Obama Health Care - Congress elites get better plan
Which may be why they are supporting worse care than we now enjoy for the proletariat common folk:
Why Is Government Health Insurance Good Only For SomeSubmitted by Elizabeth Lee Vliet MD on Jul 14th, 2009
On June 24, President Obama admitted that he and his family would not participate in the government regulated health insurance plan being proposed for all the rest of us. Members of Congress would also be exempted from the "public plan" they think is "good enough" for the rest of us. If it is so good for the American people, why do our elected officials want to exempt themselves? Wake up, everyone. Pay attention, here. Your life and health may be at stake.
We do need to revamp our health insurance to make private insurance more affordable, more accessible, and portable - not tied to a job. But "revamping" should not mean throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
It is a fantasy that government-run healthcare is better overseas. It is a fact that Canadian, British, and European government-run health systems delay access and ration treatment. Government-run health systems around the world always cut costs by rationing, by limiting access to cutting-edge diagnostic services and by decreasing coverage of the newest medications.
Government-run systems spend less by denying services and using age cut-offs to avoid paying the bill for the elderly. Yet "CanadaCare" is exactly the model that Washington bureaucrats are proposing for all of us, except the President and Members of Congress.
