Oh Bernie? I think the Healthcare narrative is changing under your feet! - Granite Grok

Oh Bernie? I think the Healthcare narrative is changing under your feet!

Bernie would be Bernie Sanders, the Socialist Communist in Democrat wolf’s fur.  He of the “everything’s FREE in America” bent – until the bill comes due.  Given that he’s appealing to the economic and history idiots in the country, he’s gained a lot of traction especially when he wants a single payer healthcare system here in the US.  Yup, instead of you and I choosing for ourselves, he is going to haul butt in changing Obamacare by supercharging it to “Medicaid for all!”.  Has he ever tried to USE Medicaid?   Probably not but he ideological bent in forcing us all into will not relent as he wants us to adopt a Nordic style healthcare and holds it up all the time.

Problem is, they are moving away from that which he touts:

Sweden Is Upgrading to Private Healthcare

…Sweden’s insurance trade industry organization, Svensk Försäkring reports:

The number of private health care insurance policies has increased in recent years. In 2011 about 440,000 people had private health care insurance. Most of these people have their policy paid by their employer. Additionally, The Local recently reported that nearly “One in ten Swedes now has private health insurance,” with rising policy demand extending to half a million Swedes and growing throughout the 9.5 million living in the country.

From The Local:

“It’s quicker to get a colleague back to work if you have an operation in two weeks’ time rather than having to wait for a year,” privately insured Anna Norlander told Sveriges Radio on Friday. “It’s terrible that I, as a young person, don’t feel I can trust the health care system to take care of me.”

The Local also reminds us that the Achilles heel of all socialist systems plagues the Swedish medical system, stating:

Visitors are sometimes surprised to learn about year-long waiting times for cancer patients.”

This is an unfortunate reality in an industry where suppliers cannot predict market prices for a service and therefore must ration, causing poor service and over-inflated demand. The only logical conclusion that one could derive from this situation is that demand for supplemental private insurance skyrockets because of the inadequate government healthcare system.

But then again, ideologues like Bernie only see the ideology; being a Leftist means never having to say “we’re sorry; we screwed up” or looking mistakes and failure directly in the eye and go “ok, time for a change”.  No, folks like Bernie will ALWAYS blame someone else, trot out hapless scapegoats, or even their own, for their shortcomings.  Just because Bernie was a absolute miserable failure in the private sector, where does he get off railing against a “rigged economy”?  Sounds like sour grapes and envy – the absolute tools of the Left.
