ObamaCare closing down hospitals

If you might think the situation in Romania is bad because they have to overcome 44 years of communist totalitarian dictatorship, you would be right, however the socialized medical care in many EU countries is not much better.

A remarkable photograph taken by Lazar Dinu in 1989 shows patients from a hospital in Bucharest, overjoyed that the communist dictator was gone and that they would be able to find drugs in pharmacies, doctors would treat them without bribes and would not kill them during simple surgeries, hospitals would be modernized and actually heal patients, and happiness would be restored.

I wrote about socialized medical care in communist Romania in my autobiographical book, “Echoes of Communism,” and in a recent article on ObamaCare.

Judging by the comments of Romanians today, twenty-five years later, not much has changed. A few private hospitals were built; the bureaucrats and politicians are getting rich off the EU funds that are supposed to go into health care; a Palestinian doctor wants to install a monopoly over healthcare, state-run hospitals are still dirty, deficient; money ran out early in the year; doctors and nurses still take bribes to care for patients; patients are still housed in wards and cared for by their families; drugs are more easily available when bought out of pocket, and medical insurance pays modest and inadequate sums for various procedures and for drugs.

Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen it...

"Family members were told not to alert the media in case their loved ones needed to be hospitalized there again. One visiting family member who wanted to speak to the media was asked not to do so."

This is the Chicago way...

I have seen leftists on social media praising Their Lord And Savior, The Obama, The Messiah, the Won, for “giving them health care”.

Free $hit. It’s all about the free $hit.

I hate people.

I thank God that neither President Obola nor any of his trust funded cohorts will ever hear a doctor (or an IRS agent) say “maybe you should just take a pain pill instead” (remember the response he gave about the 100 year old woman?) as we members of the Great Unwashed will.

I was in Harvard Square the other day (yes,*that* Harvard) and saw a bumper sticker on a Prius that read “I heart ObamaCare”.

“....and saw a bumper sticker on a Prius that read “I heart ObamaCare”.

No different than a Volkswagen microbus with Grateful Dead bumper stickers and peace signs. Just more ‘intellectual’.
