Last night I was watching “Huckabee” on Fox news while I was having dinner with my family, I heard a funny explanation that Mike Huckabee’s hamburger/Obamacare analogy was very good and understandable.
In his view, Obamacare is like hamburger and suppose hamburger costs $5, if 85% of people have hamburgers and they like those hamburgers, they think 5 dollars is fine for them, but it is not fair that 15% of people don’t have hamburgers, therefore there is Obamaburgers! That will create universal hamburger access, but it is truth that some of those 15% of people don’t have burgers because they are vegetarian and some may want a hot dog, so there is only 5% people truly can’t afford a burger, but with Obamaburger, we have to raise the price of that $5 burger to $7.50 because those who paid 5 have to pay for those who don’t have any burgers. Now, some people will get Obamaburgers for free, others are gonna only pay $2 for the 5 dollar burger which now costs $7,50. But the thing is that so many people want those free burgers and they want those $7.50 burgers now for $2, that people who used to buy $5 burger and thus they would least to pay $7.50, but now they actually have to pay $10 to make up the differences of the free ones and the ones have being given at reduced cost.
I like his explanation, because that is what Obamacare truly is, which people have to have burgers in his way, with all those extras and they have pay for them, even they do not like those burgers or they are vegetarian. Also, some people are forced to pay the higher price, because they have to cover the differences of those people cannot afford the burgers. For all those governmental problems, the only answer is “follow the money”
