One of the contributors to the health care problem — who is not involved in the industry, but is involved in the insurance side of things — said people don’t understand what Obamacare actually is.

But what Obamacare is — a taxpayer scam. And it became a gold rush in Washington D.C. for the insurance companies.
But health care is you and your doctor, you and a nurse, you and your pharmacist. That’s what it is. The things that are not health care are the gold rushers and the bureaucrats.
Insurance is not health care. People used to buy their own insurance, but then it became attached to companies and people’s jobs. And then people really had no idea what was in their plans. It also caused insane overhead.
Chief investment officers aren’t involved with health either. They are everywhere and they are chief in complying with government. It ads costs, but it’s not your health. These things only further remove you from your doctor and your relationship with them.
Everything about Obamacare has been working towards a model of getting you to pay for other people because it expands the pool of “products.” If we got rid of the things that are not health care, then it would be really affordable.
As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
