HEALTH CARE REFORM…HEALTH CARE “ITSELF”

           I understand how it affects every one of us, and it’s either about to radically change… (and potentially, likely), change our country. I know I am against what I’ve heard so far, and DO NOT agree with a few Senators meeting in a locked room to write a bill, a SIGNIFICANT BILL OF RIGHTS FOLKS…”A…LAW”. You think there are too many laws or unfavorable ones “now” guys? Please think about this…

           I will post on this very important issue. I know I dispute “my” government controlling (what we do with our bodies and our needs or use of medical care), all for and about a price tag, and what “they” can benefit from. And I would also like to study our health care history a bit more before posting on it.

           I know of the Democratic Party “historically” wanting to change our nation’s health care, throughout the past 3 almost 4 decades. Wow...Think about that for a tic… For some of the last 35 years, the Democratic Party, has been “wanting”, and devising that reform.

All the while, our nation has both led and followed the greatest science and new medicine evolutions of our time. I think every Dems or Repubs, or Indies, have grown to appreciate the health care that is in our system when it comes to emergency room visits, and their personal or internal doctor visits. But from Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, The Clintons and now Obama’s, it’s looking like old Teddy may have his way after all. Well let's have a drink then... (Uh...It's ok Ted...I'll catch a cab, thanks.)

           I will say at least, from what I “do understand”, I am in favor of dialing in the current system and propping up Medicare, and I understand that millions of Americans do not have health insurance, which has always baffled me. But I do not agree with our government penalizing us for “not” having it. I do not agree to force private insurance companies out of business via public options or single pay plans, when the obvious, ridiculously “simple” solution would be to allow insurance companies to compete across state lines. That baffles me as well. I have a sort of understanding about insurance regulations from state to state, but think they should be allowed to offer coverage anywhere in America.

           Perhaps it falls in line with the current administration’s plan to break up giant conglomerations in every industry, to begin their redistribution of wealth agenda? Which I don’t agree with at all. This is still America (for now), and if Company “X” has a bigger better product or service, and it’s what the public/consumers want, then “we” should be allowed to buy it, period. Not to take advantage of American’s by price gouging, as with some of the phone companies and telecoms a few years ago. Again… I agree there should be some laws and standards regulation to protect us the consumer. But NO company should be held back from success by any government. That’s “socialism” folks. So is government health care. PLEASE take a moment to read the comments below.
