What say you?
Obama isn’t about healthcare....he’s about control...so of course he will be against anything except control.
Well, for one thing, the Food Stamps program doesn’t require you to pay back what you used once you move up the economic ladder.
What other errors of fact are there?
Besides, as far as I can tell, the Libs want people dependent on them, not making free choices. That kills the idea right there.
I say F*** NO! Repeal the bill and leave medicine alone.
Folks... this would probably be a lot better than the Medicare system in place today.
Because it would introduce price competition back into the equation. Consumers could shop around for medical services based on price and quality of service.
Prices would be set by the market instead of insurance company middlemen.
Choice + Competition = a Market that works.
It's a different discriminatory pricing scheme.
Many of the complaints about Obamacare so far have focused on the mandatory purchasing of insurance. But, I say, if the price of that mandatory insurance is reduced to next to nothing for some, isn't this really discriminatory pricing? Isn't that the main idea here? Doesn't Steve's idea do much the same thing?
Of course, there's a whole host of other screwed up rules in this 2800 page monstrosity, but let's pick that up another day.
“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”
-Benjamin Franklin
“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents...Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.”
-James Madison
What say I? I say NO. Our government has no business being involved in anything outside its assigns in the Constitution.
Anything remotely along the lines of a remake is simply perpetuating the wrong direction the Left has driven this lumbering truck to date.
Everything we find of distress with our government today is directly related to past Leftist meddling with our Constitutional system. It has to stop.
NOTHING HALFWAY. IT HAS TO BE STOPPED COMPLETELY, and that which the Left has accomplished has to be reversed.
I saw the entire panel discussion on FOX. Steve Forbes was in no way saying that we should replace Obamacare with a food stamp type program. His main point was that Obamacare should be repealed and government should stay out of the health care system. When questioned about what we should do about those “30 million who can’t afford health insurance”, he suggested a voucher system similar to the food stamp program, where the uninsured could use the vouchers to go out in the open market and get health care services.
