Here I am sitting once again at my desk and allowing my mind to wander this way and that. Gradually, I have come to the realization that once Obamacare fully kicks in we will likely perceive some pretty dramatic changes involving our medical services. Nothing will be as we currently know it. Since our federal government will at that time assume control of all the costs and become the final approving authority for what medical procedures are acceptable for the insurance company we will witness a vast number of private medical care facilities popping up around the country. Given that these are in fact private enterprises it only stands to reason that more of these facilities will open their doors to members only. This creates a serious hazard for the public in several ways.
You may ask how that will affect the medical services being offered. It is important to realize also that these private care facilities are just that - they are private. In no way can the government demand that they provide medical care for the common folks or to anyone that merely knocks on that door. The personnel may feel a certain moral obligation but there certainly would be no legal basis to help.
Let me briefly explain what will happen here. If you have a medical emergency and you are taken to a private medical care facility they are under no obligation to treat you. Private concerns will not be under any obligation to treat anyone who may not be a card-carrying member of their group.
Secondly, our country will experience a medical brain drain such as has occurred in other socialized medical nations. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that the more competent of the professionals well readily accept positions with these private concerns where they are able to make a successful and lucrative living. The public sector will be left with those personnel that are less than proficient and often questionable at best.
It doesn't sound very enticing at all does it? However, we have to remember when our government gets involved in any activities which are not their concern the results are usually not very appealing and always leaves an unpleasant taste in our mouths. I just wanted to bring those thoughts to the table for further consideration as I see it coming as soon as next year. What are your thoughts on this?
