The Feeding Frenzy
Creating a monstrously expensive, ever-expanding legislative/regulatory boondoggle of the first order could not be easier: Just set out a trough full of Other People's Money and then stand back. ObamaCare is the perfect example.
Obamacare Jumps the Shark in its Premiere
Ha! That's very funny. What politicians actually want to figure out, of course, is how to get more time at the trough for the special interests that fund their campaigns. How much will the chiropractors pay to get included under ObamaCare? How much will the acupuncturists pony up? The grief counselors? The exercise consultants? The herbal healers? The hypno-therapists? The line goes out the door and down the hall.
The roster of Healthcare Providers is suddenly endless, all willing to pay for the ObamaCare stamp of approval, guaranteeing access to the mother lode of taxpayer money as a matter of law, now and forever, amen. Hallelujah!
The alternative, a genuine MARKET (gasp!) in health care, allowing services and products to be rationally priced, is anathema in Congress. Markets don't provide nearly enough opportunities for lucrative insider dealing, highly-paid lobbying jobs after you leave Congress, and myriad other forms of graft.
