A peek at government health care in today's Dispatch

There's a brief article in the Dispatch today that is a peek at what we all can expect when the government controls our health care: lawsuits, people not signed up, information arrives too late to be useful, appointments are not set up, qualified recipients don't receive their medicine or services, or they are lost in the system.

Now this story involves a very small group, incarcerated mentally ill. How hard can they be to keep track of and serve with medication? It seems one in four declines post release services, but that hasn't kept advocates for nine former inmates from suing Ohio for more services.

When you hear the sob stories in the MSM about Americans who die without health care (which is untrue because we have laws that require their treatment, even for the illegals and no amount of "preventive" medicine helps alcoholics, overeaters and smokers if they refuse to change), keep in mind that many people eligible for services either don't apply, or find the process so complicated and daunting they give up. There is so much red tape strangling the poor, the homeless, the mentally ill, the confused and the elderly, it's not surprising that millions don't use the health programs to which they are entitled. Without a family member advocate, many of the programs are useless. That won't change regardless of the trillions Obama throws at the problem. His intentions are evil; the results won't be any better because this take-over has nothing to do with health.
