Back in 1993/4 I was a minority on a college campus. Being a Republican I soon to realized how liberals judged conservatives first hand. His name was Jake Gibbs and he was my professor of American History my freshman year. Anti-establishement he forced his opinions down the classes throats and I felt I had to respond to keep a debate alive. After all this was state money forcing his thoughts down young students minds.
During the same time period President Clinton via Hillary tried to takeover all medical care of the U.S. This would have been a takeover of our lives. I’m going back to this because this issue will be back under the current administration and the Mexican Flu is the perfect storm to get us there.
Just like Clinton’s plan, the government will automatically enroll every citizen into their system. What obligation does the government have to take over 1/7th of the U.S. economy. With public healthcare all patients would have to go through a ‘gatekeeper’ to decide what medical treatment they might need. Unlike Clinton’s plan we now have 45+ million illegal aliens draining our economy and even with amnesty they would not be able to pay their share of this burden.
This effected me as I realized how small businesses would be hit the hardest. Small businesses and capitalism have kept America the last place on earth anybody can make it. With these added payroll taxes on all employers to cover health coverage to all individuals the federal government has no limits on taxing these small business owners.
As in the UK, costs would be paid by a payroll tax between 7.5% and 10% to all businesses and workers in America. President Obama has already raised the tobacco tax this year with money going to fund Medicare. The tax on a pack of cigarettes has gone up from $.39 a pack to $1.01 and although this is one tax that we can collect from illegal aliens it’s also likely to make smokers buy cigarettes on the black market.
But back to the issue on socialize healthcare and working Americans paying for everybody. One issue that should make everybody not want this is the DMV. As anybody who has had a drivers license or registered their car knows, it is not a proficient and clean place. This soon could be our doctors offices. Well it already is if you count emergency rooms. English is not spoken and these leaches are forcing hospitals to close their doors do to lack of money.
You can also forget choosing your doctor just as you can’t choose what line at the DMV to be in. All doctors would be forced to join governmental networks as if they don’t join they will be forced to go out of business. My personal physician has already expressed his worries to me on this.
These taxes to pay for universal healthcare could destroy millions of jobs and in this recession even more of us could be put out of work. In a 1993 study (“The Employment Impact of Proposed Health Care Reform on Small Business” said it could be 1 out of 8 of us.
Most entry-level jobs in American could be gone if this goes into place as the majority of new jobs are created by the small business owner.
The government already controls over 45% of healthcare in America so you can say we have not had free market healthcare since the 40s. Our costs have gone up do to the following:
• The number of healthcare services from government services.
• Government mandates on insurance companies
This free market example I have to show how healthcare would benefit is Lasik eye surgery. As it is rarely covered by insurance or Medicaid the price has gone down through a free economy while the quality has gone up. When the government doesn’t get involved solutions improve!
We always hear that Canada and Europe all have socialized-medicine but ask anybody from those states that are over 65 how their “care” really is. The waiting list in Canada is so high that patients cross the border for surgery to not die waiting for it in America’s hat.
Once we venture to a socialize-healthcare plan we can never go back. Government doesn’t know how to downside or say something doesn’t work as you can just see with our public schools. The only answer government has to problems is to through more money on the problem. The problem I have with this is the money is OUR money.
Google is getting ready for this with their Google Health service. All citizens of our country would be registered as well as illegal aliens who have jobs. This will contain all our private medical information and has the chance to be used to harm a person with their records. Government does not need to step further in our lives and yet this is what the people have done by electing this new administration and with the help of the recent Democrat Arlen Spector could soon happen.
Sadly a socialized-healthcare plan enslaves us from birth until death. National ID cards and a computer database of every person in America our government will have total power over her citizens. Please write your local congressmen and senetors to tell them to not let any healthcare reform pass as it will be cradle-to-grave slavery to each and every one of us.
