Sneaking out like the typical Friday afternoon farts do in Washington, news came that hospitals are considering paying the insurance premiums of in-house patients who can't afford to pay them. Here's the rub: the whole premise of ObamaCare was that there are these millions of uninsured Americans who end up in hospitals and don't, or can't pay their bills. The supposition is that the hospital raises its rates to cover those unpaid expenses and those costs end up being passed on to the public. So, the story went, ObamaCare will make sure everybody has insurance so that problem will end.
Well, what's the difference if the hospital pays the insurance premiums? They're still going to jack up their rates. Plus, the insurance companies will boost their premiums because they have to pay out more. So, we'll still and up paying for those who can't, or won't pay their insurance premiums.
The whole premise... the whole reason that Obama based his magnanimous health care plan on was to get the uninsured insured. Well, that's anther lie. You see, ObamaCare is really designed to accomplish two things: (1) give the government total control over your health, thereby making you subservient to them, and (2) seizing control of the billions of dollars spent on health care every year. That's all it's about, pure and simple.
It's all a sham, a flimflam, one big lie... and we're to blame for not unceremoniously shoving it straight back up Obama's rear end, where it truly belongs.
