Unfortunately, we are seeing the practice of politics interfere with the practice of medicine …

Under progressive socialist theory, political power derives from managing real or imagined scarcity. Scarcity drives medical costs up and creates additional scarcity as people are unable to afford medical care. And, creating politicial power for those who serve as gatekeepers, exacting a toll on every person passing their artificially created gate. Upon examining the current state of medical practice and the legislation created by the progressive socialist democrats, I have come to a number of irrefutable conclusions. Conclusions that portend a very dark future for all Americans, with the exception of the wealthy and those who are politically connected and can exert “influence” over the system.

The so-called Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is a misnomer – in fact, it is an outright lie. As the legislation introduces control mechanisms and expenses that make healthcare a scarce commodity, affordability will be a thing controlled by the government and their special interests. There will be no patient protection if you are beyond the norm, an outlier that may require individualized care and perhaps access to specialized and costly treatment.

And, if one we totally objective, what the detractors call cynical, one can plainly see that this system is designed to fail.

Why, you may ask, would anyone designed a system to fail? The answer lies in progressive politics. The progressive socialist democrats have created a system that has a number of loopholes, exceptions, and privileges granted to special interest groups and the politicians themselves. Therefore, the power grab is incomplete until the progressive socialist democrats implement a single-payer system that demands and exerts absolute control over the delivery of healthcare in America.

So with this said, let us look at some of the more troubling aspects of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

The government will create a massive database containing a dossier on every individual in the United States. Medical, financial, educational, and social data will be consolidated in an integrated database that could be used by the government for any purpose it deems necessary and proper to aid in the delivery of healthcare. Going beyond the privacy issues involving a database containing your private, personal, and non-public information, consider that no government has been able to keep those in authority – the people with the “keys to the kingdom” – from illegally accessing government information and using it for their political, personal, professional,or profit-generating advantage.

It is not unlikely that those with weapons will be required at some point to register them and the results recorded in the database. Declaring weapons to be a public health issue allows the corrupt politicians to skirt the Second Amendment of the Constitution and to force many Americans to “voluntarily” surrender their firearms or face an extreme upward “adjustment” in their healthcare insurance premiums on the speculative basis that people with firearms are likely to use those weapons in a manner that creates additional healthcare costs. 

It is not unlikely that those who engage in “inappropriate behaviors,” eating too much, drinking too much, engaging in dangerous sports, or simply being gay, might likewise see their insurance premiums “adjusted” to compensate for the risky behavior they voluntarily undertake.

And, it is not unlikely that the government’s power will stop at personal behavior. It is possible that the government may decide to “adjust” the insurance premiums for those who drive certain cars, live in certain areas, and purchase certain products. Thus, controlling the industrial output and consumer economy as if there was a mandate to reduce all risks of living to satisfy the requirements to provide healthcare at the lowest possible cost to the greatest number of insured recipients.

There will be delays and denials of care, by any other commonsense name, rationing …

Mathematics can be used to define our physical reality. And, here on Earth, time is not elastic and expandable, neither are time-based resources such as the number of patients that can be treated by a healthcare professional without compromising the patients safety and the number of patients that can be accommodated within diagnostic testing devices. Which posits a serious concern. How can a system accommodate millions of new patients using the same number of facilities, physicians, diagnostic devices and the other resources critical to the delivery of healthcare?

It is possible that some patients do not require advanced levels of care.

It is possible that some patients do not require a specialist to provide care.

It is possible that there is some “slack” in the system that can accommodate additional patients; but it is also possible that current practitioners need this “slack” to fully consider the treatment of existing patients, prepare for new patients, handle administrative chores, and engage in continuing education.

But, in the final analysis, you cannot add millions of patients to a finite and already burdened system without sacrificing something – the cost, or the availability of quality medical care for all enrolled individuals. Resulting in insurance companies denying and delaying claims – maybe until the point where you give up and die.

Here we find that the government is stepping between the physician and his patient. Inserting government bureaucrats and insurance company clerks into the process. Approving or denying care according to computerized criteria that is designed to provide adequate healthcare to the 80% masses while rejecting the specialized healthcare that may be required to save the lives or improve the quality of care in the 20% outliers. This can be easily illustrated using a standard statistical “bell curve” found in all areas of science and statistics.

So how will appropriate healthcare be defined?

Before the Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act, deep in the bowels of the progressive socialist democrat-crafted stimulus bill known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), there were billion dollar expenditures on the beginnings of what is now colloquially known as Obamacare. Proof positive that the legislators were lying about the true costs of the Patient Protection and Affordable Healthcare Act. By breaking up portions of the program and hiding the basic control components in other measures, the legislators dishonestly represented that the costs were contain under a trillion dollars. (Not to be prominently mentioned is the $500 billion cut from Medicare’s Advantage Program to fund Obamacare; thus screwing over senior citizens.  

Comparative effectiveness research is the basis of data that will be used to determine which medical diagnostic procedures, treatment protocols, and medicines will be available to patients – all controlled by allowing or denying patient and physician claims for reimbursement from government-sanctioned insurance companies.

  A council of progressive socialist democrats appointed by a progressive socialist democrat. Not only is the Board’s work compromised by the same type of situational ethics and conflicts of interest that led others in the Obama Administration to cover-up Fast and Furious gun running to Mexican drug cartel scandal, the Benghazi gun-running to terrorists scandal, the IRS scandal, the NSA spying scandal … and other progressive socialist democrat scandals, but it cannot by trusted with the healthcare of American citizens.

Somebody is trying to remedy the situation …

The GOP mounted a good fight in 2010 … but is wasn’t good enough. Perhaps not enough people felt the pain of Obamacare and saw their insurance premiums rise dramatically and were forced to switch doctors – contrary to what Barack Obama promised the American people. Consider this political piece by a doctor in support of the GOP nominee in Michigan. Although Steele did not win office, he held the notorious progressive John Dingell to his lowest percentage of vote in his 55-year career in Congress. Listen to Dr. David Janda for a moment …

Bottom line …

Obamacare is an Obamination that cannot be allowed to stand. It is a radical socialist attack on the American capitalist system and the American way of life. Obamacare potentially, over time, has the potential to kill or injure millions of innocent Americans. Especially senior citizens who saw their retirement evaporate under Obama’s mishandling of the economy.

After four years, it is no longer Bush’s fault. It is no longer the Republican’s fault. It is the fault of one man, Barack Hussein Obama, and his cadre of fellow progressive socialist democrats. Something that needs to be remedied in the 2014 congressional election cycle lest America be destroyed from within.

Do what you must do, vote how you must vote … but do it in an informed manner. Do not be one of the sheeple who is being promised something that will never appear – in exchange for your freedom.
