I don't do recreational drugs. I wish this guy would have told us what the hell he is talking about. What "failing US health care system"? This guy's boss need to send him for a piss test.
I have practiced surgery for 30 years. The problems about to visited upon the public has only been murmured. Now that health care is free, people will show up at the doctors office and demand to be seen. The receptionist will tell them they can get on his office appointment in 5 months. But, but, they will say, but I have obamacare. Then they will be directed to an already strained ememergency room...Now that it is free, that person who would have thought twice or three times before doing that will have absolutely no hesitation to present to get what is their right. AND...if we have a real flu epidemic, the ERs will strained beyond their ability to adapt to the inflow. That means everyone, those with legitimate insurance, those with medicare, those with medicaid and those with obamacare. Everyone will pay the price. Everyone will have diminished health care delivery. Payment will be made by pregnant mothers precipitating in the ER or cab or in the hospital parking lot. Medicare patients will be denied care based on age, bodiy habitus, extant chronic diseases that they have been living with for 25 years...go home with this pill....maybe it will help you. I have lived and moved through these departments of hospitals and I can see it as clear as crystal what is on the horizon, coming at all of us. Once the entitlement mentality kick in full throttle the whole system will collapse. I really think this is their goal. Then they will resurrect a system of totalitarianism more oppressvie than what obamacare is.
