I made a comment on CNN's website about the VA failing to provide care for veterans and how I see that as a vision of things to come under Obamacare. A response came back telling me I was a Tea Party ignoramus because the VA is a PROVIDER and Obamacare is an INSURANCE PLAN.
I felt the distinction was negligible. If you cut off my finger with poultry shears or a hedge clipper really makes no fundamental difference. I responded to his response and it disappeared the next day. I posted the following response this morning and will preserve it here so I can keep posting it every time CNN sees fit to delete my dissent:
"The plan you have under Obamacare is only as good as the actual care you can get. You can have total, comprehensive coverage of every possible condition and have it at no cost but, if your provider can't actually give you the care your plan authorizes then it is a worthless plan. A waiting room full of people with Obamacare Gold Plans, all being told they can't get the care they signed up for... "But I have it covered under my Gold Plan doctor!" "Yeah. You and everyone else here. We still only have the one dialysis machine so go sit down and wait your turn. Oh! And try not to die before we can get to you.." That is what makes the VA failure and Obamacare THE SAME THING you socialist, collectivist, parasitic ignoramus."
Obamacare does not create more jelly. It just offers up more bread and expects you to cover it with the jelly you have. As the care available gets stretched thin to cover more people... rationing is the only possible outcome. Oh... I forgot about denial... That might be one outcome as well. "Everything is fine. The VA is fine. Medicaid is fine. Blue Cross/Blue Shield is fine. Nothing to see here. Move along. Those people are not dead. they're sleeping."
