Bingo!
If we had just pumped an extra $200 billion into Medicaid, we would have had a superior system to ObamaCare and absolutely none of the massive disruption and hugely expensive overhead that is coming.
DE-FUND THIS CATASTROPHE NOW!
Most of the un-insured will not have to pay.
ObamaCare includes a massive Supplemental Payment scheme, which is the ultimate funnel neck into which almost all individuals in the United States will find themselves sliding.
The leftists’ theory is, that most people will apply for supplemental help -— and the premium payment scheme *is* designed to cause a person to seek that government aid.
That’s the catch, the hook, that takes a person who is private and to date has not been on government welfare, but upon application for the Supplemental Payment, that person becomes *ON PAPER* a government dependent.
Thereupon, you become subject to all the inspections of your body, your being, your life and livelihood, and your property, that the leftists claim to be theirs to know about you.
In other words, the path to the leftists’ concept of a Single Payer System, is *not* avoidable unless you have hundreds of thousands of dollars per year’s income, such that your budget comfortably enables you to hold onto a private plan.
The Private Health Plan System will be a fortress protected by the lawyers and judges who set it up, and the cops who physically defend it and get its benefits.
There is going to be a big gap between their much higher-quality tier and the man on the street’s.
In the name of “curing” Haves and Have Nots ... the leftists will create a much bigger divide.
