My predictions
****
1. I’m not sure if this is already a part of Obamacare, but I predict new legislation will force doctors to take on many, MANY new Medicaid patient under threat of loss of their license for refusal to do so.
2. There will be a HUGE stimulus for rebuilding the hurricane-damaged areas. Most of that money will be lost and diverted, leading to..
3. Another even bigger stimulus to accomplish what the one mentioned above was supposed to accomplish.
4. MASSIVE Defense industry layoffs. We will start seeing these before the end of 2012.
5. More money thrown into the “green projects” black hole.
6. Amnesty for all illegals along with instant voter registration, EBT cards, Medicaid and FREE CELL PHONES.
7. Government seizure of individual retirement accounts.
8. REPARATIONS! A thug on every street in every suburb of America! A huge percentage of Fannie/Freddie govt owned foreclosures will become HUD homes or some type of govt program will sell or rent these homes to low income people for payments of < $100 per month.
9. TAXES, TAXES, TAXES! National sales tax and VAT tax.
10. In states where gay-marriage was passed, churches will be forced to either allow these weddings to take place within their sanctuaries or lose their tax-exempt status.
11. Obama will finally ADMIT he is a Muslim. A huge percentage of his followers will immediately convert to Islam too.
Did I miss anything?
Oh forgot two of them:
9. Doctors will “retire” or just plain quit practice.
10. Abortions will become rampant since they are covered by U.S. healthcare.
And yes, I do believe that we are in this situation because we (as a country) have turned our back on God.
I got a letter from my Doctor telling me he is closing his practice on Nov 16th. He will now work full-time at a hospital.
I expect lots of doctors to quit. Many will go into research, work for private concerns like hospitals or insurance companies, and some will simply go Galt as the costs will just be too much.
The end result will be a shortage of doctors, and long waiting lists to see one. The OVERALL result will be less healthcare for everyone as doctors become rarer than hen’s teeth.
And the stupid Obama voters will bitch and moan and blame the “greedy” doctors even more.
