The Living Nightmare of Socialized Medicine
Canada Free Press ^ | 09/30/15 | Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh

There is no such thing as free care. Someone else must pay for it either through higher taxes, non-use of services, confiscatory premiums, writing-off costs, government subsidies, or denial of needed services, rationing

When the government promises too much free medical care to too many people without making a significant investment in the medical infrastructure, its staff, and its professional delivery, innocent victims of a shortchanged, diluted, and inefficient service are likely to emerge. And the victims will suffer in silence physically or financially, paying for much reduced or unaffordable healthcare.

Add to the poorly planned mix an enormously expensive electronic system that does not work very well and a huge influx of illegal aliens who receive free medical care the moment they unlawfully set foot on our soil, and this overburdened and unnecessarily expensive system became the Affordable Care Act passed by unilateral Democrat support and signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010. Colloquially known as ObamaCare, despite protests from a majority of Americans, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was upheld by the Supreme Court as a tax.

A relative told me he was laid off from his hospital job about 3 months ago. He purchase hospital supplies. Made a big salary doing so. About 10 years ago he lost another job at another hospital that closed because of all the illegals that showed up for FREE healthcare. So far the cost for him is 2 jobs from socialize medicine.

With his job severance money and unemployment he is making about $4,000 a week after taxes <- till February!
I asked if he was looking for another job. He said he was 57 so he does not know if he will be able to get one.
