The best healthcare in the world?

JD Barleycorn's Avatar
Obamacare only claims to make Healthcare more affordable to those who originally couldn't afford it. The quality of Health Care will remain the same. Obamacare can't change the mishaps that occur in the Medical Field. There will still be Malpractice Law Suits, Misdiagnoses, and improperly prescribed medications. Doctors will see more patients which means they will spend less time with them to get to the next. Those that are young and other wise healthy will only see the Doctor on occasion, those that have serious or potentially serious Health Problems will pay for optimum treatment and those that are terminally ill will die on schedule.

I was listening to the radio yesterday and some democrat let the cat out of the bag. It may have been Sibelius, they said that it was "UNFAIR" that some people got better health care plans than other people.

The United States has the #1 healthcare in the world.

When presidents of countries need major surgeries most come to the USA!


Most of these studies have signicant biases (flaws) which negate the findings.

Yes it is only the best health care in the world when your rich or wealthy, or famous.

By the way two people I know have flown to London to get cancer treatment, because the cost was too great here in the US.

Many Americans have been going to other countries for health care, and find out that they get better care in other countries than they do here in the US.

The only difference between that scam and any form of insurance is the support, and in many cases the mandate, of a government that by definition must be corrupt for endorsing such a practice.

Whether Obama is making this worse or better is beyond me, but it certainly didn't start with him. I blame doctors, who took an oath to heal but follow the insurance dollar over the path of integrity. I obviously find insurance companies at fault, merely by existing. Big Pharma plays a part, as does Madison Ave. The drug commercials are ridiculous. We are to blame ourselves, for playing ball and for not taking better care of ourselves.

Socialize medicine. I don't have all the answers but a good starting point seems to be that if someone is sick, use all available resources to make them better, regardless of race, religion, income, affiliation, education, age, sex, sexual preference, dexterity, etc. Not for profit, just because.

Of fuck, there I go, being all childish and idealistic again. Good day.

Obama is just a "Pitchman" for the ACA. The future of quality Healthcare and skilled Doctors is trending towards the MDVIP Healthcare Networks. Physicians are selected and their case loads are greatly reduced enabling them to spend more time with patients for thorough diagnosis and screening. Although they accept major Health Plans Patients also must join the Network on an average of 1500.00 a year.

Those errors are real. I see them every day. And the Republicans want to eliminate your ability to hold the wrongdoers responsible when it happens. That'll make it safer!!!

You just can't handle them unless you have overwhelming economic damages.

It was those pesky conservatives that said you can't add 12 to 40 million more people and still maintain quality. By all means let's just let 'em die, or be sick so we can continue to let only those who can afford access to adequate care continue to do so. Maybe your outlook would change if you had to foot the bill for your insurance. And don't come at me with the "My benefits are part of my pay" argument because since your entire benefit package is in the hands of what you profess to be an inept and worthless government and, like what has happened in Detroit, those benefits could be slashed at any time. If that were to ever happen to you, I'd like to see your "rugged individualism" in action....ha ha ha.

I was listening to the radio yesterday and some democrat let the cat out of the bag. It may have been Sibelius, they said that it was "UNFAIR" that some people got better health care plans than other people. Sort of like the way it has been prior to the passage of the ACA, right?
