ObamaCare’s Annual Check-up: Ailing, to Get Worse

Item: “More than 100 health care reform advocates rallied Wednesday near the site of the new Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center to celebrate the anniversary of the Affordable Care Act,” reported the Kansas City Star on March 23. “‘For the first time in the history of this country, we will — maybe — see the end of physical suffering to a large degree,’ Rodgers CEO Hilda Fuentes told the group. The health care law has already brought several changes in medical coverage but won’t be fully implemented for several years. Many Republicans contend the law is too costly and unconstitutional.”

Item: “Michelle Obama on Wednesday weighed in on the one-year anniversary of the health care law her husband signed into law, arguing that the changes will help parents raise a generation of ‘happy and healthy kids,’” reported the Politico website on March 23. For example, the First Lady urged parents to ask for a BMI (Body Mass Index) “screening to catch any obesity problems early on: ‘today, most of you can get your child’s BMI screened without paying a penny out of pocket.’”

Correction: Being overweight is a personal matter, but being burdened by big government is a national problem.
