Obamacare written to deceive the public.

[Esquilax]

Obamacare is a disaster because it did not increase the amount of healthcare and creates a situation whereby people do not have as much of an incentive to produce more healthcare.

So, is there just like a big valve in the white house labelled "healthcare" that Obama is personally keeping sealed shut, in your mind? Or should we acknowledge that "healthcare" as a thing comes as a result of people entering the field, which is something the government has very little control over?

For medicare and medicaid patients the government sets the price of medical care arbitrarily low so doctors won't want to take on these patients. The only doctors that will in significant numbers will be those that work for large practices. Your typical family doctor who is a sole practitioner is going to be a thing of the past.

... So? I don't subscribe to the same mindless traditionalism that you appear to; the "typical family doctor" isn't necessarily a good thing just because it was a thing in the past. Stop assuming your own goddamn conclusions and justify them.

Last, I believe our government could...if it set its mind to it...recruit and train up 100,000 doctors in 10 years.

And I assume they're just going to clone these doctors in big vats? They can't just force people into these jobs, and even if they just incentivised them you'd just sit there complaining about how unfair it is for Obama to focus so heavily on the medical field.

Besides, your "solution" here- if one could call it a solution rather than, say, a vague, lofty assertion based on nothing- is just one big bonus for you, isn't it? Even if they did exactly as you suggest, you get ten whole years to endlessly complain about how we don't have 100,000 doctors yet, before you shift the goalposts once we do!

Making healthcare affordable is simple. Flood the market with healthcare and prices will drop.

Yeah, Obama! Just turn the healthcare valve! Let some of that healthcare you're hoarding out for the common man! It's so simple!
