People say that those of us with insurance pay for those without it... how is that any different then the proposed health care plan of Billary? Those of us who pay taxes will end up paying for the health care of those who do not... Is that any more correct than the current system? Actually it is even more wrong since people do not have a choice in the matter, it is mandated. If you do not comply they will just take it anyway... How is this not a precursor to a totalitarian regime?
I think what angers me most is that my fellow Americans do not see the writing on the wall. We allow the government to regulate how much water goes down the drain when we flush... We allow them to tell us when and where it is okay to smoke... They screw up issuing something as simple as a driver's license... and now... We give them control over our health. What's next?... well in order to qualify for the "free" government health care you must meet certain standards of health... If you do not meet them, you do not qualify... so they garnish your wages to pay for the healthcare you can not even get... That is right and just...
Now, lets say you have a catastrophic injury, or come down with terminal cancer. Well, the wait for treatment now is months long. Not to mention you will no longer seeing the best a brightest doctors the country has to offer. They have left the country and gone to a place where the need for medical assistance outweighs the need for another government bureaucracy. The government has now taken all competition out of the system, so you may get Dr. House but more than likely you will end up with Gomer Pyle operating on you...
Oh what an amazing vision for this country... I know that is just the kind of change I want for my little boy Michael... I want to leave him a country where the government decides if and when he gets treated for his illness... I want a country where everyone has healthcare unless they are not healthy enough to qualify for it... I want a country where mediocre people operate on me rather than the best a brightest the country has to offer...
Surely, Pisio, you say... the government would take the best of both systems to ensure the quality of health care in the United States stays high... Yep... you are right... just as they have insured the education in America remained the a head of Europe and Asia... Surely Pisio, you say... the government will insure all poor people have health insurance and can afford the basic treatment they deserve... Yep... you are right... Just look at how well the public education system in say... Compton California is doing... or inner city New York... Yep... the government sure solved the education system in America (at least we score above Cyprus and South Africa in Math and Science tests)...
Next time you believe that health care is something the government should attempt to fix, remember your last experience at the DMV... Can you imagine waits like that for heart attack victims, or cancer patients? What about pregnant women... The government's solution will be to throw more money at it... more of your tax dollars... Yet, if they just kept our taxes lower and gave us the choice of how to manage our household affairs we could maybe... just maybe afford our own health care if we CHOOSE to invest in it...
Prayers...
Pisio
