I am not a political pundit, nor do I claim to fully understand the intricacies of the health insurance reform bill of which Mr. Obama seems to be so proud.

However, I do recognize the familiar aroma of political bull.

The centerpiece of Mr. Obama’s campaign for presidency was the advent of affordable health insurance, health insurance for all. The campaign promise was dubbed Obamacare.

Obamacare appears to do nothing to aid the currently uninsured. It appears that those who can barely afford health insurance now will be paying more, and those who can easily afford health insurance will be paying less.

Where’s the reform? Mr. Obama is merely rearranging the chaos that is the health care industry and calling it a new plan.

The stakeholders in the health care part of the health insurance industry – the occupants of the executive level in hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, and doctors who kowtow to the insurance industry- eagerly anticipate the arrival of millions of new customers. The hospitals want MRIs for everyone with a headache. Prescriptions will be flying over the pharmacy counters. Doctors will hardly have to look at their patients; they’ll get paid over and over again…. Oh the golf vacations they envision!

The stakeholders in the insurance part of the industry, the executives who decide that the insured should not actually be given treatment once they fall so ill they need extensive medical care, are dancing the victory dance. They know that the so-called socialism of Obamacare is a myth. They know premiums will skyrocket and government subsidies will flow and all will be right in their world.

The uninsured, people such as me and my family, who live on part time paychecks and unemployment, will remain uninsured.

Smell that? It’s the aroma of Obamacare.
