If you like your government health care, you can keep your government health care. If you don’t like it, you can try one if the doctors blacklisted by Obama Inc.
If you think you don’t have government health care because you aren’t on Medicare or Medicaid or the VA and you never even visited Healthcare.gov, here’s some bad news.
Once the government begins subsidizing a piece of something, it’s government property. And it doesn’t matter if you’re the one doing the subsidizing instead of being subsidized.
Once the needle goes in , it never comes out.
Standing between you and your doctor is a man named Barack who enjoys golf, long flights to award ceremonies in his honor and controlling every aspect of your life.
Don’t worry, he means well. So do his death panels.
Section 1311(h)(1)(B) of the health law gives the secretary of Health and Human Services blanket authority to dictate how doctors treat patients. Not just patients in government programs like Medicare and Medicaid, but patients with private plans they pay for themselves. On Dec. 2, 2013, we learned from the Federal Register that the rules are now being written. Starting in 2015, insurance companies will be barred from doing business with doctors who fail to comply. The rules will be offered in the name of ensuring “health-care quality,” which of course could mean anything.
“The powers given to the secretary are so broad, he or she could literally dictate how all physicians nationwide practice medicine,” warns Congressman Phil Gingrey (R. Georgia), himself a physician. Gingrey is sponsoring a bill to repeal Section 1311(h)(1)(B). Otherwise, he says, the HHS secretary — a Washington bureaucrat with no medical training — could, for example, bar doctors from doing routine mammogram screenings until female patients turn 50. In short, the federal government will be calling the shots on what patients get.
The rules have not been announced, but we have some hints from the president’s key health advisor when the Affordable Care Act was written, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel. Early on, he suggested that doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously “as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or effects on others.”
That’s the whole point.
We’re not going to be allowed to have a two tier system in which people can pay privately for things that they can’t get under ObamaCare. It will all be ObamaCare or nothing put us on the road to single payer.
