The Good Unintended Consequences Of Obamacare

Clearly, something is happening in the USA. But not for the reasons Democrats necessarily wanted. Most essays and opinions I've read - from both liberals and conservatives - seem to conclude Obamacare will achieve little except for increasing costs, paper work and taxes.

It's why it's getting so much resistance. Everyone acknowledged the system needed reform but not in the image of Obamacare. Coercion is never a good idea.

It just blows my mind in this day and age how this sort of reasoning is lost. Government or public health has become such a politicized bizarre mix of emotions and nationalism, it's no wonder it is obscenely gouging people.

That everyone is covered does not justify charging 5 times the price.

I see it developing before my eyes in daycare (and I will post about this later), ever since the government got involved, the cost to running the show is in excess of $2 billion! It doesn't have to be that way. Where I can offer an equal or even superior service on the private side at a more sane cost and price, the government purely spends and wastes.

I charge $40. My costs are around $33. The government offers tax credits on a monthly basis anywhere between 10-75% depending on family income. The public option charges $7. It costs them $53 to run. Guess who is picking up the tab on the $46 dollar deficit.

Who's fricken more efficient to society? What is cheaper in reality to parents?

Think. Think. Think!

All this sort of stuff you see amounts to ideological computations. Nothing more, nothing less.

In both daycare and health the main issue is labor costs and pricing. Around 3 minutes the video delves into this.

Could you imagine how much wealth health has eroded Canadians over the years? Nobody seems interested or willing to critical assess these issues.

Waaaayyyyy too many bureaucrats are in the way of offering timely and efficient services at affordable prices.

It's so elementary I can't understand how people tolerate this nonsense.

Yeah. God bless the Americans. Where the West has shriveled up and rolled over into the aphrodisiac known as the state, the U.S. is still fighting to keep true liberal impulses alive by seeking practical and innovative solutions to problems.

It's funny. Back in the day of working at FPC, we'd sit around thinking up ideas to better improve health services. One of those was to display a price list to patients.

I can only help this sanity comes to Canada more and more.

I know. I'm the extremist.
