Obamacare's other consequences

Rationed care, the long lines, the inefficiencies, the lack of choice, the shorter life expectancies, are just some of the delights that a nationalized healthcare has to offer.

1. The one consequence that even diehard liberals have not realized is the amount of control the government will have on your daily life. If you are overweight, and thus more likely to have health problems, perhaps the government will tell you what you can and cannot eat. Maybe they will require you to go to mandatory fat camps or you will have to show an ID at McDonalds allowing you to have a hamburger. After all, it's quite unfair that due to your poor eating habits, you are using more resources than others.



2. The budget for healthcare will compete with the budget for everything else. Every dollar that is spent on healthcare is a dollar that cannot be spent on anything else. Since many of the other government budgets are static, there will be a lot of incentive to cut proceedures in healthcare to free up money for whatever the poltiicans desire.
