EconomicPolicyJournal.com: Why Life Expectancy Will Decline Under ObamaCare

EconomicPolicyJournal.com: Why Life Expectancy Will Decline Under ObamaCare: "I have consistently pointed out that ObamaCare will result, within two to three years of its implementation, in a decline in life expectancy in the United States.

This is chiefly because ObamaCare looks at healthcare from the macro-position of its proportion to total GDP, without allowing for individual choice.

Because the structure of ObamaCare will be decisions at the macro-level in a structure that will be co-opted by the politically connected parts of the health care industry, the connection between patient and individual care will contiue to be cut.

It will have little to do with cutting costs since the connected will not see their costs cut, but this will mean even more drastic cuts for those healthcare providers that are not as connected. Thus, the scale of treatments and the quantity supplied of the scaled-back treatments will decline. This will ultimately result in earlier deaths."
