OBAMACARE IS A RED HERRING

SPECIAL POST

It dawned on me last night: the fuss over ObamaCare is a red herring.  

Consider this:  There are about 325 million people in the United States and about 12 million of them... 3.7%... are enrolled in ObamaCare.  Well, the entire nation is now focused on the pending legislation to repeal and replace ObamaCare.  What's the big deal here?  

The absolute fact is that the rest of us, self-insured or insured under employee or private healthcare plans or through Medicare... are the ones who are really suffering.  Premiums are skyrocketing, co-pays are increasing, deductibles are soaring, and the associated costs for vision and dental care, prescriptions, etc. are out of reach of more and more Americans.  

Why isn't anyone doing anything about that?  

Perhaps they figure that, if they can keep us focused on ObamaCare, they won't have to deal with the problem.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
