It should be understood that the fundamental concern of the American people should be the public HEALTH. How long to we live? How many of us get cancer, and how does that work out? What about infant mortality? HEALTH.
A Secondary consideration is HEALTH CARE. Do we have enough doctors, nurses, technicians, caregivers, and facilities? Do people die or get worse due to a lack of trained people and/or facilities? But remember, the primary concern is public health.
At a lower level, we consider HEALTH INSURANCE. Health insurance is possibly related to health care and health, but it is a secondary factor. If health is good, or health care is available, the presence of health insurance is superfluous.
Which brings us to OBAMACARE.
OBAMACARE has divorced millions of us from our favored doctors, hospitals, and insurance carriers. It has cost us thousands of out-of-pocket dollars (collectively BILLIONS).
And yet...I have yet to see ANY MEASURABLE EVIDENCE of a single HEALTH benefit resulting from Obamacare. Infant mortality? Nothing. Cancer survival rates? Nothing. Savings at Emergency Rooms? Nothing. Better diagnosis and treatment of disease? Nada.
You can't even speak in terms of a "tradeoff," because there is no positive on that side of the ledger. All they can talk about is more people being insured. But so what? HEALTH is the issue, not insurance.
Look up the word, Boondoggle.
