After a bill gets passed, the bureacracy puts action to the rhetoric. The huge question is, can they make all these wonderful pollyanish ideas of health care really function in a cohesive manner?One that would make our founders proud? Will they be able to invoke a system that really fixes the insurmountable issues of cost vs. effective health care in a timely manner. We already have the best medical care in the world. Innovations come on the scene on a daily basis; new research yields astonishing results. Longevity is increasing every year. Students are clamoring to get into the medical profession to enrich our lives and to discover that magic cure.
Do you really think that our government, no matter who is in the White House, will be able manage this huge appropriation of government funding and decision making on a reasonable basis?
There are over two thousand pages in this behemoth. Some parts of the bill don't even pertain to health care, like the government taking over student loans...no more private funding. What? more importantly, why?
I am more than willing to help those 15 million souls that are not currently insured. There are roughly 150 million working stiffs that are paying taxes in this country...out of 300 million,
hmmm...anyway, we can all pitch in 100 dollars or so to help the underinsured. As long as they are legal, I'm pleased to help. But, to turn this country into a seriously socialist state for no rational reason is ridiculous. Socialism has never worked to the level that the American capitalist system has performed. We do more philanthropic work around the world every day than has ever been accomplished in history.
You have all seen the affects of big government in the Social Security game, the Medicare fiasco and Amtrak...they are all broke. Shall we dance to the same tune again. There has got to be a better way...sure we need health care reform, but let's do it the American way...free enterprise.
Later,
