If It’s Government-Run, Then It’s Probably Running Behind Schedule
Washington,
Oct 5 -
It turns out that government-run health care is not as efficient as some would like us to believe. We have only had this law for six months, but already ObamaCare has missed seven deadlines for implementation. That’s not much of a record to brag about and should give us all reason to worry. They cannot meet their own timetables, but Democrats think the bureaucracy will provide patients responsive care?
- “Six months after health reform's enactment, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has missed seven deadlines mandated by the new law, according to the Congressional Research Service.”
- “Medically underserved populations and health shortage areas: A new committee was supposed to issue a report on the methodology and criteria used for identifying the above by June 1. The committee wasn't appointed until July 9; its first meeting was Sept. 22.”
- “Medicare drug discounts: Contract agreement language for drug manufacturers to provide access to discounted drugs in the Medicare "doughnut hole" was due May 1. The agreement was released Aug. 2. HHS points out that the reconciliation act changed the date for the coverage gap discount program to Jan. 1, 2011.”
ObamaCare…it’s Bad Medicine. We must repeal it and replace it with patient-centered health care reform.
