The author doesn’t seem to think that Obama is radical. He also starts with the premise that more government is the answer. My less is more, non interventionist stance is a hard sell. Telling Joe Bag O’ Donuts that less government solutions are the answer just doesn’t resonate with most people and is inherently counter intuitive.

No, it doesn’t but sometimes you can’t resist doing so anyway. I have told some of the, “The government ought to do something about that” crowd that I cannot understand why people are incapable of realizing that the government is NOT interested in solutions, government thrives on CREATING problems and offering FAKE solutions that only worsen the real problem which in all too many cases was a fake, manufactured by government, problem to begin with.
The so-called health care crisis did not exist at all until government tampering began and every intervention created problems that had not existed beforehand and every “solution” offered only worsened the problem that the government created in the first place. In my lifetime we have gone from a country where you could walk into a doctor’s office, give your name, sit down and be seen shortly WITHOUT an appointment and pay the bill out of pocket and the doctor would come to your house if needed, to a situation where many of those who have health insurance cannot find a doctor, either they are “not accepting new patients” or they don’t accept the insurance you offer. Walk in patients are out of luck now, if you don’t have an appointment you must either go to an urgent care clinic or the emergency room or just stay home.
The next “solution” planned is “single payer” which will mean that everyone is on a medicaid plan and you will see the “providor” assigned to you after waiting so long it will make the current VA medical system look like paradise on Earth. Then when you finally see someone the odds are that you will wind up worse off than if you had simply taken a stiff drink of Rock and Rye and gone to bed. At least you might get some rest that way so that your body would have an opportunity to heal. Sitting in a waiting room for hours after waiting a long, long time for an appointment to sit in the waiting room will make a well person sick. Understanding what is really going on will make you puke.
