In Bush' first year he cut real medicaire payments to doctors for all procedures by 5% across the board. In his 2'nd year he cut many procedures by more than 5%, up to 30% even, the cuts were uneven, but just as significant. Many doctors now refuse to take medicaire patients as a result. Everyone who knows anything about this medical industry understands that it is in crisis because we as a society are becoming unable to afford it. Even the lowest technician feels this in his gut. And that is exactly what I said in my statement above. When you deny these obvious facts, then you're showing us all how you're just plain in denial. Bush cheerleaders have a higher priority in their politics than america's welfare. They think about beating the democrats. They think about elevating their idol to a super-human level. They do not care about america.
The poverty rate in america registered it's first increase at any time outside the 1930's in 1968. This was 1 year after the 'war on poverty' began. The poverty rate continued to go up until the early 1980's. Then we made gains again in bringing poverty down under Reagan. Then, when the first King George came in, poverty went up again. Today it is still higher than what it was in 1965. The fact that it has been taboo to talk about this in the media ever since 1970 should speak volumes to the american sheeples.
Decisions were made throughout the 1970's by our government to destroy industry after industry with regulation. The people who ran those industries tried to tell us horror story after horror story after horror story about run-amok regulations from washington that senselessly killed these industries frequently with no gain at all to the environment. Just senseless killing of industry by government. Classic example was the nuclear power plant construction industry. We can't build nuke plants in the US any more because of stupid regs, unlike all other countries on earth.
Sheeples cover their eyes, cover their ears, cover their mouths, see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil. Even while the government steps on them and their progeny. The sheeple can't figure out what's happening. They worship bush and they crave more, like an S&M pervert.
Nobody contributed more to this downward trend in american incomes than the first King George. That man imposed regulations on our economy that couldn't have been made by an intelligent group of people unless it was their goal to destroy our standard of living. That's how bad the first Bush was on the economy. So, I storngly suspect on this board that worship for republicans and george bush is the key reason why some are in denial.
Soooooooooooooo, you little Socialist, want the government to be mommy & daddy to all and supply everyone with their medical needs taken care of, do you ? Shame on you !
There are many and varied reasons that ALL medical procedures and supplies are expensive today. Health care used to be out of reach / put people in hock / destituted them, for most of our nation's history. What first started the spiralling costs, were, the UNIONs demand of employers, to GIVE health insurance ( in the begining, for a pittance and then for FREE ) to the workers. Try keeping to historical facts.
Before recent government regulations on industries ( and there have ALWAYS been some regulations; look it up ! ), the UNIONS managed to take out many industries; steel, for instance, dear, with their ever increasing, stweetheart deals and outrageous demands and strikes.
You abject lack of knowledge, coupled with you paranoid hatred for anyone named Bush, is interesting...in a purely sociologial way. Abherent mental disease is fascinating. You are supplying much evidence , for those interested in that topic. Luaghs too; even though it is bad manners to laugh at the afflicted. ROTFLMSO
