Failed Healthcare Fix:  Obamacare

Over the years, our government has used various remedies they said would “fix” healthcare. Have they worked? Let’s compare their promises to our reality, starting with the latest and greatest–the Affordable Care Act, Obamacare.

Obamacare — Promise Versus Reality

OBAMA '15

The Face of Broken Promises

Reality:

After Obamacare was signed, the President changed his promise to affordable insurance, not care.

The cost of insurance is much higher; it could even double for some.

There are fewer uninsured Americans. Most of the increase was achieved through expansion of “free” Medicaid insurance.

Obamacare will cost $2.6 trillion dollars. This is new spending.

Promise:

To make care more affordable

To make insurance more affordable

Reduce the number of uninsured

Reduce U.S. spending on healthcare

To make care more available

The shortage of doctors is getting worse.

Details and proof of these statements are available in Chapter 9 of Dr. Waldman's new book “The Cancer in the American Healthcare System.”

Some call it Single Payer, but what they are really talking about is government control of healthcare. Is government healthcare a fix that “fixes” or a fix that fails?

 

Dr. Waldman's new
eye-opening book lays bare the disaster that has befallen both patients and doctors over the last 50 years due to government and administrative involvement into health care. Today close to 50% of healthcare spending goes NOT to doctors to pay for care, but to administrators who manage the miles of red tape introduced by ever increasing number of government regulations.
