Hope and change: "The Obama administration has not ruled out turning sick people away" from ObamaCare high risk pool. AP: ObamaCare may mean longer ER waits, crowding

That sure was quick. ObamaCare won't be fully implemented for 4 more years, was just signed into law a few months ago, and the obvious results that that all of us conservatives have been saying were going to happen are already front and center in the news. Rationing, long lines, lowering of quality, yada, yada. First, from The Hill: Health law risks turning away sick

The Obama administration has not ruled out turning sick people away from an insurance program created by the new healthcare law to provide coverage for the uninsured.

Critics of the $5 billion high-risk pool program insist it will run out of money before Jan. 1, 2014. That’s when the program sunsets and health plans can no longer discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions.

Administration officials insist they can make changes to the program to ensure it lasts until 2014, and that it may not have to turn away sick people. Officials said the administration could also consider reducing benefits under the program, or redistributing funds between state pools. But they acknowledged turning some people away was also a possibility.

R-A-T-I-O-N-I-N-G. Nobody I think has a problem self-rationing their own care, and in fact most people that pay out of pocket do just that, but when the government does it that's a problem. In addition to the rationing, at $140 to $900 a month, many won't be able to afford it. Will Obama prescribe them some suck-up pills? In related news from the state-run AP: Health overhaul may mean longer ER waits, crowding

Emergency rooms, the only choice for patients who can't find care elsewhere, may grow even more crowded with longer wait times under the nation's new health law.

That might come as a surprise to those who thought getting 32 million more people covered by health insurance would ease ER crowding.

They have a name for people who think giving 32 million access to a service without increasing the capacity of that service would actually decrease the load on said service - morons. Morons appear to be subatomic particles negatively affecting mental capacity in liberals.
