The Medical Government Housing Project

How would you like to be told, "we're moving you from your home to a public housing project?"  Outrage?  Fear?  Rebellion?  Panic?

Well one of the provisions of ObamaCare is the creation of medical "housing projects" that are designed just for you.  Get Ready for Your Health Care ‘Re-Education’

Liberal media outlets like National Public Radio are now trumpeting the supposed virtues of the “medical home,” where primary care doctors and specialists theoretically coordinate their expertise to provide comprehensive, integrated care for patients. Even the phrase “medical home” has a warm-and-fuzzy feel. But under ObamaCare, “medical homes” will instead likely be used to control costs by using primary care doctors as gatekeepers to restrict access to expensive tests such as MRI scans, or to specialists such as cardiologists and orthopedic surgeons.

Patients will be herded into these new “medical home” plans under ObamaCare laws, which will start limiting employers’ ability to continue offering their current health plans.

Similarly, the government will nudge doctors into working for “medical homes” via a combination of financial rewards and penalties. Once there, the government will specify how doctors must practice and what “quality” measures they must meet in order to get paid.

Hence, under ObamaCare “medical homes” will be more like “medical government housing projects.”

Don't want to move? Like where you are? Our community-organizer-in-chief, our affirmative action president, says "tough." That's how we're going to run your lives. Deal with it!

In November, vote as if your life depended on it ... because it does.
