So, I don't have a problem with Elites. What I have a problem with is elitists. These are Elites who think they they know what's best for you, and they ought to have the power to control your life. In other words, they are smarter than you and their ideas should replace whatever systems are in place. And this is exactly what some of them intend to do for healthcare.
And it's by this means that things like Obamacare got passed. Obamacare has some great ideas in it. But many of the things in it had never been tried before. So, they were untested. The only way they made the bill was because elitists decided they knew better than the systems already in place. And that's how we got this system where hospitals do not get reimbursed for COPD patients who are readmitted within 30 days, a system that has caused many smaller hospitals to merge with larger ones.
So, let's discuss systems already in place. What are they? Why are they in place? Well, most of the systems we use were developed over thousands of years. They evolved over time and have been tested over and over. That doesn't mean they are the best systems. But they are the best systems that mankind has ever thought of. They are there for a reason.
Then we have chimeras. These are ideas that elitists get into their head. And they think their ideas are better than the systems already in place for thousands of years. And their ideas have never been tried or tested. And that, despite this, they will be better than the systems already in place. They need to come up with evidence proving their ideas are better. But this rarely happens. And it didn't happen when Obamacare passed. And this is why you heard people like Nance Pelosi saying things like, "We need to pass it before we know what's in it."
Elitists are the ones who tried to remake our healthcare system. They got this bright idea and now we have to live with it.
