Health Care Reform Will Stop Rationing, Not Increase It

Kavita Patel, who works with Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett and who worked for years before as a physician, debunks the myth that reform will mean a "government takeover" of health care or lead to "rationing." To the contrary, reform will forbid many forms of rationing that are currently being used by insurance companies.

"If you like what you have you can keep it." That'll be pretty hard when private insurance companies are competing with the public option. Businesses won't go out on a limb to provide private insurance to workers, they'll use the public option. It's obvious that private insurance companies will be run out of business if "Obamacare" passes.

Exhibit 2. The FDA. The increased requirement for approval has doubled the time necessary to develop new pharmaceuticals. (Pharmaceuticals reduce health care cost because they replace more expensive options).Not only is 80% of a new drugs cost derives from from regulatory requirements, the lower innovation and over caution has killed at least 4 million people in the last 40 years.

As for government interference in health care. Exhibit one the AMA and their lobbying to government licensee. The result was an arrangement in which doctors are limited in what methods can provide services. A general restriction on the number of doctors (driving up prices). And requiring a level of skill for routine procedures that is not actually necessary which forces the poor to chose from high quality +price preventative care or none at all.

Right Obama is on record for his desire to create a single payer system though incremental measures.

If you like what you have you can keep it. What she fails to say "so long as Washington finds it acceptable otherwise taxes will be assessed against you as if you were not insured at all."

[TheFalseOswalds]

I agree.
