Obama's Idea of Health Care Reform
Patients needs will be met despite cuts, Edmonton officials claim. This is the totally awesome socialized health care system Obama, and his progressive loons, are attempting to install right here in America. Time and time again, we hear about how great these systems are (because Obama and progressives are liars) and then we get stories like this from Canada and the U.K.
EDMONTON — Even though Albertans shouldn’t expect to see a balanced budget by the new health authority until 2011-12, pinching pennies won’t come on the backs of patients, says a top health executive with Alberta’s health superboard.
“When they need the health system, our responsibility is to make sure the system is there to meet their needs,” said Mike Conroy, executive vice-president of corporate services for Alberta Health Services. He spoke one day after The Journal detailed a presentation he made in B.C. that suggested Alberta could face a projected health deficit between $500 million and $1 billion in 2010-11, in addition to the current $1.3-billion debt.
“Our focus now is to identify every opportunity for efficiency that doesn’t compromise quality and access, and take advantage of those.”
If this doesn’t sound familiar, get use to it if ObamaCare is passed. If you don’t have the funds [taxes] to pay for services, services will be cut to control the costs. Here is something of concern that should be pointed out in the article…
“We’ve been running deficits with the health regions for some 10 years now. Typically what happens is there’s an arrangement made that cash is advanced, and in some cases in the past budget deficits have been picked up,” Liepert said, adding his department is working with Alberta Health Services to address the$1.3-billion shortfall for 2009-10.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid love socialized medicine and you should be certain that their brand of big government-run health care will follow in the same footsteps. Check out how RomneyCare worked out in Massachusetts and you will realize what will happen if we turn over our health care system to progressives. Deficits, health care rationing [look at the mammogram and PAP test recommendations that just created a firestorm] and long lines. It’s not deficit neutral when the government takes taxes away from the citizens.
