Government Healthcare

As if the government has screwed up education and other things it is involved in enough, now we are heading for a time when there is going to be government healthcare. Obama, showing his true socialistic colors, is pushing ahead with this initiative. And, sad to say, many American support them. The truth is that most Americans are too foolish to realize what they are getting themselves into.

The simple fact is that no country offers unlimited health resources. There is always a limit as to how much can be spend. Look at those on welfare. They are only given a certain amount to spend on food or housing. Those amounts cannot be exceeded. Another example is education. Look at all the teachers who have to buy their own supplies because the school districts have no money. And now we are getting into heathcare.

Canada is probably the closest to the United States in terms of wealth that has socialized medicine. For those who were not paying attention, the Canadians are known for coming to the U.S. to pay for procedures that are either free in their country or not available. This is common knowledge to most who read more than the NY Times. However, here is an article that describes what America is going to face with rationalized medicine.

Notice how the government made decisions about the health of these particular individuals. The choices of the doctors were ignored. This is how rationalized medicine works. Those who are deemed "unworthy" of the treatment are rejected. )How would you like to be the guy with the brain tumor? I bet he feels worthy of that surgery.)

America really needs to wake up and quickly. The left is hijacking this country. Of course, the ones they pretend to be "harming", the rich, will get around anything the government sets down. It is those who believe the government will help them that ended up getting screwed. Just ask people living in public housing in most major cities how they like their neighborhood. Simply, the government failed them.

Mark my words, the Obama Presidency is going to end up asa one of the worst on record. They are going to mess things up so bad that it will take generations to recover.

This is the model we are following?

The present United States leadership is intent upon moving us towards a European style of government. Nowhere is this more evident than in the area of healthcare. This is the one area that we are almost guaranteed to see the Federal Government take over. The fact that Tom Daschle had to drop his cabinet bid will only delay what is Obama's plan: the full nationalization of the heathcare system.

Opponents of this style of coverage have long pointed to the inefficiencies in countries with that style of healthcare. The fact that Canadians often choose to pay out of their pockets to have expensive operations done in the U.S. as opposed to the free ones at home ought to tell us something. These people would not make this choice if the free healthcare was adequate.

Before we just headfirst into this argument, it is crucial to remember that the government is the organization which allows about 1/3 of Medicaid expenditures to be fraudulent. If it would just eliminate the fraud, we would see a 33% increase in effectiveness. Of course, that will not happen.

Anyway, back to the initial point. Socialized healthcare is full of abuse and inefficiency. For those who want to "sell" us on the wonders of this plan, I think they ought to read what really happens in countries with socialized medicine. Here is an article out of wikipedia that I am sure you will find very interesting. It details so of the issues they have in England with this concept.

Well, this is what we have to look forward to. Perhaps Americans will start taking their chances with the medical practitioners in Mexico.

Free Is Never Free

Especially when the government is involved. I wrote a number of times on here how the government, specifically, the leadership wants to take this country to the left. It seems that they want a model that is similar to England.

Now, we have a report out of there of how Free education actually costs the average citizen money. Read this article to see the heist in education across the pond.

And people think that the same thing will not happen here. The bottom line is that there are only so many ways to break up a dollar (or a pound or euro). Ultimately, goods and services need to be paid for.

And we want these same fruitloops running our healthcare?
