Since this is the start of the weekend, no new scandals erupted this morning involving the administration. But there were three interesting items from Breitbart on-line, via Drudge.
A study by Dr. Candice Chen, assistant research professor of the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services shows that, “Despite a shortage of U.S. primary care doctors, less than 25 percent of new doctors go into this field, and fewer still work in rural areas. Only 4.8 percent set up shop in rural areas.”
This is not really news, having been known for some time. But the study confirms that ramifications of Obamacare dissuade primary care physicians by curbing income potential, thereby diminishing the availability of medical care, in some areas removing access to professional help altogether.
At the same time, another article headed “Doctors dump health insurance plans, charge patients less,” claims that, “A Kansas physician says he makes the same income and offers better quality care to his patients after he dumped all health insurance companies.”
A thirty-two-year old family physician, Doug Nunamaker, said “After five years of dealing with the red tape of health insurance companies and the high overhead for the staff he hired just to deal with paperwork, he switched to a system of charging his patients a monthly fee plus the price of an office visit or test."
I mention these situations because they‘re two more indications of easily predictable results when government interferes with subjects they know absolutely nothing about and attempts to socialize a formerly free market. And, I believe, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The new health care tax has yet to really take hold, and has already developed more holes than stories told by Attorney General Holder. Which demonstrates that folks in the medical field aren’t just sitting around waiting for legislation to ruin their incomes, lives and careers.
And therefore, looking at the two sides of the healthcare issue, on one you have highly trained physicians, medical personnel and those associated with them. On the other you have bureaucrats and politicians. So, this really isn’t even a contest at all, and only a matter of time until the administration looks around, scratches its head, and asks where their health care tax went. Because, pretty soon, they won’t be able to find it anywhere.
In the meanwhile, however, the incumbent’s doing what he does best. Leaving the nation’s problems behind and taking a taxpayer financed trip with his family.
He’s going to Northern Ireland for the G8 summit, but his wife and daughters are going to tour Dublin's Trinity College. Then they’ll all reunite during a visit to Berlin on Tuesday and Wednesday.
So, I guess its good to know that while the nation’s debt hits $17 trillion and the government's totally out of control, that the nation’s “leader” isn’t too concerned at all.
And, in fact, as the number of scandals grows, each time he’s asked about any or all, he claims they’re all news to him. Which is why, when you think it through, it really doesn’t matter what country he’s in whereas absolutely nothing that happens in the U.S. is of any concern, or has anything to do with him.
That’s it for today folks.
Adios
