Healthier Care???

We are soon to have a lesser America. The "politicians" in Washington D.C. (Da Capitol) are most likely to pass some form of a national socialist health care plan. The idea of national health care is merely an attempt by the few to rule the many. Currently we hear that "lives depend" on this being passed, "debate has ended," "This is a crisis." All of these are typical terms used by the State, President Obama, and little men of less character. How many that are voting for this are going to use this new health initiative?

Why is health care so expensive? 1) Medicare and Medicaid! Two programs run by government which illustrate the success of government. Many who had previously had community sponsored health care: doctors billing cheaper, or differently (barter) or even pro bono, no longer exists. Family members cared for one another. There were incentives to eat better, take care of our own sniffles, hang nails, etc. With Medicare and Medicaid, (along with other government "pro-family" agenda: abortion, welfare, poor schooling, and weak property rights protection) people are wasting abusing and devouring medical services and drugs like candy. (Be careful that's next of the planners list!)

2) When someone else pays, party. Why not have food insurance next? We go to the grocery store with a "Greens Card" fill the cart and have someone, or government pay. There are no real incentives, even with a deductible, to spend less. Health care is no longer a personal issue. Rather, "Who's your daddy?" When was the last time anyone asked the doctor what the costs were, prior to service???

3) What incentives are there for Government to provide the right health care. When I pay the bill, I purchase only what I feel is worth more to me than the money spent. Free markets provide only that which benefits them. They continue to innovate to lower costs, so they make more money, and provide cheaper and better goods and services. If they fail, they go bankrupt. If they provide well, they grow; but always under threat of something and someone better. We win as consumers. Medicine is NO DIFFERENT! Will government fail? YES! Will it pay the price? No we will, with higher prices for less quality. What incentives will doctors, who are now government employees, to work better than the DMV or Postal Services. Hospitals will become like Congress, mediocre. But taxes will continue to rise on the successful, while the rest of us sit around not working, not being taxed eating Black Market Twinkies* (That no taxing Black Market Twinkies sounds pretty cool, just don't cough and get caught!!)

4) Good health care will still exist, underground in back alleys, late at night for cash. I thought Obama has already been to kiss Putin's ass this should have given him some insight. Those who know someone will get good care, just illegally.

5) Thomas Sowell's article is brilliant. So most people probably haven't read it!

Take Care, or they will.
