I Have figured out how to fix healthcare crisis....if there is one!

Wonder whats next?

fall hurricane season is upon us...

or maybe...another terror incident?

I'm sure they will find something to inflict us with.

I saw his name (mr. emanuel) somewhere today in the news...what was it?

I've been there many time, family of five, earning less than thirty thousand....didn't qualify for anything.
It's not gonna help to just expand the social programs, since the state gov'ts are buckling under the costs of these programs. Just like the employers are finding it harder and harder to find affordable insurance for the employees.
And, we have done that before, remember, not long ago, we increase the schip coverage....
all that will happen is that the insurance companies will get a big windfall from the gov't, much of which, they will pass on to their upper management in the form of salary hikes and bonuses, and then, well, just to make sure there is plenty of needy out there for the gov't to respond to again, they will increase the cost for the consumers!

I think if we didn't have all these aide programs out there, there's a good chance that many of us who are going without healthcare would have more money in our pockets. I also think that the cost of the healthcare wouldn't have been so inflated, so these people would have their healthcare. So in effect, what they have done is took that healthcare from some of the population and redistributed it to another group.....one that they felt were more "worthy" to have, namely, single mothers and children, the elderly, the disabled.
Can anyone show me in the constitution where it gives the gov't the power to decide who should recieve the healthcare, who shouldn't, and then proceed to take it from those they deem less deserving so they can give it to their pets? I don't think it does.
To solve the problem, they need to either make an honest attempt to cover all those who need the help, and I mean an HONEST attempt, have seen that yet!! Or just drop the handouts, let fate and economics decide who gets it who doesn't. But, it does not good as it is when it seems to be turning functional productive people (read taxpayers)....into not so functional "disabled" people (read "pets")! Fuctional two parent families (read taxpapayers!!!), into one parent families....(read "pets")...
it is and has been redesigning our society in a bad way!

The stats come from a book by Sally Piper. Top Ten Myths of American Healthcare: A citizen's Guide.

I have lived on $25K or less all my life. I did not say that this would enable everyone to live well....only that everyone could have healthcare.

I totally understand your plight...but am a little envious of your income and have to wonder...even though you claim no frivolities, how I'VE done it all this time on so little? I guess that would be to personal of a discussion, and I don't care to indulge in it.

As for healthcare being so expensive...the alternative healthcare community has been trying for years to get the government to listen to them on this...and they refuse to. As well, the Big Pharma corporations could do a lot to decrease costs and won't. How about some rules for the insurance companies to play by? Tort reform would keep the costs down too..when malpractice insurance went down for the practicioners.

I was trying to show that things are NOT as bad as the ObamaCare supporters would have us believe.
I believe that less government is better for the people...and when government does step in...as in the healthcare programs they now have...it must be with as little control over the people's freedom to choose as possible.

When we step out into adulthood...start families and take on careers...all these things are OUR choices and we must be responsible and bear the consequences of those choices. What government CAN do is make sure the playing field is FAIR and EVEN. Government is only making things worse with more bureaucracy if this thing passes...not to mention the door is opened for control of the personal choices of the people. Maybe 'death panel' is to emotional of a phrase...but when you start talking healthcare...you ARE talking emotional subjects. Life and death and the time in between IS AN EMOTIONAL subject. Touch a persons right to determine their own life and you've touched deep EMOTION.

As for the two parites not reading it...perhaps the common person out there hasn't read all of it...and we know Congress hasn't taken on all of it either. But THERE are those...on both sides...who have read it and have tried to explain it in depth to the common person out there wondering about its content. Some have taken the time to read both opinions....that is what I did.

You know, you're right...she did say that.

And she also said it takes a village to raise a child...I don't want to sound uneducated or anything....but what does that really mean?

I know to me..my worldview it means extended family. It means the elders of the community, it means my neighbors, churches, schools...etc.

But I am sure that Hilary didn't necessarily mean JUST that.

The Clintons are Statists, as are most liberals.

When she refers to a village, she is talking about a nanny state. She considers the Government to be mother and father, and everyone to be members of the government village.

She is talking about a Socialist society, where all of the needs are met by the rest of the villagers.

And of course I do not support that belief. No matter how compassionate it may present itself....the government has no place in my private life.

That compassion is false, empty, and a trap for the unwary.

There is no free lunch, and every government handout comes with a whole lot of strings attached.

Dependence is slavery, and slavery is wrong no matter how it is dressed up.
