Huffman Hawks Obama’s Healthcare Ponzi

No one said that it was going to be easy to reform healthcare in America. An array of roadblocks has frustrated every attempt to even debate healthcare reform. It was always understood that insurance companies would be a primary obstacle. The profit motive is the bedrock of free-wheeling Capitalism. Large corporations and the small business community were determined to control costs. For decades healthcare costs have far exceeded the rate of inflation and every other measure of the economy. Where would the political will to reign in the exorbitant rise in health care costs come from? Whether it was the cost of insurance premiums, prescription drugs, medical technology, emergency room care, or the bureaucratic morass of administering hospitals, doctor’s offices, and re-imbursements, America’s political elite dithered and/or prevaricated to an extent that would make any Ponzi scheme aficionado blush with envy.
