This is a Word excerpt from a PDF file of a report by Peter Ferrara of the Heartland Institute. This report and analysis of Obama's Health Care proposal is quite an eye opener. I have down loaded, and tried to read Obama's huge proposal, but not being a Lawyer, I had no idea what I was reading.Then I found this report. It is a 36 page PDF File that is well worth your time to read. If you like Obama or not, this is something you need to read. The link to the PDF is below the following excerpt.
The Obama Health Plan: Rationing,
Higher Taxes, and Lower Quality Care
By Peter Ferrara
1. Introduction
President Barack Obama and Congressional Democrats are rushing to enact legislation that would overhaul the way health care is financed and delivered in the United States.
It would dramatically increase the role of government in virtually all aspects of health care.
Such an initiative should be carefully studied to determine whether it actually solves problems in the health care arena or makes them worse.
National health plans similar to what President Obama is proposing have been adopted in other countries.
Theyalways start out promising universal access and free or reduced-price health care. But they end up with massive institutional bureaucracies whose purpose and function are to deny health care and medicalservices.
Often they fail to control spending despite resorting to withholding care to politically
weak groups.
President Obama insists that his plan to fundamentally restructure health care is needed to reduce
costs. He has touted a report from his Council of Economic Advisors that specifies exactly how
that would be done.
That report, however, elaborates a policy of thorough government health
care rationing achieved through government control of the financing and delivery of care.
This study will explain how the health policy changes President Obama and Congressional
Democrats support would cause millions of Americans to lose their choice of doctors and
insurance coverage, require that access to care be strictly rationed, and cause the quality of care
to deteriorate.
Despite all this sacrifice, nationalizing health insurance in America would require
major tax increases, slow economic growth, and increase the national debt.
