Health Care Reform Will Be A Disaster

Here's just one reason why: In an effort to save costs, Bama and the Dems want to require all health care consumers to meet first with Primary Care physicians before consulting with specialists. The idea being that specialists are more expensive and many patient meetings with specialists could have been handled by Primary Care physicians. While this may be true, the fact is we have a nation-wide shortage of Primary Care physicians that is nearly a crisis of its own.

Of course Bama and the Congress have no idea this is the case, as they have their own set of personal physicians whose consumer base number 536 plus immediate family. Almost no one else in America has such luxury.

So the other 99% or Americans will be forced to wait in line to see a limited and over-taxed (in more ways than one) number of physicians before being OK'd to then see a specialist.

The result will be even longer waits to see your doctor. All the horrifying stories of inhumane waiting times we hear out of Canada and the UK will happen here, in America.

Of course we could just pump the system full of unqualified caregivers to handle the load...

Which brings me back to the point of the first blog post I ever made here: Costs can only go up, and quality of care can only go down!!!
