I am astonished to see an MSM organ such as the Plain Dealer publish such an editorial. Kudos to Mr. O'Brien, the Plain Dealer's deputy editorial page editor, for writing this piece and actually getting it published. He is spot on...
The result — and this was certainly an intended consequence — will be a medical insurance system at first dominated by and eventually exclusive to the federal government.

...The VA offers precisely what Obamacare offers: not a guarantee of treatment in time of need, but a guarantee of a place in line for treatment at a time of the bureaucracy's choosing. For some, that time will never come.

Bureaucracies rightly see people as captive clients, not as customers free to take their business elsewhere. (If Obamacare is allowed to remain the law, eventually there will be no "elsewhere.") So the place in line can change — or simply disappear — to suit the needs of the bureaucracy. Unless, of course, you "know somebody."

Put government in charge of health care and medical need will be well down the list of reasons for making any decision.

When abuses come to light, everyone will be mad as hell. But after a little window dressing, the same system, based on the same false promise, with the same deficiencies and the same impossible mission, will go on and on.

How good will 0bamaCare be compared to the VA?
Treatment at the VA is optional 0bamaCare is mandatory.
