So the Democrats want a universal health care
system. I bet they have no clue as to
what that entails. They are following in the footsteps of a Third-World country like Venezuela. Here is a quote from an Associated Press
article:
Gonzalez is on a list of 31 breast cancer patients
waiting to have tumors removed at one of Venezuela's biggest medical
facilities, Maracay's Central Hospital. But like legions of the sick across the
country, she's been neglected by a health care system doctors say is collapsing
after years of deterioration.
Doctors at the hospital sent home 300 cancer patients
last month when supply shortages and overtaxed equipment made it impossible for
them to perform non-emergency surgeries.
Driving the crisis in health care are the same forces
that have left Venezuelans scrambling to find toilet paper, milk and automobile
parts. Economists blame government mismanagement and currency controls set by
the late President Hugo Chavez for inflation pushing 50 percent annually. The
government controls the dollars needed to buy medical supplies and has simply
not made enough available.
The federal government is already monetizing our
debt. Obamacare overtaxed medical
equipment which could lead to the same problems as Venezuela. And now there are discussions of cost/price controls. Some Democrats have stated they want to turn
doctors into serfs. That would lead to a
shortage of medical experts, which means we have to import Third-Worlders whose
culture is hostile to Western Civilization.
Hell, Venezuela had to hire Cubans.
The country's 1999 constitution guarantees free universal
health care to Venezuelans, who sit on the world's largest proven oil reserves.
President Nicolas Maduro's government insists it's complying. Yet of the
country's 100 fully functioning public hospitals, nine in 10 have just 7
percent of the supplies they need, Natera said.
The other nearly 200 public hospitals that existed when
Chavez took office were largely replaced by a system of walk-in clinics run by
Cuban doctors that have won praise for delivering preventative care to the
neediest but do not treat serious illnesses.
Wasn’t one of the mandates for Obamacare preventive care? Yeah, I thought so.
