ObamaCare Will Never Deny Medical Treatment?
One of the big misleading statements of ObamaCare is that under government health care you will never be turned down for treatment. Either that is true, or it isn’t. Perhaps we should look at what health care the government already provides and decide how it stacks up against major insurers. Let’s let actual historical numbers help us predict future outcome. Read the AMA’s National Insurance Report Cards yourself: 2008, 2009. If the government thinks it can fix healthcare, why not let them prove it by fixing Medicare first? I wonder what are they waiting for?

It is true that all sources of medical care ration healthcare in some manner, whether it is the government bureaucrat or another at an insurance company fighting with a provider that needs authorization to provide care to someone needing it. I don’t think it is time for the US to change to a single payer system and it is quite unlikely to do so as the current debate seems to support. I do think that a system that regulates insurance companies, requires them to provide insurance without regard to preconditions, doesn’t cancel those that are sick, and is regulated by the government much like a utility is regulated is the way to go.
I do know that our present system cannot survive as it is now because of the escalating costs in both insurance and healthcare. A change must be made.
