Comment: If I have to subsidize your lifestyle disease, who is going to subsidize mine? One reason Obamacare will never work is because the incentives are all wrong. The course we’re on is not sustainable.
“According to an analysis just published by the Wall Street Journal, healthy people will pay double or triple their current health insurance rates under Obamacare. Rates for those with chronic disease, however, will be reduced as all the healthy people subsidize their disease lifestyles.”
[…]
“This is the essence of socialized medicine…”
“Obamacare…is based on the false premise that health outcomes are a matter of pure luck. …”
[…]
“[Obamacare] actually creates a financial disincentive for people to take care of their own health, as it allows people to conclude, “Well what does it matter whether I eat well? The government covers my health insurance costs now, so even if I get a disease, it’s all paid for.”’
[…]
“When governments intervene to such extremes, twisting the laws of economics to the point where up is down and down is up, it only leads to enormous confusion and poor decision making on the part of consumers…”
“In a sensible system, there would be a strong economic disincentive for living a lifestyle of eating junk foods and sitting on the couch all day…”
[…]
“So all of you who choose to take care of your health and make wise decisions about your diet, exercise and personal care products are about to be economically punished by Obama. You will have to pay double or triple your current rates…”
“This is essentially the U.S. government forcing taxpayers to subsidize disease-promoting lifestyles….”
