“The grim joke of every actuary is that if people die earlier, you sure save a lot of money.”



The article I found quite interesting is one in the Washington Times titled, "Obamacare's race against the cures." I feel the author is directing this article to all Americans, with emphasis on those chronically ill or in need of surgery. The author goes on to show how the Obamacare will make the situation in health care worse then it is now. I went into reading this article with an open mind and decided to dissect each main argument the author was making to see how I felt about it. There were a few things said that really got to me, and it started to lean my opinion on this article in a very substantial way. One of these statements made that impacted my decision, was one that a man by the name of Mr. Pinkerton made to Washington Times, stating “The whole ethos is to spend less on health care costs, while cures and medical outcomes are much less important to the political culture.” Are you serious ?!?! You want to put seeking out cures and medical outcomes on the lower end of the spectrum, why?!?! Who is the one saying these things, and why do we as Americans who deal with this bull crap health care get a say in anything? This statement here by Mr. Pinkerton as well really had me thinking and I feel this is just what our government is thinking, “The grim joke of every actuary is that if people die earlier, you sure save a lot of money.” I mean why would we need cures if Americans die off, especially the ones with cancer and other devastating diseases. It just sickens me and I agree whole heartedly with this author in everything he has said about this "Obamacare" and I feel if things continue the way the uppers want it, we are in for a real bumpy ride.
