If you are still useless under fully-implemented ObamaCare post-2014, then you won't get any medical care.

The first blow to medical care will come shortly. ObamaCare stipulates that for anyone who is readmitted to the hospital within 30 days for any reason, whether it's related to their first visit's problems or not, Medicare will not reimburse the hospital for the costs of the second admission.

This isn't piecemeal socialized medicine, i.e., convert all healthcare workers to government pay, but an actual loss of healthcare resources once whole hospitals start going out of business.

Absolutely false. I hate it when conservatives believe/post things like that instead of raising valid criticisms.

The actual reduction is up to 3%, hardly 100%.
