Okay, it’s a long title and it’s not very catchy, but let me blog a bit about what my title means.
There are so many arguments about the current Health Care Political Theater going on in the White House right now.
Should we have the public option?
Should we fund abortions?
What about gay marriages, will they get health care beni’s?
Who’s gonna pay for it? How much will it cost?
These are all great questions really and all of the issues are hot buttons as every person feels differently. Some people feel morally compelled to pay for those who can’t afford their own health care, others are so broke they can’t contemplate helping themselves, let alone thousands of the poor.
Others don’t mind universal health care but they don’t want to be fined for not joining the party, while some agree that everyone should be locked in and fined to help cover the costs, while still others are outraged that they would fine anyone to help cover costs and not because of an inherent need to force them to take better care of themselves.
There are still others who feel that everyone should just fend for themselves and deal with their problems without asking for a hand out.
Then you have me, and I’m not sure how many others agree with me, but I’m gonna blog about it anyways. For I find that my idea isn’t bad at all, it’s just that not that many people have thought about it.
My only question to those preforming in the political theater is:
Why does the Federal Government need to have anything to do with the Health Care industry?”
I could have sworn that per the American constitution, it says that they are only supposed to protect our freedoms, guard our shores and borders from attacker and to collect taxes to do those two things.
The constitution specifically says that everything else is to be covered by the people and their states. So why are we trying to get the federal government to give us a solution again?
The truth is, having federally mandated or universal health care will kill and ruin the health care industry. It will make the pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies ten times richer while we the people struggle to pay for our own health along with everyone else who can’t pay for theirs. On top of that, our freedom of choice in the medical scene will be completely shot, as the federal government will be entitled to regulate and run everything to do with Health Care.
They feel they can choose what you need better then you can. Don’t we already have enough problems with doctors who don’t really listen and laws that make it nearly impossible to seek alternative or outside help? How is having people that can hardly run the government, taking over the health care industry, going to help anyone other then the rich sob’s that are running the industry now?
IF instead we stopped the government from dealing with the Health insurance industry and instead used initiatives of the people in the states to rein in health care, we would see many glorious things happen.
Such As;
-The Federal Government can stop playing dramatic games and get back to work bringing our troops home.
-We can focus on the corrupt jobs system the federal gov is trying to set up and get people some real jobs and careers, instead of just temporary and wasteful jobs to pacify the masses for half a year or so.
-We can work on getting Cannabis legalized to create more jobs and a booming economy, as well as ending the trillions of dollars in taxes we pay to fight a useless drug war
-The states will be able to make customized regulations and mandates depending on the initiatives enacted by the voters and then voted on by the majority in each state. This will be so awesome, because if one state wants to mandate their health insurance to pay for everybody and give the greedy insurance companies more money, let them do it. But then the other 50 states aren’t bound to that method. If they choose to create a medicare type system with a tax and not mandate people, then let them go to it. If another state is happy with the way their insurance goes then let the people keep it with out any changes. There are millions of options and there is no reason that all 50 states and territories should be bound to one way and one way only.
-We will be prohibiting our federal government from getting more power that they neither deserve nor require
-We will be reining in the health care industry and regulating it without having to worry about tyranny.
-We the People will get to control just about everything about the health care and if someone doesn’t like the status of the industry in one state, they can move to another or enact an initiative to change things. This will enact changes faster and easier and they will be much easier to repeal if need be, then federal legislation.
Think about it. Do your home work in history. The States were supposed to be independent nations that were simply united by the common goals of freedom and liberty. The federal gov is not our boss, we are theirs. They are not authorities, they are public servants and we need to start acting our roles if we want to see true change that doesn’t drag our economy down even further.
Something to think about…. at least….
