The Truth About Obama’s Health Care Plan

The Truth About Obama’s Health Care Plan

I personally do not want the government to start dictating to me which hospitals to visit, which doctors to see, and what treatment my doctor is allowed to provide for me and my family. I do not want my medical records to be shared without my permission on the Internet. God forbid the computers are compromised by hackers, and my medical records are sold to insurance companies and future employers, or just published online for everyone to see. I do not trust the government to make personal health care decisions for my family.

We almost lost our first baby when my wife was sent back home during labor by the very incompetent formerly government-run Prince Georges’s County Hospital in Maryland, now out of business and ironically sold to a private company. The experience was a nightmare for my family, and we have consequently had our babies at the Holy Cross (Catholic) hospital 55 miles away. We love the new doctors and the new hospital. We don’t mind the drive. That is our choice.

The government-run public education in America is the most racist and segregated program we have today. Government bureaucrats have found a way to successfully institute geographical segregation. The quality of the education an innocent child receives in America depends on his/her parent’s zip code. There is gross disparity in the funding of public schools. If the public school is failing your child, the government prevents you from driving further away from home in search of a better public school just because of your economic class. Your child’s future is stuck.
If Obama passes his government run health care plan, be prepared for geographical health care. Your doctor will be chosen for you based on your zip-code. You cannot shop around for a good doctor. Your hospital will be selected for you based on where you live. Everyone will have a different health care quality. This is what the government does. Many will be stuck in emergency rooms, and many poor Americans will die daily because of their government-run inferior health care. Be careful what you wish for.

Besides the military (God bless the heart and soul of our hard-working military families), what else does the government run with equity and efficiency? Can you name one? Is it the public schools, the postal service system, Social Security? Even the government provided Medicaid and Medicare are in worse financial crisis than Social Security. Together, they are the main cause of our fiscal problems.

President Obama also said that I get to keep my insurance company if I like my current plan. But what he is omitting is that if I happen to dislike my policy in the future, Obama’s health care law will prevent me for shopping for another insurance company. Obama is effectively lying by omission. My family would be forced to enrol in the government-run health insurance program.

Isn’t Obama controlling enough of our industries already? Let me understand this: I must go to a government controlled bank to apply for a car loan to purchase some dangerous feather-weight environmentally-friendly car from Government Motors (GM). When I get into a car accident, I would be transported to the government run hospital for treatment. I got it!

Get your stinking power-grabbing hands out of our lives!
