I still hear this debate about the new federal mandated health care that is trying to be forced into existence.  For one President Obama and other politicians are trying to push the passing of the new health care bill, and with parts constantly changing politicians can’t really read it.  Though in their defense even if they had the time to read it they wouldn’t, so all in all I guess nothing loss or nothing gained.  But there are real problems that many Americans should at least ask themselves before supporting this government project.
    One, the government will be in control, and I’ll quickly go over the ineptitude of current government run programs.  The TSA a government organization only catches 25% of contraband that they themselves test, meaning alot more stuff can get through.  When the government enters health care it’s even worse, the government takes care of Medicare…and if you notice many private organizations needed to invent Medicare Supplements so that people don’t fall through the cracks.  When you look at other countries health care systems you find many stories of people being denied treatment or people just being neglected.  I told a story during one of the show, where France needed to institute a law that said you couldn’t wait in an ambulance for more than five hours, something absolutely unheard of in our current system today.  I’d like to see how that’s treated here, “We arrived at the hospital, but you’re going to be here in this ambulance for the next four and a half hours…and then you can wait in the waiting room”.  I’m sure that I’d want to call ahead and reserve seating, something like I can do for an Outback Steakhouse.
    One of the biggest things I can’t understand that people are overlooking.  People who should be opposed to this new “government health care” aren’t opposed to it.  I know this isn’t big on people’s minds…but we want to pay more attention to that.  We all want government health care because we don’t want the evil companies taking advantage of us anymore.  Well if these people currently “screwing” us over, want this new health care we should start to wonder what’s in this legislation, or what we don’t know.  Think health care is a big funder of our current congress, if they wanted to they could crush this bill, as they have done so many times before.  Yet, their not why?  Because one of the ideas floating around, is requiring people to have health care and if you don’t have it…well the government will buy it for you.  See how the insurance companies can make a huge fortune off taxpayer backs?  Then the drug companies who have congress in their pockets, will lobby congress to only cover certain drugs…and the rest we’ll end up paying more for…once again…more money for those evil companies that we want to get rid of…this might be why they want this to pass.
    Congress is only to happy to quickly pass this legislation so that their buddies can make more money…and you the taxpayer will pay for it.  Once enacted, this system will never ever be pulled back.  I admit as anyone who has looked into the situation, is that the current system isn’t working, but getting the government involved isn’t the answer.  The same people who invented the DMV should never be put in charge of health care, its just common sense.  Instead moving away from health care and into a pay for service as needed like eye care is currently, and you’ll see prices come down a lot..because they would need to be affordable for the average person.  Then the control will be yours and your doctor…and only your control…both of the other suggestions puts someone not you in control of your health.  You can find countless stories of both insurers and governments denying health care for those who need it and when people beg nothing happens.  In the free market system, you can get treated and there would be organisations that would help for those emergency situations…but more people would survive.
     I know that all of this ranting will do nothing, that this government health care will pass, and because of it people will die.  This is just a normal nature of the American person now of days.  We all want the government to take care of us…and give up our freedoms in the process.  Well I know, only because it can’t continue this way, that this government will cause itself to fail.  Many state government are already going bankrupt and the federal government isn’t too far behind that.  The system either has to tax us at a higher rate…and the is only so much of that they can do, or cut their services (and we know they can never do that).  The system is doomed by it’s very existence…they can only grow so much before their system falls apart.
