A car for everyone...

Imagine that our government decided that everyone was entitled to transportation.   That they passed a law that said everyone must have a car and every car dealer must sell everyone a car at the same price, but give away their cars to anyone that couldn't afford to buy one.   In addition, heavy excise taxes were levied on tires and gasoline (bringing the price of tires to over $2,000 each and gasoline at over $150 a gallon) to pay for the free cars.
I forgot to mention that all cars sold by dealers or private parties had to come without tires.
Eventually, most car dealerships would close down because they had to give away more cars than they sold.   Since the upkeep (cost of tires and gasoline) became prohibitive, most cars would sit idle and finally rot away.   And so, the original intent of making transportation available to all would actually make car ownership available to very few.

ObamaCare is a similar situation.   Since everyone must have health insurance and those that can't afford it, get it for free.   And, since insurance companies must insure everyone, regardless of their medical condition(s).   And, since employers must provide insurance for all full time employees.
And, since reimbursement to doctors will be reduced to "control" medical costs.
The consequences are catastrophic...
(1) The cost of health insurance will go up in order to cover the people that are insured for free, as well as the cost to the insurance companies for those with expensive pre-conditions.
(2) Doctors, seeing that their income will be reduced, are already leaving the profession.  Most doctors are no longer accepting new patients or those with Medicare.   Try to find a "family doctor" in your area that will accept you as a new patient... lottsa luck.
(3) Since the cost of insurance will become so high that more and more people will not be able to afford it, the gov't. will have to subsidize this cost (thus adding over a trillion dollars a year to the budget, breaking the country).
(4) Employers are already putting more and more of their full time employees on part time status to avoid having to pay for this higher priced insurance.   And, now we have employees with less income (paying less tax) that are unable to afford to buy their own insurance.

BOTTOM LINE

Fewer doctors available for more patients.   You'll have to "reserve" an appointment months in advance.   Emergency rooms and clinics will become overwhelmed and unable to give the best care.
The middle class will have their income reduced enough to put some of them below the poverty level.
The additional cost to the gov't. will become a major part of the budget, causing even more debt.
All told; everyone loses and only the Socialists win.   Nancy Pelosi said "Just sign it, you can read it later..."; and your incompetent representatives followed Harry Reid and ignored your protests.
Worse yet, you re-elected those that ignored you.
What does it take for you to revolt against a gov't. that's screwing you, not only with Obama Care but in ways that you're never told about until it's too late ???
