Here’s why vote for Obama bad for health

Posted July 18, 2012 4:40 am

I read the letter from Mr. Prescott about why he believes a vote for Romney is bad for your health.

Here is the flip side.

The train wreck of Obamacare if it happens will establish 140 new boards and commissions to oversee and approve medical procedures. Good luck on getting any medical procedure addressed immediately like it pretty much happens here now. You will have to go to Canada to get things done quicker and stand in line with them as well because they won’t be coming here anymore.

Buried in Obamacare are up to 20 new taxes including a 3.8-percent investment tax, good luck to the stock market and your 401(k), which the media doesn’t publicize much.

Also, our president said you can keep your doctor if you so choose. Really? In testimony before Congress, many doctors said that they may not be able to keep their practices open since Obamacare cuts their reimbursement rates for medical procedures and they would have to hire more employees to keep up with the paperwork required by the boards and commissions.

So if the promise of unlimited better care at no increased cost is believable by a president who has never run a business, met a payroll or submitted a budget and is running the greatest annual deficits in history now — I guess he is your guy. Maybe it is time to start worrying about what this president is doing with everyone’s money vs. what Romney has done with his own.
