Noteworthy:
"This reduced compensation in turn is going to reduce the supply of health-care services. In this environment, investors are not going to pony up the funds for health clinics and hospitals; new ones will not be built, and existing ones will just deteriorate over time. Investors will not be interested in funding the development and adoption of high-tech medical equipment like MRIs and CAT scans, or the development of biotech or genetic therapies. Drug companies will sharply cut back on investment in the development of new, cutting-edge miracle drugs.....and:
Along with financial capital, human capital will flee health care. Experienced doctors will retire early and seek more remunerative post-retirement employment. Young talent will seek other, more promising professions."
"Obama’s budget czar, Peter Orszag, spills the beans even more obviously in saying, 'Future increases in spending could be moderated if costly new medical services were adopted more selectively in the future than they have been in the past, and if the diffusion of existing costly services was slowed.'Doing NOTHING about our current health care is clearly much better than doing something (Obamacare), if the "something" involves the black hole of the "progressive" public option.
In other words, the government is going to reduce costs by delaying implementation of technological innovations, discouraging investment in the development of new technology, and leaving patients suffering as they wait for the latest diagnostics and treatment. This will only further discourage investment in the development and adoption of new, advanced medical technologies and drugs, as discussed above.
Implementing all of these cost-control measures will involve the government’s controlling our health care in great detail. Remote government bureaucrats, rather than you and your doctor, will be deciding what health care you will get and when. They will be deciding what health-care advances will be adopted and when.
All of this involves pervasive and detailed central economic planning, which experience teaches us will not work. In other words, Obama’s cost controls involve government rationing of your health care, just as in all those foreign countries with socialized medicine that the CEA admires in its report."

AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!
ReplyDeleteIt’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. A World EPIDEMIC with potential catastrophic consequences for ALL of the American people. The first PANDEMIC in 41 years. And WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES will have to face this PANDEMIC with the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed World.
STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
We spend over twice as much of our GDP on healthcare as any other country in the World. And Individual American spend about ten times as much out of pocket on healthcare as any other people in the World. All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America.
And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health.
Progressive democrats the Tri-Caucus and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded. If congress can not pass a robust public option with at least 51 votes and all robust minimum requirements, congress should immediately move to scrap healthcare reform and request that President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with the immediate implementation of National Healthcare for all Americans under the provisions of HR676 (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All).
Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry. Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan. This is what the vast majority of the American people want. And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy.
In Mexico on average people who received medical care for A-H1N1 (Swine Flu) with in 3 days survived. People who did not receive medical care until 7 days or more died. This has been the same results in the US. But 50 million Americans don’t even have any healthcare coverage. And at least 200 million of you with insurance could not get in to see your private insurance plans doctors in 2 or 3 days, even if your life depended on it. WHICH IT DOES!
If President Obama has to declare a NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY to rescue the American people from our healthcare crisis, he will need all the sustained support you can give him. STICK WITH HIM! He’s doing a brilliant job.
THIS IS THE BIG ONE!
THE BATTLE OF GOOD Vs EVIL!
Join the fight.
Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!
God Bless You
