Trends in a large bureaucratic system are not apparent initially, when new policies are set in place. People cannot easily fathom the long-term repercussions of a public “one payer” insurance system. Trends become apparent several decades later, when it is essentially impossible to “uninstall” the system. Here are some dangerous trends, seen from the point of view of a person who lived and raised a family within such system in Ontario, Canada.

The redirection trend

This trend is dangerous to people’s lives. It happens in periods of high demand for health care, when hospitals cannot respond to emergency cases any more because of scarcity of emergency beds.

Just got my letter recently from my former employer, (I’m retired) telling me about changes effective on Jan. 1, 2011.

Among them, the nonsense about 26 year old children being covered. No co pays on vaccines, where as the life time ceiling for an individual was $3,500,000, it is now no ceiling and a few other “goodies”.

They will let me know by letter on Nov 15th how much my premium increase is.

Most people in single payer would not give it up.
They 1) Do not care about the seriously ill or elderly;
2) Do not want to be hassled by bills for routine services through most of their lives;
3) Do not care about paying double in taxes than they would average in costs if it comes bit by bit from their paychecks without ever seeing it.

Great article, and thank you, Mr. Gori! You have summed up all my fears about public health care in a comprehensive and dynamic way. I’d like to save this and share it with my liberal friend.

They left out a most frightening trend in today's hospitals: nosocomial infections.

Almost everyone I know of who has been in a hospital (especially surgical patients) has contracted a "resistant staph infection".

I'm going to have to be so disabled as to be essentially non-functional before I allow myself to be admitted to one of those "biohazard dispensers"...
