Healthcare — New Risks

I promised to be as apolitical as possible, but there are some issues that are truly serious that people are clearly concerned about, but not being concerned enough.  This isn’t a missive about what party does or did what, or what is and is not a good idea.

But is is going to be a public record where, perhaps for the first time in my life, I’m actually saying “I told you so”.  The new Affordable Care Act, regardless of what positives it may bring, has been fraught with problems and the political engines of all parties is making it into a debacle.  And into one that a lot of people will not come out on the other side of well.  Those people are you, me, our neighbors, our families and our friends.

My biggest issue is the hypocrisy of our leaders who promise one thing and contradict it with their actions.  Those actions, which are resulting in people who did have insurance suddenly finding out they can’t afford it, or worse, are dropped.  These number are already documented into the 100,000-plus category.  This is not a positive move.

So, just for some of your reading pleasure, with more to be added:

This is just a taste of the news that’s in the open through legitimate news sources.  If  you’re not concerned, you should be.  Each of us may be just fine with what we have.  But isn’t the whole point to also watch out for our neighbors?  Well, we need to watch out for them in this case too.  Problems with the system must be fixed, or scrapped.  Either way, though, when there is damage being caused, that damage may already be done.
