Recently it was reported that there will be one approved pediatrician for 256,000 children in some areas of the country and that an oncologist will receive $6.50 for a one to 1.5 hour interview that discusses the cancer test results with a patient under Obamacare. How many patients do you suppose an oncologist will be willing to see for $6.50 per hour?

All the top cancer hospitals in the U.S. have refused to participate in Obamacare as have the highly rated oncologists. Those with cancer and other serious diseases are being referred to large regional hospitals instead of local hospitals. If they lack the funds for travel they will not get the lifesaving treatments. Medications desperately needed by those with acute and chronic illness will either not be available under Obamacare or have an exorbitant cost.

Obviously, common folks with cancer, serious health problems and little children will not get the medical care they need and will perish. And this is just the tip of the iceberg as cancer, HIV/AIDS, and other medical research funding is being canceled in a deal between Obamacare and the insurance industry.

Wikipedia lists the definition of mass murder as the intentional and indiscriminate killing of a large number of people by government agents. Republicans and medical experts warned the Democrats when they were debating Obamacare with themselves that they were killing the best medical delivery system in the world and we would have long waits for medical procedures that would result in deaths. Obama and his cohorts refused to listen to the medical experts.

When Obamacare kicks in we will start to experience large numbers of deaths of innocent children, the elderly, and those afflicted with various serious medical conditions through lack of proper care. These deaths will occur just as surely as if Obama put a gun to their heads and pulled the trigger. In my opinion, this “final solution” (as Hitler termed it) is the Democrats’ answer to providing health insurance to the estimated uninsured 17 million to 40 million out of 300-plus million. Remember, for decades everyone living in the U.S. was entitled to basic health care even if they lacked insurance.

Obama, Democrat representatives, Democrat senators, and those who elected them are going to go down in history as wealth redistributionists of the worst kind, saving scarce medical resources for the 1 percent, which includes the ruling elite.

The solution is to cast Obamacare onto the trash heap of history and infuse our health-care delivery system with capitalism through the use of health savings accounts and nationwide health insurance portability. These ideas have been championed by Republicans for years but blocked by Democrats. Did you really vote for this mess?
