The Healthcare Dilemma

I lost my job last week. Upon the passage of the Healthcare Reform Bill, medicare reimbursements will be cut and my physician could not afford to keep all his staff. I wonder if those in favor of this bill realized the impact it would have on the economy, our society, THEIR OWN healthcare? Do they realize that this "free" healthcare they envision will come at a price? Less healthcare workers to provide for them...and the ones who are left have less incentive to treat them in a timely manner. Less healthcare workers mean less people spending money on "things"...thus creating a ripple effect. Soon stores, restaurants, beauty salons will begin to feel the pinch as more and more people tighten their belts. I am only one in a number of people who went into healthcare for the security. That security is gone. I also went into healthcare because I felt a strong need to help my fellow man...unfortunately my fellow man just wants a hand out not a hand up.
I think things are going to get worse. Too bad people were so misinformed.
