Now that's the type of thinking I like. None of this namby, pamby emotional hand wringing & crying about paradise lost (and possible redemption). I find it particularly annoying when I see FR catering to the conservative porn crowd.
Ok, so let's get down to brass tacks. One of the greatest business opportunities in our life times is to carve out a piece of the action in what is, and will be, the complete cluster f*ck that is PPACA. We're looking at a take-over of 1/6 of the economy, and further plans to siphon off $trillions in existing wealth from the remaining 25-30% presently holding the line.
Since white boomers (and by extension, the Republic) are doomed anyway, why not participate in the fleecing? After all, you're gonna need the dough to cover for your own survival.
As a logical exercise, let's grant a few assumptions:
- businesses will take the path of least resistance; as you state, they are completely agnostic, and will simply drop, opt-in or opt-out based on purely financial considerations
- fed.gov will create exchanges where states fail to do so, thus offering cafeteria plans to those residents
- we can expect to see massive cost shifting, increases in co-pays/deductibles, new capitation rates and of course service denials (ie death panels)
- health care suppliers (hospitals, doctors & nurses) will see service declines due to health care becoming a nightmare industry of which no actual care-giver will want to be involved
- Medicare is being raided to support PPACA/Medicaid, so we'll see continued service cuts in that arena as well, making Medicare completely untenable as an actual facilitator of health care
-Medicaid & state programs will become even more of a joke than they are now; they too will devolve into something similar to Mexican health clinics
So let's add it up: (much) higher insurance costs, lower (or no) health services, and raids on accumulated wealth to cover out-of-pocket costs.
What is gonna happen? Where are the opportunities? If you're not a predator, then you're simply prey. Not taking action is to offer yourself (and your family) to the wolves.
Now that’s interesting - love the nice, concise view.
Will you share your plan with us? :-)
