Physician says Affordable Care Act an 'experiment' that will fail

[bvar22]

17. Without a "Public Option to Keep them honest" (Obama),

and without any effective Price Controls for the actual delivery of Health CARE,
and with the 50 different states with 50 different Exchanges that disperses the ability to "bargain" with the providers,...

I agree. The Affordable Care Act WILL fail,
but certain pieces will be kept.

*The MANDATE to BUY Insurance from a For Profit Corporation WILL be with us FOREVER.

*The No Exclusion for PECs will stay,
as long as one is RICH enough to afford the pricey Buy In.
(This was a huge gift to the RICH and Upper Middle Class).

*The Medicaid Expansion... who knows at this point?
(It was ruled UNCONSTITUTIONAL bu the Supreme Court, and is now "optional&quot .
It will probably be eventually connected to some kind of Means Testing in most states where Americans must sell EVERYTHING they have worked for their entire lives, and be absolutely BROKE before they will be eligible for the "Expansion".

But no matter which components remain, what we WILL LOOSE (and have already LOST) is the ability to implement a REAL
National, Publicly Owned, Government Administered Health Insurance Program (a la FDR & LBJ). That opportunity is NOW GONE.

Anytime ANYONE dares to bring it up they will be met with a hailstorm of,
"[font size=3]We already TRIED that, and it didn't WORK"[/font]
even though "ObamaCare" didn't come anywhere CLOSE to that.[/font]


Failure by design?
Your call.


You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
