We’re going to give you free health care, and it will be done by August, so why are you fighting it? So says the President.
Why are we opposed to the government taking over?...because nothing is free and if you have to funnel decisions through a government bureaucrat, every medical procedure performed will become even more expensive. History has proven time and again that government agencies are inefficient, yet for some unexplainable reason, many of us want them to run the largest segment of our economy. How in the world can anyone think this bureaucracy would be any different?
Here’s a fact. The government pays for nothing. You, the taxpayer, pay for everything. You might think that the rich, or big business will pay for everything, but that’s wishful thinking.
You and your friends and your family will pay for it in higher prices that are passed on to the consumer by corporations who must make a profit to stay in business.
You will pay for it in new taxes, because there is no way they can fund such a program unless they raise taxes on the middle class.
You will pay for it in time, as it takes eons for the government to approve anything.
You will pay for it in the quality of your health care. If doctors can’t become wealthy by being the best and the most sought after in their field, what is their incentive to excel?
You will pay for govenment bureaucrats to run the program, and they are paid more than insurance paper pushers.
Under a single payer healthcare program, you will receive mediocre care from mediocre medical staff, and if you aren’t happy with the care you receive, you won’t be able to find another doctor unless you pay 100% of the bill. And you think insurance is expensive!
There’s nothing wrong with our healthcare system that couldn’t be resolved by placing more constraints on lawsuits, but since Congress is made up of mostly lawyers, you know that won’t happen any time soon.
Our District 1 Representative, Louis Gohmert, will soon introduce a bill that would drastically reform healthcare, but leave the government out of it. When it’s introduced, I’ll post a link so everyone can read about it. He discussed the basics with us during our visit at Pop’s last week and it made a lot of sense. Probably too much for the Democrats.

I will be watching for the link. That's one thing that I think needs to be done, somebody needs to present a viable alternative. I heard that Governors (Democrat and Republican alike) are really getting up in arms about this proposed nationalized insurance. Maybe, maybe, maybe we could have a chance of avoiding it if somebody gives an alternative that people can get behind.
Here's an eye-opener related to that, from the INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY, posted on 7/15.

THey talk about an item found on page 16 of the proposed bill, that really puts a negative charge into it.
