The Economic Stranglers

Mark Levin, in Plunder and Deceit, on Pages 54 and 55, brilliantly delineates how Obamacare and Medicare, over time, will consumer more and more of America's GDP: "The key problem in America is the increasingly centralized role of government in the provision of health-care services, which does, in fact, becone administratively unmanageableand financially unsustainable over time. Top-down command-and-control decision-making, combined with political and social engineering and redistribution subsidies, destroy the application of genuine insurance practices, distort and eventually contract the marketplace; hugely inflate costs; gnerate widespread economic inefficiencies, unpredictability, and scarcity; and severely diminish the quality of health-care services and their availability to countless patients."
