ObamaCare’s Relentless Creation of Second-Class Citizens (5)

[Mass]

50. Talk about ignoring reality. This article compares Obamacare to a system that was never in place.

Frankly, I would probably be dead by now if I was living in one of those states that did not have a decent healthcare system, being diagnosed with breast cancer four years ago. I would simply not have the money to pay for it. So, forgive me for seeing the reality. The MA healthcare probably saved my life, even if it is far from perfect.

Certainly, we would be better off with a single payer based on revenues rather than a flat fee insurance system as Obamacare provides (and yes, I know there are subsidies, but they are just there to get rid of the worse gaps). However, to create second zone citizens implies that they did not exist before. This is beyond stupid.

Note: I agree with most of what this article presents, but sadly, the ridiculous premise implied in the title makes the argument beyond absurd. Obamacare does not cure all problems our system has. The only possible way to do that was to build a system from nothing and even then: Medicare is not perfect either and there are unfairness in the far better systems that exist in Europe and in Canada, particularly when it comes to geography.
