The NEW Soylent Green

 

 

"Soylent Green is people!"

 

Back in the 1970's there was a popular dystopian movie called Soylent Green. It was a far fetched movie about a world where food was becoming scares and the value of people had diminished. The plot of the movie was the Soylent Corporation had come up with a new nutritious food wafer called Soylent Green. At the end of the movie we find out all the wafer contained was recycled people. Part of your life was to die to feed the others.

 

The more I learn about the new health care act, the more it has become clear to me it is the new Soylent Green. Every year, the value of each of us diminish in the eyes of ObamaCare. If we are in our 30's, and have value to the collective, our lives are worth medical investment. If we are in our 70's and retired, we offer little value to the collective - we are expendable. In fact, the best value older folks can offer to the collective is to die - quickly and inexpensively.

 

It is simple math. Most of us incur the brunt of our medical expenses in the twilight of our years. These expenses are a back breaker to a Ponzi Scheme program like ObamaCare. There is absolutely no way this program can survive without rationing. in fact rationing has already started when you see how the financials of the program were determined. Hundreds of billions were taken out of Medicare to fund a big chunk of the program. Soon there will be a "cap" on how much one person can take out of the program. If you are unlucky enough to contract a chronic disease, there will come a point where your options will be hospice care or nothing.

 

All one needs to do is look to Canada or the UK to see how this works. Waiting lines and rationing are the natural off spring of nationalized health care. All this while bankrupting the country. People who enthusiastically endorsed ObamaCare will find out the hard way how this program will really work. If you are lucky enough to be healthy, good for you. If you are not blessed with the best of health, good luck.

 

My personal viewpoint is the Administration had done a lousy job of selling the viability of this program to the American people. It could be they are lousy salesmen - or, it could be what they are selling is in reality the new Soylent Green.
