Government Run Healthcare Doing Harm

 
How can any physician or indeed anyone in the health care industry follow the Hippocratic Oath when government intrusion dictates procedures that do otherwise? Read both the Classic and modern versions of the Oath here Medicine.net

We have been made well aware of the number of deaths at the hands of the government run VA's incompetence and outright chicanery. These deaths have been held up as  examples of what a government run facility/institution/program is (in)capable of.
The ongoing failures of the program itself is nightmarish and has been documented by  a government audit. link
There will be many more needless exacerbation of chronic and disabling illnesses as well as deaths if this travesty does not end one way or another.

From FOX  "Months after the deadline to enroll in a health insurance plan through Obama Care has come and gone, thousands of Americans have found themselves without coverage due to backlogs or glitches in various enrollment systems, according to a published report.... In Nevada, approximately 150 people have turned to litigation, filing a class-action suit against the state-run exchange and Xerox Corp., which helped set it up.
One of those plaintiffs, Robert Rolain, tells the Journal that he signed up his wife, Linda, this past October for a health plan through the state exchange that was due to take effect March 1. In the interim period, doctors found a tumor on his wife's brain and planned surgery. When Rolain brought his wife to an oncologist to have the procedure done, he was told she wasn't covered, and the surgery was pushed back two months, to May 14. A little more than a month later, Linda Rolain was dead." post

This death is the direct result of the primitive, inept, impotent, and downright flailing launch of the program. This tragedy is not the first instance of a government caused death as a result of its flawed health care system. It will not be the last if something does not  change, and change quickly, in  the structures and operations of both the VA and Obama Care.
