I read this the other day by Dan Bongino. This is a good thread to post it in.
Dan Bongino on People Running for Office | Southern Maryland News Net
Why people running for office should experience the real world.
So I wake up this morning with my right ring finger injured from a prior incident. A granuloma developed and would not stop bleeding over night, and I lost a lot of blood.
With the injury still bleeding I called a number of general surgeons and dermatologists seeking an appointment to have it cauterized, none of which had any availability. Still bleeding.
Off to the emergency room, where I waited and was sent home with a gel to stop the bleeding. It worked for about 30 minutes. Still bleeding.
I bring this up because I am still sitting here bleeding and all of these problems with our healthcare delivery system will be exacerbated with the onset of #Obamacare.
With government enforced price controls via IPAB the price signals which would, in a market system encourage more doctors to enter the specialty, are broken and encouraging scarcity of service.
Emergency rooms will become even more crowded as people who cannot get an appointment with a specialist will, out of desperation, seek treatment in the emergency room.
Both of the above factors will encourage decreased doctor supply, increased patient demand, quality problems and the growth of both healthcare black markets and boutique, cash-only medicine, ironically hurting the poorest among us.
Our healthcare system is broken, unlike every other service arena (legal, consulting, etc.) because the insertion of a carefree government bureaucracy between patients and their doctors is destroying the necessary signals to improve quality and drive down costs.
Many of our “Let them eat cake” political aristocrats should leave the crystal palaces they inhabit sometime and live in the real world where I live. I want to fix this because I suffer from it’s failures. How many DC aristocrats can say that? If there was ever a time for a change it is now.
Still bleeding.
