Obama-Care Definitions

DOCTORS: A profession that used to exist to deliver medical care for profit. But personal injury lawyers make colossal incomes (much of which they generously contribute to the Democratic Party.) As a result doctors have to pay vast sums for malpractice insurance. And under Obama bureaucrats oversee and determine the pay for doctors (but not lawyers) to save money. The expense for medical education keeps going up while doctors get more and more work for less and less pay. So lawyers become the privileged and unregulated American class and more and more all the bright people become lawyers instead of doctors.

SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND A fund that is supposed to contain the proceeds from your social security taxes, but doesn't because Congress has regularly "borrowed" vast sums from it. NOTE: This is not Obama’s fault. These thefts started before Obama was born, making a bad joke of the theory on which social security is based which is that people pay social security taxes all their lives and then get paid back at the end of their lives.

"SOCIAL SECURITY IS BROKE" A typical Obama "truth," i.e., half-truth intended to deceive. You would be broke too if someone borrowed all your money and never even paid interest, much less repaid the loan.

DEATH PANELS Regardless of what Obama calls them, this is the accurate name for the panels of bureaucrats appointed to save money for a vastly expensive system by deciding whether in each individual case medicines and services needed to keep an elderly person alive are wastefully expensive – which they always are given that the elderly pay few taxes and need expensive care.

This is, incidentally, what Obama meant in inquiring why pay to provide an old person a pacemaker when it is so much cheaper to just prescribe pain-killers (until they die).

"WAIT YOUR TURN" A system successfully pioneered under Obama-style medical care in England and Canada as a disguised alternative or supplement to Death Panels. Everyone is placed in: 1) a one year long line to see a doctor, then 2) another one year long line to see a specialist to confirm the doctor's diagnosis; and then 3) a final one year long line to get the indicated medicines and care. Result: Death Panels are generally unnecessary because the lines provide a "final solution" to the elderly problem.
