SNIPPET: "Because costs of dealing with chronic diseases of the aging make up the largest wedge of America’s health-care pie, physicians’ widespread disgust with Medicare reimbursements and increasing frustration with Medicare red tape present a crucial obstacle to the Obama administration’s drive for universal health care in America.
About 40 million people have Medicare insurance, not only those 65 and older but also younger disabled people.
Dr. Marc Siegel, an internist and associate professor of Medicine at the NYU Langone Medical Center, in a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, wrote that with more doctors dropping out of one insurance plan or another, “there is no guarantee that you will be able to see a physician no matter what coverage you have.
“Of course, we’re promised by the Obama administration that universal health care insurance will avoid all these problems. But how is that possible when you consider that the medical turnstiles will be the same as they are now, only they will be clogged with more and more patients? The doctors...will be even more overwhelmed.”"
SNIPPET: "If we continue with all other government programs in operation today and raise the taxes to pay for Medicare, plus Medicaid—the health program for low-income folks—the Congressional Budget Office estimates a middle-income family by the middle of this century will have to pay two-thirds of its total income in federal taxes."

It’s okay: every poll shows that most Americans don’t mind paying more if they get more benefits.
And I was really glad to hear that because pay you will.
There’s going to be taxes on top of the taxes. Existing taxes will all be raised. When your federal, state and local government are done with you, you’re going to be wondering how you can survive.
And when you go home at night to your tiny apartment and break up the mac and cheese cause you can’t afford anything else and turn on your TV, the grinning info babe is going to regal you with tales of how your government doesn’t have any money and it’s all your fault cause you’re greedy.
CYA diagnostic tests, redundant consultations and malpractice insurance and settlements drain billions out of health care every year yet not one Senator or Congressman has the balls to take on the trial lawyers and limit frivolous lawsuits against the medical field.
Considering that one of Liberalism’s mantras is that the world is overpopulated...
...when will Obama start mandating one’s required ‘death’ date?
That oughtta ‘solve’ the medical care crisis! Kill people at retirement age.
Sadly, I’m starting to think that he may actually try and propose something like that.
And thank YOU for that beautiful graphic!
