I’ll agree 100%.
I understand a whole bunch of you were all wild-eyed and determined to sink Obamacare, but that wasn’t going to happen, partly because there are some of us who support it. That is to say we support it as a step.
Because there is no other step. American healthcare is an expensive, unreliable mess right now.
We also support Sarah Palin, and Ted Cruz.
And I was opposed to both of them, just on this one issue.
Right now, there is a GOP bill stuck in the House, in fact I bet there are several GOP bills stuck in the House.
Find a good one, or make a better one.
ABOUT HEALTHCARE.
Propose our own version. Then fight it out. Nationwide.
Don’t just say “no”.
Advocate for a better plan.
You’re freaking kidding me. You support Obamacare?
ABOUT HEALTHCARE.
As long as you operate from the premise that the government has ANY business getting involved in health care, as long as you operate from the premise that people have some RIGHT to make other people provide them with health care, you are part of the problem.
As long as you believe that health care is anything other than a service provided by PRIVATE individuals, and provided FOR profit, YOU are contributing to the destruction of our collective freedom.
Private, free market competition is what created the greatest health care system in the world. Believing that it is a RIGHT that should somehow be guaranteed and provided by the government, is what is destroying it, and every single freedom we have right along with it.
Are you series?
It’s expensive because the government got involved in it in the first place.
Get the government out of the business of healthcare, and truly make it market-driven, and the costs will go down.
But that means that the government has to concede some power, can’t have that now, can we?
Because there is no other step. American healthcare is an expensive, unreliable mess right now.I'm wondering if imposing yet *more* govt on the healthcare industry/market as well as the insurance industry/market is the answer. Can we just once try getting govt *out*? Eliminating regulations, quit subsidizing, let the market stand on it's own?
I'm not so sure anyone needs to come up with a different scheme. I'm more comfortable with gaining a majority in both houses and immediately start repealing just about *everything* from FDA regs for food & drugs to eliminating entire agencies from BATFE to Dept of Ed, Energy, Interior, etc. As far as those "marketplace" environments, let them police themselves -- especially Agriculture.
And here's a security/enforcement example: Why do we need the TSA? I know that our society as a whole consists a huge majority of wusses who always look to "someone else" to solve their problems for them, but I can not imagine any scenario where if someone tried something on a plane in today's world, where two or more other passengers wouldn't take care of the problem. I would almost dearly love for some gomer to try something on one of my flights. So, why do we need the TSA?
Don't get me started. I just think we need FAR LESS govt; not more. Of course, other opinions will likely vary.
