Obamacare causes school shutdowns in Tennessee
Finding out what’s in it: A Tennessee school district has been forced to shutter classrooms, putting more than a thousand students out of school, because of the cost of Obamacare.
It is important to repeatedly note the disaster that is Obamacare, because many of the same people who wrote and imposed Obamacare on the nation, the Democratic Party, are still in office and are running for office again. Do we want these people writing additional laws?
Or are we so stupid that we are willing to ignore their failure and give them an opportunity to screw us again?
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Let me start by saying what is good about a government run system as we have in Canada; for true emergency care it works well, in fact I would go as far to say “extremely well”. If the injury is work related (unless you are the boss) the system works well, but since the employer is the one paying into the “workers compensation premiums” one can not say that it is government owned.
Now, the downside: The Canadian system is very expensive and over %50 of taxes go for paying it. If you have a chronic problem. it is crap! The wait times are worse than the VA. Once one is in the system, it is better, but getting a proper diagnosis can be a problem. The idea of a second opinion is not there as all are on the government system. A diagnosis is done on a sequential basis; that is, first try the cheapest way, the there may be a many step process which can take years. Also, if one goes outside the system, they will not look at you again! Our politicians use the USA for their health care needs!
If we had a two tiered system, the folk well off would use it and the wait times for the government system would be less. However, there is a bit of the “dog in a manger” sentiment. The lazy ones who will not work do not want the people with money to get ahead of them. This drives initiative down as can be seen in Sweden!
In conclusion, you folk in the USA do not want a Canadian system. Friend of mine have died before they got a proper diagnosis!!!!!!!!
I’ve had experience with the British health care system, and my oldest sister has experience with the British and Canadian systems. I’ve long maintained that the only people who want those systems are ones who’ve never experienced it Guess what, America?! You’re experiencing the worst of both!
“Or are we so stupid that we are willing to ignore their failure and give them an opportunity to screw us again?”
Yes.
Very sorry to say, I second the “yes.” There is very little doubt about it.
