Elitist Ruling Class One-Percenter, Jeanne Shaheen’s “Das Hospital!”

Jeanne shaheen

New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen almost sounds as if she has traded her copy of Karl Marx’ Das Kapital for Adam Smiths ‘Wealth of Nations.’  She actually said, “...people who are willing to pay more, that they have that option of going to their doctor and hospital no matter what.

There’s almost a faint Free-Market ring to that remark.  Could she actually be implying that hard-working Americans can just pick and choose care based on how much they want to pay?

Not to fear.  Senator Shaheen is still to the left of Comrade Warren from Massachusetts.  What we’ve got here is an admission of a two-class system of health care, created by millionaire Democrats like one-term New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen.

So no, she is not actually suggesting that we go back to the way things were before she helped screw up health care at every level of government she touched.  She is referring to what George Orwell framed with the words, “Some Animals are more equal than others.”

She and her Democrat comrades have given us, out of the goodness of their hearts, a federally managed corporatist system of “care,” whose abundant mandates, limitations, and restrictions can be overcomeif you just happen to have enough money to overcome them.

So what the Democrat Senator to New Hampshire meant when she said that ObamaCare would allow you to keep your plan, doctor, hospital, was that if you were filthy rich like she is, or were willing to give up all your other comforts or worldly goods, you could buy your way to better care with a doctor or hospital above your pay grade.

Jeanne Shaheen, in typical socialist fashion, is the champion of a two-class system of care of her own making.

There is the one we get stuck with, the one with fewer choices, higher premiums, and unaffordable and astronomical deductibles, where some doctor (probably not ours) is forced by law to treat you like he or she is a TSA screener who has just pulled you out of line for looking like a  potential terrorist–each and every time you go there, no matter how hard it becomes to get in to see them.

And then there is the one Shaheen and her fellow one-percenters can afford.  The one where they get to navigate and choose doctors and treatments free from the interference of mandates and the uncomfortable data collection requirements she has placed upon everyone else.

She has ensured that higher quality care is restricted to the rich, where they will have little or no fear of having to mingle with the peasants.  And all you have to do to enjoy this first-class, gold card club treatment, is buy your way in.

In honor of Karl Marx we should dub that ‘Das Hospital!’
