Congress Keeps Gold-Plated Health Care... For Themselves Townhall.com ^ | October 19, 2009 | Jillian Bandes

Personal doctors on call 24/7. Coverage that knows no caps. No exemptions for pre-existing conditions.

Those are the sorts of benefits members of Congress currently enjoy on the taxpayer’s dime, and the kinds of benefits Americans on a government-run public health care plan will never see if Obamacare passes.

“One thing is certain: Congress will exempt itself from whatever lousy health care system it forces on we little people,”

Obamacare will turn health care into a class issue rather than a health issue.

The average person will hear “I'm sorry this plan does not pay for this treatment or medication given your (fill in the blank with any reason to deny treatment because of the cost factor).”

Quality medical care (and by that I mean the quality we are used to) will still be available in this country but only to those who have the means to pay the extra cash.

Each treatment will have qualifiers: conditions that must be met before anything is paid for. Again, the rich will not have to worry about the qualifiers. “Do whatever it takes” will not be an option for the majority of us.

The rich will live longer and the rest of us will have to accept an early death because the treatment is just to expensive.
