I am very curious to see what other freepers think. It is a very scary time for America, and it isn't my intention to foster fear. But I think its a good exercise in strategic scenarios to prepare ourselves for the worst, and then look at ways to possibly prevent the worst from happening.

IMO, there are 59 other traitors, not including zero.

Obamacare? Another New World Order oxymoron. The 2009 version of Reagan's "Scariest Words You Could Ever Hear":
'Hi we're from the government and we're here to help you.'"

Let's quit calling it Obamacare and come with a more descriptive word bite. Something like...

Obamascare

Obamawaste

Obamawreck

Obamaruin

Obamanuke

Obamaraze

The Obamanation of desolation (and put a rap beat on it)

Obamaravage

Obamapulverize

Obamadisintegrate

Obaomba the nation

Obaomba America

You missed a huge tool of the Marxist playbook, the control of food. It will be used to subjugate those who show spine.

My doctor has already said the minute it is signed into law he is retiring. He also says that many of his peers will also quit. Since he is over 55 and most of his peers are the same they can afford to.

I do not think it will lead to civil unrest. All it will lead to is looooooooooong lines. The Hope and Change people will not do anything on their own, just sit back and take it.

Will Texas (and whoever else) follow through and secede from the union on the grounds that the federal government has broken its limited-government constitutional agreement with the states, freeing the states from a binding contract?

We’re not going to run out of doctors and nurses.

These folks are going to be like a lot of tenured teachers what cannot write a complete sentence.

There is going to be a lot of fat minority women that come from minority colleges that cannot even write their freakin’ names. It’s going to be like government hires. It’s going to be quotas and PC bs. They will have job security like so many of the worthless tenured government employeed union teachers.

Just imagine this wanting to operate on one of your loved ones.

I don’t believe it will be like the car fiasco or Katrina. Hospitals have been facing their own Katrina for a long time through illegal immigrants and cuts in the socialized medicine programs that CMS provides. People (legal or not) are already entitled to emergency medical care through EMTALA.
I see more of the less obvious occurring such as physicians retiring earlier than planned, more physicians not accepting CMS (including Medicare)to try and free themselves of the government, more insurance companies closing shop, the need to import foreign physicians who are more the willing to accept this universal care crap, more of the highly qualified students not choosing medicine and more of the less qualified choosing medicine, and as this proposed crapola plan progresses...a huge split in health care between the most wealthy and the rest through emergence of private healthcare system (doesn’t take government minions) and a public system (takes government minions)

One thing for sure pre-existing conditions for children cannot be considered by insurance companies starting immediately. Since the rates for children’s coverage is so low I see rates in general going up.

Governments and charity hospitals will be paying the insurance premiums for their sick kids.

I think we will eventually have a severe shortage of doctors and quality of care will be much worse than it already is. I don’t think most doctors become doctors to become rich, but I think they do want to be able to provide good care to the best of their ability and they won’t be able to do that. I’ve had doctors tell me that the cost of malpractice insurance drives doctors right out of their business, yet this bill doesn’t address tort reform. Ins companies know how much it costs just to defend all the cases and therefore malpractice insurance is a huge reason that healthcare costs are so high. This bill is insane but what can we expect when people are in charge and have a majority that are communists to their core. I think it will take years for the full impact of this to be felt.

Taxes will go way, way up, and doctors will bail.

Take a number, America.

“and it isn’t my intention to foster fear..”

What’s wrong with fostering fear? For that matter, what’s wrong with yelling “fire” in a theater if indeed there is a fire.

The Marxists are going for broke, they will seize the power. Then they’ll tie it up for decades because they know that the citizen is basically law abiding sheeple.

This country is basically screwed!

In the Soviet days, people that had reason t fear arrest voluntarily moved to Siberia before the knock on the door came. There they could live outside the gulags instead of in them. These thugs have already been knocking on our doors for years now with NO pushback. Our social body has been destroyed.

I have no nice solutions. Just remember: it took seventy years for the Soviet Beast to consume itself, and that was only because it was denied fresh conquest.

I, personally, have lost everything of value to liberalism. I only wish t flee this mess to find some peaace in solitude. If there’s some sign of resistance to this catastrophy I may be back to help.

The number of applications to medical schools across the country will decrease, as the top tier candidates head into other fields where they can more maintain their autonomy and put their intelligence to good use.

The remaining applicants will be sub-par leading to the continued downward spiral . . .
