Why Obamacare will fail and lead to a socialist USA

This column in the American Thinker herel, represents thinking of an individual who has worked within medicine on several different levels.  John Dale Dunn, MD, has operated a not-for-profit HMO, practiced medicine in ERs and is a consultant to a large clinic in the midwest.  He recognizes all the faults in the current system, and there are many but all drivebn by the third party payer nature of the system, but he warns us not to be fooled by the various promises of the planners of Ocare.  They have all been tried and have failed in other iterations.  This obomination cannot stand, or we are well on the way to full socialism in this country, and does anyone believe that system works?

ADDED: 5/26/10.   Dr Berwick, O's nominee to oversee the socialist Obamacare program, is profiled here in this article describing his talk before the NHIS of GB recently.  Clearly Dr Berwick is a socialist who would be quite at home in the British healthcare system, which he holds to be the model for the US system about to take root here.  A proponent of state planning in healthcare delivery, et al, Dr Berwick describes the need for rationing (by bureaucrats, of course) but nowhere describes the benefits of innovation and new discoveries of drugs and the like as produced by our capitalist system and the profit motive.  Wonder where he thinks penicillan, MRIs, antibiotics and the like, which have all made life better for everyone, are going to come from in the future?

ADDED: 8/1/10.  Here is the simple answer why Obamacare must be defeated.  Otherwise Americans will become as helpless as the average Brit locked into a medical system that does not work and cannot work because the incentives are simply not there.
