State controlled health care: What a deal!

It can't happen here right? Those who were pushing for Obama care and claiming that service and access to medical care would never be limited or denied? All of that opposition to Obama care was just a bunch of elitist rich people and their partisan hokum right? Americans required to participate in Obama care would never be told that their health care would be limited or that their cases would have to be approved by a death panel. Those were all simply wild embellishments and lies designed to attack the utopian dreams of the man of hope and change.

If you believe any of that that, then look at what is being proposed by state medicaid providers.

More states limiting Medicaid hospital stays

Advocates for the needy and hospital executives say the moves will restrict access to care, force hospitals to absorb more costs and lead to higher charges for privately insured patients.

States defend the actions as a way to balance budgets hammered by the economic downturn and the end of billions of dollars in federal stimulus funds this summer that had helped prop up Medicaid, financed jointly by states and the federal government.

Arizona, which last year stopped covering certain transplants for several months, plans to limit adult Medicaid recipients to 25 days of hospital coverage a year, starting as soon as the end of October.

Hawaii plans to cut Medicaid coverage to 10 days a year in April, the fewest of any state.

Both efforts require federal approval, which state officials consider likely because several other states already restrict hospital coverage.

Private health insurers generally don't limit hospital coverage, according to America's Health Insurance Plans, a trade group.

And if states are preparing to do it now? What happens when the fed reach the end of their string. After they have everyone bought into the scam and the system that we once had no longer exists, there will be no turning back. We can't simply opt out at that point and call our health care insurance provider and sign up again for the paid version that all of us enjoyed.

those days will have gone the way of the Dodo bird and the Carrier Pigeon by then and we will all be screwed.

So think about it. Regardless of the need, you may be told at some point that your health care has a limit like your credit card. and after X number of days? Too bad, you don't qualify for medical care.
