In the Comments section of a post by Smitty, over at The Other McCain, on the wreckage that is already piling-up as a result of the government takeover of control of our Health Care System, commentator Cube remarks:
As long as it’s only the little people who suffer, what’s the problem? The important, politically connected people made lots of money off Obamacare and the foolish supporters got to feel good about themselves without having to actually do anything useful. Let this disaster start hurting the connected crowd and their enablers, then watch how fast they change their tune.
But that won’t happen.
One of the things very few people have mentioned is how government-controlled access to health care will play out.
It will play out just like everything else in the corrupt world of politics plays out: with the politically connected getting the best care and the rest of us suffering.
Connections will be like insurance used to be: the gateway to receiving quality health care.
While the number of high-quality medical facilities will decrease, a few will still survive and continue to provide excellent care and breakthrough research. These blessed institutions will be taken care of by the politicians and their bureaucratic minions and by the wealthy Elites. But don’t plan on ever seeing the inside of one if you aren’t part of the Mastermind Class.
Back in the days of Imperial Rome, Emperors would often demand that their subjects proclaim, ‘We exist only to serve Caesar’. That is what will be demanded of those of us who are not part of the Mastermind Class. The Unproductive Class will, of course, be more than glad to thus declare, but what about those of us in the Productive Class?
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row
