I'm talking about where they're obviously trying to go with the whole thing. Obamacare is just the latest in a long series of unhelpful interventions in the marketplace, each of which has served to provide the pretext for the next. The democrooks as much as said that they expect Obamacare to collapse and then they're hoping that nobody will notice that it was a government intervention that "cratered" and that they'll be able to use it as an excuse to bring in a single-payer scheme.

I'll assume you really are a physician of some kind You have to have noticed that each iteration puts more control in the hands of government bureaucrats and piles on ever increasing piles of paperwork, both on providers and on patients? I remember a day when my doctors were working for me-- when (except for a few communicable diseases) what I spoke of with them remained between us. Now the default appears to be that anything discussed and any test results will be reported, the data to be mined by the "appropriate" government agencies, and God knows what private companies and hackers. (Reporting to my insurance company is reasonable-- I'm hoping they'll pay for a lot of it, they're reasonably going to want to know why they need to pay.)

You probably think, for instance, that doctors spying for BATFE is a good thing.

I'll tell you what the insurance companies are doing....In order to get around the clause that you can't be rejected for pre-existing conditions....They simply remove your doctor from their Networks...I know...this has happened to me. In my area alone, they have removed 46 percent of the Dermatologists and gave me two options as far as available doctors. Two doctors to service the entire St. Louis market when it comes to private care physicians. I appealed to them per established procedures, and they told me to pound sand basically. It was like a Kangaroo Court. Even my Doctor appealed their decision and they just laughed it off. In addition to this they took my primary care physician off the network as well...then I had to go get a "referral" to go back to my Dermatologist, which I had been seeing over 10 years. (My primary care physician I had been seeing for over 30 years) I get the referral and they remove her from the network...all during a time period when open enrollment is not available to change plans.
