a year to the national deficit and national debt. If their assumptions and calculations are correct, over a ten year period, about half a TRILLION dollars would be added to the national debt as a result of Obama Health Care. Thus, whatever dream/hope/fantasy the political class had of reducing the national debt over the next tens years as a result of this legislation is pretty much gone by now.
