There are many countries around the world that have socialized medicine. If you talk about another country’s health care system, people here have to demonize it. Is their health care system in shambles like ours? Their health care system seems to work for them. We could have adopted anyone of their methods and improved upon it. Here in the United States, we have to try something new and have our health care controlled by two corrupt entities; the federal government, and the private insurance companies.
If a person works and makes a good living, and must pay for their own health insurance what are they to do? If their insurance is $1500.00 a month, they must make $8.72 an hour just to pay for their insurance. That is $18,000.00 a year. Plus; they will have huge deductibles to pay if they do get sick. They have few choices; they can lower their standard of living, or demand a lot more money for what they do. They can also change jobs, and work for less money; get part of their insurance subsided and have more. To use an oxymoron; there is a lot of wealth in poverty. The poor people will get their insurance subsided, and probably will not have any deductibles to pay. If a person is self-employed, and runs a small business, they will have to raise their rates, and take a chance they will not price themselves out of business. What choices they make, will have a negative effect on the economy.
I understand; to make insurance work you need a lot of healthy people to pay into the system to take care of the health needs of the sick. Now that insurance companies must insure the sick, premiums will sky rocket. With the Affordable Care Act, we will be told what hospitals, doctors, and medicine we can use. The average deductible is a little over $5000.00 a year. Most people will never use the insurance unless, they are extremely sick. The high deductibles will discourage people from ever using the insurance. The deductible will have to be met before the insurance starts to pay. You can call it insurance if you want, I am going to call it what it is, Obama’s Redistribution Act, or the Unaffordable Robin Hood Care Act.
The Affordable Care Act is a huge social program which was designed and created solely for the redistribution of economic wealth. The President wants economic equality for all Americans. Isn’t this Marxism? With Marxism, you are going to have winners and losers. The winners will be the poor; they will have health insurance; while the middle class will have insurance premiums so high, they will not be able to afford insurance. With the Affordable Care Act, Americans are being forced to participate in President Robin Hood’s great plan to redistribute the economic wealth. If we refuse to cooperate, we will be fined. Isn’t this the same as being arrested for not participating in Robin Hood’s socialist plan? If I run a stop sign, and get arrested, I have a chance to plead not guilty, and I can fight it in court. If people don’t sign up for Robin Hood Care, are they automatically guilty? Is this how it works, “Shut up, and do what you are told, or be arrested?” Doesn’t this sound like the seeds of communism are being sowed on American soil? The government will assure us it’s OK; it isn’t a fine, it’s only a tax. You can call a pile of dog crap a rose if you like, but it doesn’t change the color or the smell.
The government believes the elderly will be a great financial burden to society, and the medical system. As Mitt Romney put it, “They’re a bunch of worthless eaters.” The insurance companies and government will take your premiums, and control your health care for your entire life; when you start costing them to much money, they will get rid of you by rationing your health care thru the, “Robin Hood Care Act.” This health care system is going to open Pandora’s Box of more government control, and it’s going to lead to a totalitarianism form of government.
