The Trouble with Obamacare

I am all for medical insurance reform, but I believe it should be a free-market, customer-centric approach. Since you could save money by making wise decisions, you might bypass expensive, questionable procedures that people generally rush out to get today because they perceive the treatments as being"free," which isn't the case. If you have an good insurance plan at work, you are getting less pay than you other wise would recieve. If the money came out of your medical savings plan then you would think twice about orthosopic knee surgery, which I know first hand is a waste of money. If you had afib, you'd think twice about soending $25,000 from your medical savings account for ablation because it only works 60% of the time and, if successful, seldom has lasting benefits beyond six years.
Obamacare wants to cut costs by making us more healthy through preventive medicine. And so the government, like a nagging spouse, begins dictating to us what we can eat and can't eat and other lifestyle choices. The system infringes on our freedom. It turns us into wards of the state.
I shop at the grocery; at the car dealership; and I am smart enough to shop for healthcare without the help of a Nanny State.
