My brother once worked for an extremely shady middle eastern used car dealer. The dealer had a creed he lived by and he often repeated it to my brother. "Give them your promise," he would say with a knowing grin. Of course, the "them" he referred to was the customer and the dealer's shifty smile lent to the understanding that he was giving the customer nothing....a worthless "promise".
What does this have to do with ObamaCare?
The health-care recipient:
The insertion of a bureaucracy between health-care provider and health-care recipient leads to an unhappy health-care recipient as the health-care provider no longer receives reimbursement from the user but, instead the heath-care industry receives reimbursement from the government. The health-care industry naturally caters to its source of funding, the government, rather than the health-care users, the result being health-care users find dissatisfaction as they become little more than health-care costs for the health-care provider. They are no longer customers.
The health-care provider:
The insertion of a bureaucracy between the two parties leads to an unhappy health-care provider due to the fact that the provider is dependent on funding from an entity, the government, to which it provides no service. The health-care industry does, however, get clobbered with plenty of regulations in lieu of the free market incentives it once operated on. Additionally, there is no free market incentive for the government to pay for a service (health-care) it does not receive. The result is that the federal bureaucracy running health-care cuts funding to the health-care industry over time while simultaneously burdening the industry with increased regulation in an attempt to paper over the degraded health-care that results from the budget cuts the bureaucracy imposed on the health-care industry.
The federal government:
The only player in ObamaCare that wins is the federal government. (this assumes a short run view of history. In the long run the federal government looses too due to its weakening the nation through ObamaCare.) The federal government forces its citizenry to give money to it through taxes or fines to support Obama-Care. The federal government has no market incentive to spend the money on health-care for the citizenry and can always find a new program to divert the dollars toward. From the health-care industry it receives plenty of ass kissing. A win-win for the federal government -- money from the health-care user, ass kissing from the health-care provider.
The end result? All the citizenry will ever receive from the ObamCare is a "promise".
Over 70% of MO citizens said to this "promise" last night.
Missouri voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected a key provision of President Barack Obama's health care law, sending a clear message of discontent to Washington and Democrats less than 100 days before the midterm elections.
About 71 percent of Missouri voters backed a ballot measure, Proposition C, that would prohibit the government from requiring people to have health insurance or from penalizing them for not having it.
MO. knows a worthless promise when they see one.
