A while back, I wrote about the dangers of Obamacare as it relates to patient rights – a set of guarantees, if you will, the medical profession recognizes all individuals receiving medical care possess. Obamacare basically strips those rights on multiple levels. Some individuals believe the same, some do not.
As a reminder, Obamacare does not guarantee any type of health care whatsoever. Obamacare only mandates that everyone purchase healthcare insurance. Having healthcare insurance does not guarantee receipt of healthcare services nor does it guarantee payment for services.
Do you know what is in Obamacare? I certainly don't except for bits and pieces that have been leaked out over the years. Does Congress know what is in Obamacare? I doubt that, since that piece of legislation was not read before it was passed and probably hasn't been read in its entirety since all the additions were made. The regulations for this abomination are tens of thousands of pages.
So, what exactly is Obamacare supposed to do for this country?
Answer this question first. Then watch this video, Obamacare Deconstructed.
Now, you tell me what this legislation is designed to do.
