And that is why medical costs and insurance has skyrocketed in price.
Obamacare has been responsible for much of the rising cost of healthcare. The $2500 savings per family was a complete lie. Obamacare was designed to pave the way for government provided healthcare. What has happened since Obamacare was implemented?
1). A huge federal bureaucracy of health care agencies was created and existing agencies expanded. These agencies are entwined with the corporations they are supposed to regulate. The bureaucrats direct research dollars determining the “science” in healthcare. They have politicized medical science by controlling the funding.
2). The consolidation of the health insurance, pharmaceutical, and health care delivery systems into huge corporations. These corporations, along with their allied government bureaucrats determine how health care will be delivered, what type of assembly line health care the masses will receive, the cost of health care, and the quality (or not) of healthcare.
3). The end of patient centric individualized care. Local doctor offices have been gobbled up by hospital chains, ending the freedom of the physician to look at each person as an individual case with unique conditions. Today physicians are employees who follow the formulaic treatment regimens determined by big hospital chains, big insurance companies, and Big Pharma. Specialist look at conditions individually and there is no wholistic view of health. The billions of dollars Big Pharma uses to influence government, hospital systems, Congress, and doctors results in high cost prescription drugs being used for almost any condition instead of lower cost and often more “healthy” natural cures or low cost medication no longer under patent.
Obamacare has put in place the politicized bureaucratic structure for socialized medicine, and has made the health care system so complex and costly for the average citizen the country is almost ready for the next step — a complete government takeover of the system. As the system becomes unaffordable for average citizens, politicians on the left will begin demanding the government take it over. We no longer have a free market for medical care and most citizens with memories of inexpensive personalized healthcare are dying off. Faced with the choice of the current Obamacare spawned dysfunctional and expensive system and a government controlled system, the people will embrace the chains of socialism.
