Much has been speculated in
our politically separated nation since the Supreme Court decided that the
federal mandate outlined by the Affordable Health Care Act was determined to be
“Constitutional”. The decision handed
down was an eye opener not only because it revealed the lack of our fellow
American’s ability to read past the headlines but it showed quite clearly, that
most people either supporting or opposing the Law clearly do not know what
the Act and the Court’s decision actually represents.
Given the recent decision by
SCOTUS that the mandate is Constitutional only if the “fines” are now called
“taxes” and how the decision allows Republican controlled States to opt out of
the plan, this “National” healthcare initiative has come to represent an ideal,
only. In fact, despite the Left wing
controlled media’s initial boasting that the entire plan remained intact; the
Court’s decision essentially guts the Act to the point where it now remains a
National burden only rather than an actual solution to our current, medical melee.
Though it is true that many
of the provisions outlined in this Act allows those who should otherwise receive
health care in the richest nation in the world where previously they were
denied it, the reality of ObamaCare is it creates a system of bureaucracy so
large that the price paid by doctors, clinics and hospitals as well as those
now having to shoulder the cost of it, is staggering. Even worse, many who could not previously
afford insurance are now being forced to buy it and companies, mostly small
businesses, are being made to provide it for their employees to their great, financial
dismay. So exactly when does the all too
often touted, affordable part come in?
The reality is that ObamaCare
is nothing more than an extremely expensive Band-Aid applied to the gushing
wound we call our American healthcare system.
In its current form, this Act will never be able to absorb the loss of the
economic blood suffered for the poor state of the Corporate, Heath Care
establishment. This Act is a monster, born
of corporatist politics and greed wrapped in a blanket of false promises and
empty gestures. It is not a solution. In fact, it only worsens the current healthcare
system to the point where even if you are rich enough to afford care, the
administrative labors involved to enact it greatly retards most people’s
ability to acquire it. So my question
is: Why are Liberals still so adamantly supporting it?
