Shocker: Obama's Healthcare Rules Could Shut Down Catholic Hospitals Nationwide
Topics: Political News and commentaries
In our brief post yesterday titled "The White House, two incumbent Pennsylvania congressmen, three Catholic hospitals and a nun" we noted that if doctors are right, the proposed sale of the three Mercy hospitals becomes a harbinger of what will happen nationally as a result of ObamaCare slowly tightening its government tentacles over the private health care system. Today, Warner Todd Huston has more on the story, and how, as the realities of the strict, anti-religious qualities of Obamacare sets in and dawns on people and as the government begins to crack down on religious organizations forcing them to obviate their consciences - the eventual result will be the end of religious-based healthcare institutions nationwide:
Some of Obamacare's most destructive forces are quickly becoming common knowledge. We have, for instance, become painfully aware that Obama's claim that we all could keep our plans and doctors "if you like them" is an outright falsehood as some people are already losing their coverage. It is also becoming clear that companies will be dropping plans all over the place making a lie of the idea that plans will be cheaper and easier to get once Obamacre comes into force. Another aspect of the destructive nature of this top down-style of "healthcare" is that once government takes over the system Democrats will assume they have the power to force religious-based healthcare providers to perform abortions and this will cause thousands of facilities to close down. This will, of course, make care even harder to get in many cities across the nation as hospital beds are lost in great numbers.More here ...
Unintended consequences, or political agenda? After reading Huston's entire piece, one gets the feeling that what is happening is clearly no accident.
