Obama's Health Plan

Here is the New York Times piece on it.

Socialist idiiots will think its a great idea because they don't understand economics. I never thought National Health Insurance would happen but its looking more and more likely now.

Doctors and Hospitals... get ready to have your pay cut by 30%.

Here's my prediction of the order of events.

1. Obama's plan passes.
2. We go a couple years side by side and more and more companies move to the National program because its cheaper.
3. Most Health Insurers go out of business. Only those that offer premium services and premium prices (IE only PAC, SU and Creekster can afford) are left.
4. Some doctors decide only to accept cash or premium insurance leaving a logjam for those who can't afford the premium services
5. Even if the government doesnt change their current price structure for Medicare its still 30% Less than what hospitals get from BCBS or Humana. With more people on the plan they spend need to spend more to keep the structure secure.
6. Our 1.9% tax for Medicare double or triples to meet the new demand for services
7. To cut costs the government starts to ration health care like in Canada
8. Incentive for New procedures and drugs are cut so medical tech progress is stifled.
9. People get used to the "right" to government subsidized health care and will not change systems without being fear mongered by socialist idiots.

That gives me a pit in my stomach. I hope Ayn Rand comes back from the dead and haunts Obama

I am probably a socialist idiot--what do you think of Romney's health care plan in MA? Do you think it would/could work nationwide? I think it sounds so nice. My friend moved here from MA and really liked it there. She said they were still working out the bugs but it seemed to be working. I don't know if it could be a nationwide thing and I don't know how it all works really. I think Romney probably has some good ideas for economy and healthcare, but like I said, I don't know the ins and outs of his plan in MA.
