"The Government Plan" and the End of American Medicine As We Know It
Topics: Political News and commentariesHugh Hewitt on the the radical restructuring of American medicine by the Obama administration and why the time is short for doctors (and the rest of us) to demand a stop to the "government option." (emphasis mine):
[...] there hasn't been any "debate" to date, just a giant head-fake that kept the GOP, doctors, hospitals and insurance companies frozen while the Obama/Pelosi/Reid march towards a "government option" (which means single payer which means rationing and interference with a patient's choice of doctors and care) was positioned for a summer jam down.More ...
The Times also provides an overview of what a "government option" means, and it means skyrocketing costs at the start and an almost certain takeover of the entire world of medicine very quickly thereafter.
