ObamaCare Designed for Control, Not Healthcare : Yoga?

So many questions and so little time to answer them before it's too late - ObamaCare is almost here to stay. The frustration for so many among us who trying to understand the thinking behind ObamaCare and it's designers but find it totally incompressible as to how insanity has become the new norm? Yoga should be covered in our health care plan? What?


but wait, why do we have to have "Cadillac" plans that are not cost effective and unwanted?


Common sense is no longer a useful tool to be used for understanding the democrat at agenda. ObamaCare has nothing to do with common sense or reality, this is about taking control of the population by force.

When a leading benefits consultant writes an article in the Harvard Business Review recommending that health plans should cover yoga, it should be glaringly apparent that we have perverse incentives in U.S. health benefits, says National Center for Policy Analysis senior fellow John R. Graham.

• Cigna insurance CEO David Cordani says the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services' recent payment changes that emphasize quality over quantity in healthcare will shift the focus on "sick care to more well care." But a widespread embrace of diet, fitness and other wellness programs is still a way off..."
• Insurers should cover "new wellness- and prevention-oriented treatments such as yoga and meditation, Sukanya Soderland, a partner in consulting firm Oliver Wyman's health practice, wrote recently in the Harvard Business Review. (Jayne O'Donnell & Laura Ungar USA Today)

Are we really meant to believe that employees cannot pay for their own yoga classes? Especially as the so-called "Cadillac tax" on high-cost employer-based health plans is going to start sinking its teeth into those plans, why would any employer want to increase the likelihood of incurring that tax liability by channeling more of employees' compensation in to health plans that pay for benefits like yoga?


A constant theme is that Obamacare incentivizes insurers to attract the healthy and shun the sick. It looks like it is increasingly happening in employer-based benefits, too.
