Obamacare B-Day

[Gipper]

By RON JOHNSON

Today is the first anniversary of the greatest single assault on our freedom in my lifetime: the signing of ObamaCare. As we consider what this law may do to our country, I can't help but reflect on a medical miracle made possible by the American health-care system. It's one that holds special meaning for me.

Take cancer as one example. Compared to the U.S., breast cancer mortality is 9% higher in Canada (according to the government statistics of each country), 52% higher in Germany and 88% higher in the United Kingdom (according to studies published in Lancet Oncology). Prostate cancer mortality is 604% higher in Britain.

Those in need of timely care from specialists are better off in the U.S. Drawing on several peer-reviewed studies, Dr. Scott Atlas of the Stanford University Medical Center notes that patients who need knee and hip replacement, cataract surgery, and radiation treatment wait months longer in the United Kingdom and Canada than in the United States.

The plain truth is that the American system is better at rewarding innovation and responding to consumer needs. But the history of government-led care is there for all to see. Are we doomed to repeat it?

I am convinced that ObamaCare was designed to lead to a government takeover of our entire health-care system, which is one-sixth of our economy.

Ron Johnson is a R Senator from Wisconsin.

And he is so right. We are so screwed thanks to liberalism. Liberalism has screwed up so much of our once great nation and the last nail in our coffin is the sh*tty Obamacare.

Typical left wing tripe. If the poor are not getting HC, how come your beloved left wing media isn't citing examples of this? How come we seldom hear of the poor dying in the streets because they can't get care? Wake up!

You Lefties are so wrapped up in your hatred of the rich, that it blinds you to reality.

So, your solution is Obamacare, which ultimately will lead to socialized medicine. And, when we get socialized medicine only the ultra rich and the elitist politicians will get good HC. That is the left's solution. Good job.

Most foolish.
