Aging baby boomers and more people having access to health care are the primary reasons.

Check out just a couple of pages verifying this.

The flag folding skills come in handy...... if you come back in one piece. It's easy to tech them cool little napkin tricks when they set the tables for those in the medical profession.

We have an aging, obese, or both population - of course there is going to be higher demand for health care.

All ObamaCare does is divert massive quantities of health care spending into an overlord federal bureaucracy at the expense of direct patient care.

I thought it just made people buy insurance from private companies?

They why does it require huge tax increases and FINES?

Here's why - to pay for the ObamaNation:

Yep lots of money in death, crime and fear as well.

Well we do have to subsidize the private insurance companies and fine those who do not buy their policies.

In related news, Obama is spending more on HHS alone than LBJ did on his entire administration, adjusted for inflation:

In fiscal 2011, according to these tables, the Department of Health and Human Services will spend $909.7 billion. In fiscal 1965, the entire federal government spent $118.228 billion.

What about inflation? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' inflation calculator, $118.228 billion in 1965 dollars equals $822.6 billion in 2010 dollars. In real terms, the $909.7 billion HHS is spending this year is about $87.1 billion more than the entire federal government spent in 1965....

Why?

That's a false dilemma. We don't have to do either of those things.

If people could afford "direct patient care" without having to worry that it will drive them into bankruptcy, I'd be all for whatever alternative would accomplish that.

With or without "Obamacare" The health care industry has been and will continue to be one of the fastest growing industries in America for some time.

Except there are some on the right who are trying to convince people that tens of thousands of jobs in the health industry will be lost if Obamacare is allowed to stand.

Are you trying to suggest that the agency only just NOW created all those groups? Nice spin. But I'm sure you'll get a few suckers to buy into that. It would be nice if people could actually READ it. Got a link?

 

[boedicca]

As I said earlier, Obama's HHS department is going to spend more in constant dollar terms than LBJ did on his entire administration in 1965.

ObamaCare will worsen this spending, add tons to the deficit and debt, and burden future generations with much lower standards of living than the present ones.

Tis shameful - and anyone with a conscience and a functioning brain realizes it.

And when the numbers are compared as percentages of GDP?

I work in Healthcare, 1) What is the patients diagnosis? 2) Does the patient have a healthcare proxy? 3) What is the patients health insurance? I hope those few help you.
