This is Only the Beginning

Investor Business Daily has a marvelously excoriating piece of commentary and research on the soon-to-be impact of the FacistCare passed into law on 3/21.

A few of the nuggets of gold here, but the whole article is well worth reading and sharing.

You must buy a policy that covers ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment; prescription drugs; rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices; laboratory services; preventive and wellness services; chronic disease management; and pediatric services, including oral and vision care.
You're a single guy without children? Tough, your policy must cover pediatric services. You're a woman who can't have children? Tough, your policy must cover maternity services. You're a teetotaler? Tough, your policy must cover substance abuse treatment. (Add your own violation of personal freedom here.) (Section 1302).

13. If you are a physician owner and you want to expand your hospital? Well, you can't (Section 6001 (i) (1) (B).

Think you, as a pharmaceutical executive, know how to better use that money, say for research and development? Tough. (Section 9008 (b))"

The best part?

When taxes are raised on the industries we pay for health care, who is that passed on to?

Where does that money for the government come from?

Taxpayers, the little guy, us, ect.

So the price goes up for Americans on both ends, and the government has yet another civilization decaying arm to tattoo with the destroyed wealth of Americans.
