More on Healthcare
Rose is a friend of mine, that I do care for. It may not seem so sometimes, because she knows how to press my button and piss me off. Here is a note I sent to her…
Rose, I don’t concede we need healthcare, because I’ve always believed we need it. I just don’t believe in Government run single payer healthcare. The Government can’t run anything efficiently or low cost. I also don’t believe that we have to cut all taxes from the Government. Even though I think we need limited Government, the limited government has to run.
What can be done to give all Americans (not the world) healthcare is to cut the Government to the bone. No earmarks, no pork, no automatic pay raises for politicians, limit the Government to what the Constitution necessitates. Make the Government do what it’s supposed to do, and that’s to defend our people and guard our boarders.
The money saved is then used for Medicare for those that need it. Not to require everyone to have it. If I don’t want healthcare, I shouldn’t have to pay for it. Obama is going to require it, violating my Constitutional rights. Then if I want to get private healthcare from my employer, I can get that.
I’m not heartless. I’m just not Communist. Part of the private healthcare systems problem is, dare I say, Government. Private healthcare is given requirements to fulfill with a bureaucracy to oversee these requirements. Government knows nothing but how to skim money. So to say the problem is profit is wrong and right. The profiteer is Government.
When the private industry makes profit, they use that profit to discover new medicines and procedure in medicine. You take out the incitive to make money, you take out the incitive to discover new methods. It’s basic economics. Greed is good. Communism removes greed, therefor incentive. Medicine is rationed, lines grow, people die. Communism seem fair, feels good, but is really… bad.
I did tell you they don’t teach economics, history, or the Constitution in school? That’s why we are where we are. Just so you know.
