Could Obamacare Become A Blessing in Disguise By Destroying the Concept of "Health Insurance"?

I understand that the Obamarhoids want to take over everything starting with medicine and it's all about galloping Fascism....BUT

I'm wondering if the Obamacare disaster of EPIC proportions might do something unexpected and perhaps wonderful.....destroy the concept of private insurance and and insurance companies?

Probably the main thing that has been driving up the cost of health care (and also imposing a lot of unnecessary paperwork and rules on medical people) has been INSURANCE COMPANIES. And what service do they actually provide? None really - no medical function. They just siphon off countless tons of money to create more bloated exec payrolls and gigantic edifices in every city. Maybe they need to....go away....permanently.

Insurance is like a type of credit card....it's about fake money going to buy things that we really don't have, and it's what's enabled hospitals to create these vast medical centers that are unbelievably expensive...but yet really don't provide efficient or well thought out medical care. Believe me, for family reasons, we have seen tons of hospitals in the past few years (and related medical facilities) and many of them - and their doctors - STINK. They do a lot of tests and give out a lot of pills....but many of them really don't know what they're doing and patients are just shuttled back and forth between one overworked doc or nurse who doesn't know them to another.

I've actually SEEN the death panels in ACTION in the nursing homes (Palin was right about that except that they exist NOW) and we've had to fight them. Often they think someone would be better off dead than struggling to survive....even if they really WANT to.

Now when I was a kid, people paid the doctors and hospitals directly....out of pocket or on a payment plan. Doctors actually came to the house....to see ME as a sick child. I'm not even 60 yet so it's not that long ago.

Considering how HIGH the insurance premiums are going for so many people....maybe we need to end the insurance model of care....keep those premiums in pocket...and once again....go back to paying doctors and hospitals out of pocket or in installments. Maybe except for extraordinary cases that cost a fortune that might be publicly insured, but that should be the minority.

Yes, that would mean lower salaries for doctors and staff and hopefully executives (many of whom should just be run out of medicine as they're useless), and that hospitals would have to cut back. But considering the vast waste in medicine....maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing.

If you saved your insurance premiums for a year....how much would you be able to pay your doctor in cash?

So maybe Obamacare might work in an unintended way....to bring us back to an older and better system of payment and patient care....something more direct, more intimate and more efficient. It might not be a bad thing, after all.

Of course....word to the wise - don't ever sign up for Obamacare.
