The latest proof that Obamacare is not about “care,” it’s about Obama comes by way of a news report that U.S. hospitals that treat the uninsured as a charitable aspect of their non-profit operations can bepenalized.
No, seriously.
You see, Obamacare’s never been about insuring the uninsured. A report by Bloomberg shows that 26 million of the oft-lamented 30 million (out of a nation of 310 million) who don’t havehealth insurance won’t be covered under Obamacare — no matter what. So if a charitable hospital wants to treat one of those outliers, the Obama regime is going to drop the hammer.
This just in from the Daily Caller:Charitable hospitals that treat uninsured Americans will be subjected to new levels of scrutiny of their nonprofit status and could face sizable new fines under Obamacare. A new provision in Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code, which takes effect under Obamacare, sets new standards of review and installs new financial penalties for tax-exempt charitable hospitals, which devote a minimum amount of their expenses to treat uninsured poor people. Approximately 60 percent of American hospitals are currently nonprofit.
Ouch. Who knew “liberals” were against charity, right? This doesn’t make any sense unless one comes to grips with the simple fact that Obamacare is about getting people enrolled in a system that can be used to control the people and dictate how much care each person is entitled to.
If that makes you feel warm and cozy and comfortable, maybe you’d like to take one of these vaykay brochures for exotic North Korea. While there, you will get free food, clothing, housing, and of course, free healthcare. Oh, but you won’t be free to do what you want? Exactly.
