I'm waiting for back alley chemotherapy by those seeking care made illegal (or at least delayed for months or years) by Obamacare

That's not what will happen. People will discover the joys of gaming the socialized medical system, just as others in socialized countries have done.

This will involve (not in any particular order)

Bribes (your doctor, hospital, druggist, politician)

Medical tourism (running to Mexico, or other places to get things done)

Mafia (physical threats against doctors, politicians, etc. to get things done)

Emmigration (going to live in other countries who will provide services for family members who get sick)

I used the term "back alley chemotherapy" as a tweak to abortion supporters' often repeated term "back alley abortion". It bugs liberals on so many levels because it catches them in their hypocrisy over "a woman's right to do what she chooses with her body" actually means a few cubic inches of it during her fertile years, because everything else on her and the entire body on everyone else will be at the mercy of Obamacare's treatment list.

I think there will be big money to be made in investing in hospitals in Costa Rica, the Bahamas or even on ships outside the three-mile (or is it twelve miles now?) territorial limit.
