OBAMA CARE CRASH
Couple things to point out:
(1) If you remove the automobile - the number of accident related health costs drop drastically. Americans own and drive more automobiles per capita than any other country. Now China probably has lot more bicycle accidents, but I don’t think these culminate huge health care costs overall.
(2) Americans, especially the lower and middle classes but not exclusively, frenzy the fast food industry and other convenient processed foods like Mac-n- cheese and hot dogs…. i.e., CHEAP and BAD. American has higher health care costs because we eat dirt like pigs…. The high health care costs are due to poor eating, not the health care industry.
3) Over 40 percent of Americans don’t pay taxes. Roughly 12 million illegal aliens use the existing health care system for free via the emergency room.. Another 18 million or so Americans use the same system for free in the same way. The cost to cover this huge number of non taxpaying, non insurance paying individuals is passed on to the rest of us who do.
The health care system needs several things:
1) Mindset needs to change from ‘Hope and Change’ to reform - reform the current system and champion the free market system.
2) Tort reform is must starters, remove this huge liability from the shoulders of Doctors and hospitals who have to operate excessively cautiously to avoid needless and costly litigation.
3) Break down the government regulations - allow the free market to work, allow insurance copies to compete across state lines. Perhaps the Insurance companies don’t want to compete, hence the status quo, fine, but deregulate the market and sooner or later someone will cross the border a(because they are going to make money) and the competition will begin by itself.
It is clear to everyone (except liberal lollipop lickers) that the Obama Administration is cloaking his ultimate goal of Socializing American under the drape of Hope and Change, starting with the health care system . It is easy to convince his constituents, the low and middle class (and ilegals)who can vote ,thanks to ACORN and the like) that it is patriotic to believe everyone should have health care coverage regardless of cost or toll on the economy.
There are too many folks on the left and middle who are smart enough to get this… but they don’t. Why? Could it be that the progressive liberal cool-aid they have been drinking for years has rotted their minds?
The free market is being attacked by the radical left (Obama Administration and Progressive Media) and Socialism is being ushered in right before our eyes. Frankly… people are lazy, despondent or too intellectually constipated to follow the bouncing ball here. It is scary, and extremely disheartening to those of us who get it.
Folks are anticipating that there will be huge midterm turn around that will send a crystal clear message to the Liberal left that America is waking up and their days are marked. I certainly hope so anyway.
And watch out…. next is Cap and Trade, or as the left will spin it (already are) Carbon Debt. Ties into the grossly exaggerated global warming crisis.. All intended to crash middle class America and the free market system.
Mark my words.
