You Can Almost Hear the Criminals Lining Up to Get at Obamacare
I found a couple articles over the last couple days to help you get adjusted to the new regime should Obamacare actually pass.
First, from Britain, using the system currently admired by Democrats, we find that hospitals are admitting patients who don’t need to be admitted because they can’t treat them in the emergency room in a timely fashion. Which do you suppose costs more: an overnight stay in a hospital room or an emergency room visit?
Second, this pledge from the Obama administration to root out almost $100 billion in fraudulent and improper spending by his government. Haven’t we heard this before, from every administration in my lifetime? Of course we have, and the President’s promise is as much junk as the promises of previous administrations. The only way to reduce government waste is to reduce the size of government. That, folks, ain’t happening once Obamacare becomes the law of the land.
If the President wants to assure us that his totalitarian health care plan won’t be a Marianas Trench-sized pit of corruption and abuse, he could start by accounting for the nearly $50 billion that’s pouring out of Medicare into the pockets of cheats and frauds.
Yes, I know that’s a silly expectation, but perhaps he could start with a more reasonable goal: explain to us how his trillion-dollar health care takeover won’t waste money like every other government program does in a way that doesn’t set off BS detectors in other galaxies.
