Insurance or Access?

I've been horrified and speechless at times about the imminent destruction of our health care system which will be precipitated by the "Patient Protection and Affordable Care" act. Proponents of this bill-become-law will not understand the true implications of this unconstitutional take-over of the US health care system until they are encountered with a 3-month-wait for basic health services or are denied care because of rationing.

Is our current system perfect?...NO, but it's still one of the best systems in the world. And EVERYONE does have access! Yes, that is correct--EVERYONE has access! The difference is this: some receive a bill in their mailboxes and others' bills are sent through an insurance company. But...EVERYONE is able to walk into a hospital and get care!

Our Veterans are familiar with the VA system. In VA hospitals, it is not uncommon to have to show up early in the morning and stand in long lines in hopes of getting to see a doctor. It is not uncommon for benefits to be denied. In fact, my father waited for 3 weeks to have major heart surgery, because they didn't have time, a doctor, or a room for him. He was in critical need of the surgery, following a major heart attack, but was mired in bureaucracy for 21 days!

The full effects of this health care law will not be felt for several years. I hope and pray it is somehow repealed, before people learn the hard way!

Entitlements will destroy this country and our health care system!
