Modern healthcare as Americans know (or knew) it is an immensely complex thing. This Obamacare monstrosity presumes to embrace the entire craft from stem to stern in its arms.
This is so not going to work, and the GOP will so have its “I told you so” moment. But not before millions of Americans have needlessly suffered.
Which means we all get it in the stern.
I was amazed at the utter blindness of those who actually thought that “The Affordable Health Care Act” actually had some reason to be named that. Many seemed to believe that it would mean free health care for all and were astounded when I told them that it would require anyone who did not have employer furnished coverage to buy health insurance and there would be penalties for those who did not. I also told them that if this monstrosity passed and survived to be put into effect that it would in fact mean no real health care for anyone except a few at the very top with everyone else having to pay in one way or another for something they would most certainly not receive. They thought I was as crazy as an outhouse mouse! I wonder if they will ever remember what I told them when they are waiting a year to see some nurse practitioner with an unpronounceable name who speaks with an incomprehensible accent and prescribes some drug they cannot get and which probably would do them no good if they did.
I think I will see if I can find an old mountain woman who still knows the old home remedies. I certainly won’t get any help from the so called “MAINSTREAM MEDICINE” practitioners.
