Obamacare is not going to address the basis of the health care crisis, which is cost.  That much was predictable from the start.  So, now there isn't enough money to cover all of the high risk people.

But, what is going to happen to them?  Are they simply going to be allowed to die?  No, we all know that isn't the case.  They will, instead, have low quality care at high prices through emergency room service, which cost will still be passed on to the rest of us.

 

Everyone else has universal care.  Everyone else pays far less.  We could do even better than everyone else by having a UHC that covered everyone for unaffordable costs and left doctor's visits to the individual.

 

But, no, we'll continue to debate, to spin wheels, to cry "socialism" while the country goes bankrupt due to health care costs.  How sad.
