Crony Health Care
The winners of Obamacare are 1) Big Pharma -- guaranteed gov't price, 2) Big Insurance - continued state monopolies, 3) Big Law - no tort reform, and 4) Big Hospital -- cost plus. The losers are 1) the doctors - wages & liabilities, 2) the taxpayers - continued 10-12% increases, especially the young & healthy, and 3) the labor unions, since all the administrative jobs will be unionized when it transitions to 'government affiliated'; unionization will add only about 10-12%, but will sure make a lot of union bosses happy. We have become so used to big deals between government and industry (Dodd Frank, repeal of Glass-Steagall) that we totally miss the significance of things like the real impacts of Obamacare.
