Is this even a logical argument? If you wanted to save money wouldnt you just cut tht money spent ? ie Obama-care and medicare and allow different levels of insurance coverage per risk?
If you are successful forcing people to be healthy and they live longer then dont they just get similar medical problems at a later age which will cost more in the long run through entitlements.
Watch closely when these people in DC talk about saving money. Most people just believe arguments like this without question.
More memorable quotes in the aftermath of O/Care.
From Vladimir Lenin: "Medicine is the keystone of the arch of the socialist state." W/ govt in control of medical care, all the defining, controlling features of socialist govt can be introduced.....one by one.
O/CARE will transfer massive authority to the Obama Admin over the lives of Americans, and their businesses. E-v-e-r-y-thing Americans do is related to health.
========================================
FROM O/CARE LAW: Page 58 and 59: The government will have real-time access to an individual’s bank account and will have the authority to make electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
NOTE: Socialized health care is impossible without seizing private medical records----BUT the 4th Amendment prohibits seizure without warrants. The Obama govt will do it anyway.
========================================
From NEIL MCLAUGHLIN in Modern Healthcare "When Congress passed healthcare reform, reporters joked that the package amounted to a Full Employment Act for health journalists. There were so many provisions and questions about implementing it that it would require weeks and months to sort through it all."
Your asking to much from this crowd regarding attempts at being “logical”. Not that they really would want to go down that route.
Thanks sickoflibs.
