High Deductibles Chase the Middle Class from Health Services
Joseph E. McIsaac * American Thinker
In a recent conversation, a good buddy enraged by his new private insurance premiums and $5,800-per-year deductible said something that struck me as undoubtedly prophetic.
“I’d literally need to be dying before I would start paying this ridiculous deductible for routine care.”
Under ObamaCare, those who work for a living incur massive premium and deductible increases to subsidize those that cannot or will not provide their own insurance. In the universe of ObamaCare, unless you are among the privileged dependency class that enjoys free health care, gone are the days when cautionary calls can be made to the doctor because a child has a stomachache or bad cough, because such calls will cost you five hundred bucks or so.
As with so many utopian policies of the progressive Left, ObamaCare is rife with unintended consequences that inflict pernicious pain and damage on society.
When Ideology Trumps All
In December of 2009, Mark Steyn adroitly warned, “Democrat operators … know that what matters is to get something, anything across the river, and then burn the bridge behind you” and that single-payer, government-run health care is “the fast track to a permanent left-of-center political culture.”
As recently as August 12 of this year, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid openly confirmed Steyn’s prediction that ObamaCare is but a stepping stone toward achieving the ultimate goal of the progressive left: a single-payer system.
Now that the Obama administration has rolled out its self-proclaimed “single greatest achievement,” some hard facts are finally becoming known about costs and sign-up counts, even as the government fights tooth and nail to prevent such disclosures. And for good reason: Medicaid enrollment is soaring, and new paid policies are almost nonexistent.
Financially, Obama looks to be much worse than a train wreck, but progressives don’t really care about money. It’s all about the ideology and getting everyone over that bridge.
