Human traffickers

Today when we think of human traffickers usually we think of illegal aliens coming to this country with lofty hopes of a better life for themselves and their children. Personally I have a hard time faulting them for going after a better life. But the way we as a nation are poorly handling immigration is the subject for another day. Right now I want to examine what, I worry, may become a new reason for smuggling humans across the border. With the passage of Obama care if we can't turn this around we will see the standards in health care drop through the toilet. I for one, don't think Obama has any intention of improving any thing for any one. It's only about power. I, of course, hope I'm wrong about all of this. If I am, the whole country will just go totally bankrupt, people will say “well that didn't work” and we might even try real capitalism as our next experiment. That, of course, could only happen if everybody were good, or at least honest. 'Trouble is that, as everyone who reads a news paper or listens to network news knows all republicans are, or at least vote for liars. And whenever a democrat is caught with his hand in the cookie jar so many democrats are heard saying “they all do it”. I get tired hearing that all political leaders are dishonest, but it occurs to me that if my democratic friends are right, and even if only some “do it”, then there are some out there who are dishonest, and some who will try to govern by force. As in, hiring thousands of IRS agents to force me, (and you) to buy health insurance.
Well, what will happen when a rich person notices that he is having to wait for care behind some “commoner”, poor person, middle class person or even another rich person? Oh yes, some of those rich people really do think their money should buy them a better deal, especially when doctors are throwing around words like cancer, or any other time sensitive condition. What will they do? They will go to a “private” health provider. A private provider will be a doctor who will violate the law by only taking patients who pay cash. It will be a lot like it used to be when abortion was illegal. You've heard of back alley abortions. Well in this case it will be all kinds of back alley medicine. Make that black market medicine. At first they will mostly get away with it, but as the bankruptcy catches up and the death panels and the rationing gets tight, people will notice. When that happens, we will be right back where we were before Obama care. “Health care is not a privilege. It's a right!” “Only the rich...” O K, so we went bankrupt for nothing. Not so fast! The same dudes who forced us to pay for all those IRS cops to look over our shoulders will force us to pay for medical police to arrest those evil, law breaking doctors. After they, the doctors get out of jail, they will move to Mexico, and set up practice there. Remember the wall or fence that those evil republicans neglected to build on the border? The democrats will build it. Not to keep anyone out! But to catch those evil rich people who cheat and go to where the doctors have gone. In this case they will be right about “walls and fences don't work”... at least not very well. So, more border guards will be needed. That, of course, won't work either, but they will try. Remember those full body scanners? When they realize that rich people are benefiting in any way from honest work they will remember the full body scanners, and since they are all ready there, the terrorists who want to get on a plane will have to wait while the US citizens returning are scanned. With these scanners (and more advanced ones) they will be able to tell if you have had so much as a pre-cancerous polyp removed. Personally, I have a pin and titanium screws in my shoulder, so I will carry “papers” proving that it's all pre-Obama hardware. I wouldn't want to be arrested for illegal medical purchasing. Oh, I will have papers on the polyp I had removed about ten years ago too.
Enter Human Traffickers. Today, even poor aliens can afford to get across the border. Do you think the Obama administration will be able to keep out rich citizens?
