Healthcare Has Become Health & Wealth Careless In The U.S.

Now, more than ever, our American healthcare system is costing us more than it ever has in world history. Worse still, our access to this service has been more limited, creating the perfect storm of expensive, low quality care.

But WAIT! I thought the government intrusion method would save us all from certain doom. After all, Uncle Sam has done wonders with our public education system & Veterans Administration… D’OH !!!!

The sad truth is, we have been swindled again on several fronts by our own so called public servants. It’s a simple matter of the old proverb: Easy come, easy go. The government cannot be trusted with the responsibility of caring for America. They never have to earn the business by competing with other health services, they simply steal the money from taxpayers & make their own rules.

Sob Story Short Sellers

These crafty creatures create the false narrative of government dependence using the easy targets of health & education to tug at our heart strings. They tell us that our children need a public education, or future generations will be somehow more stupid. Then they convince us that the poorest in our ranks will be in danger of premature death if the Feds don’t dispense the healthcare service, because the “evil” private sector doesn’t care about people. This would all make sense, if it wasn’t actually a false idea which runs counter to human nature & collapses under it’s own ignorance.

It might work out better if their rules were actually rooted in common sense, but that is too much to ask of our GIVERment. These feds are giving out money & services without adequate accountability, & that adds up to nothing but trouble! They gave us the sob story of too many Americans without insurance, & then promised to fix this problem by adding millions of non paying customers to the rolls without a way to cover the increased cost.

The truth is, there is NO WAY to lower healthcare costs when you increase welfare recipients. They tried the mandate, attempting to force hard working citizens to pay the tab, but that still could not cover the gap in cost & coverage.

Folks, there is only one way to tackle this issue, & you won’t find the answer in our dysfunctional Congressional sessions. It’s time for the invisible hand of commerce to work out the kinks, & restore order in this universe.

Why Do We Make Healthcare A Government Priority?

The choices we make as consumers should be no different with health concerns as it is with our grocery shopping or any other purchases we make. So, why does our public leadership separate certain goods & services to control at such a high degree. The Fed now has the reigns on more of our money, nearly 20% of our entire economy earmarked for healthcare, yet the system is failing. Likewise, our public education system is in dismal disarray, yet we keep funding it by the tax loads.

You can spend a million dollars on band-aids to cover a bullet wound, but the patient will still bleed to death without the proper treatment. Right now, we are sticking an overpriced bandage on a deep puncture, & it will never work. It’s time to stop giving our public system so much money, & let the market take care of this. Scrap the whole thing!

SOLUTIONS

Increase competition in the health care market. Remove and/or reduce restrictions across state lines for insurance coverage, forcing the insurance industry to lower cost & improve service.
Stop attaching insurance to employment for lower costs. The state line easing of restrictions will help to mitigate this need for employer based group rates.
Attractive tax incentives for health savings accounts, which can be passed on to beneficiaries with no tax penalties.
Drastically increase accountability in all areas of welfare service. Any frivolous demands for healthcare by welfare recipients will be met with punitive deductions from the recipient’s welfare payments. Any healthcare service provided will cost the recipient a percentage of their welfare disbursement, commensurate with their particular needs.
Allow the market to devise a wise plan, emphasizing a solid catastrophic plan, which is generally less expensive than comprehensive & largely unnecessary care.
State and/or federal healthcare lottery, where all net funds go to the healthcare system, & a minimum percentage of winnings must be escrowed for the winner’s lifetime healthcare costs.
Use existing & emerging technologies to streamline the cost of providing health service, such as virtual visits by doctors via internet, cutting the cost for travel & infrastructure.
Encourage insurance companies to create a health savings plan for their clients, in conjunction with the catastrophic plan, which benefits everyone’s bottom line.
Re-introduce the truth into the American consciousness that free healthcare is not a right, & all citizens must be responsible for their own lives, better prepared for anything that may come along.

The bottom line is this:

As I get older, I have learned this one powerful principle that works famously as well as anything else.

If you don't need it, don't buy it.

Sure, the concept of thriftiness is not so sexy, but it has gravitas. It simply WORKS! It allows you to use your freedom in a responsible fashion, which embodies the spirit of America itself. The problem is, we give our government too much of our hard earned money, & it’s SO EASY for them to spend someone else’s cash !!!

We live in a nation grounded upon freedom based principles. With great liberty comes great responsibility for yourself & your family, NOT for all others, many of which waste our resources. When each person is allowed to take care of their own, & not forced to pay for waste, fraud, & abuse, efficiency rules, & prosperity results. It IS what made America the greatest nation in world history, & will make us great again!

Health Careless

The left wing brainwashed masses responded with fierce opposition to the newly crowned Miss USA, Kara McCullough, for telling them the TRUTH!

During Sunday’s pageant, she brilliantly replied to a question about the dissemination of health care to Americans, as a right or privilege.

Her answer:

I’m definitely going to say it’s a privilege. As a government employee, I am granted health care and I see first-hand that for one to have health care, you have to have jobs.

So therefore, we need to continue to cultivate this environment that we’re given the opportunity to have health care as well as jobs to all American citizens worldwide.

Almost immediately, the social media justice warriors took to the Twittersphere to attack her premiss.

Miss DC was my fav but… not after that answer. Everyone has a right to healthcare. #MissUSA

Why Can’t It Be A Right?

This battle between entitlement & rationality is an important fight for many reasons, & we need to understand why health care service cannot be forced upon caregivers without fair compensation.

First, it is clear that doctors have taken a hippocratic oath to serve all of those in need, without prejudice, & this is a wonderful thing. However, that solemn promise is a moral agreement, not to be legally attached to a contract, bound by government edict.

Second, if you are such an avid advocate of compulsory health care, would you also favor a law which says you must provide special care for those in your neighborhood who can’t take care of themselves? What if there was such a law, & every opportunistic skid rower knew they could force you to take care of them? Never mind you just had to make costly repairs on your home, taking out a loan just to finance this need. This scenario is EXACTLY what is happening in healthcare today!

There is a very good reason to separate the “church” of a doctor’s oath from the “State” of a taskmaster’s whip.

Just as you pay for everything you need to take care of your family’s needs, so do healthcare professionals. Our doctors, nurses, & technicians spent countless hours & dollars to gain the skills they need to take care of you, & they are worthy of their hire. Would you spend years & piles of money to educate yourself for a great job, only to be told you must work for FREE, or at the very least, far under your commensurate salary for that job?

Barbarians At The Gate

Then, add to this situation the foolishness of bandits who abuse their bodies daily, & leave the rest of us with the bill when they want us to bail their broken bodies out. The costs of tobacco use & abuse of drugs has taken its toll on this country’s wallet, & it’s time to cut off the addicts from the well. Those who are in favor of taxpayers footing the bill for pre-existing conditions should be forced to pay for someone who smoked all their life & now has a $5,000 per month disease.

The idea that providing free care is a right, is INSANITY !!!

American tax dollars are limited, & we simply cannot afford to give healthcare away at no cost to every man, woman, & child. Even if we taxed the wealthiest corporations 100% of their revenues, there is still not nearly enough to give away free healthcare as a ‘RIGHT.’

Simple Solution

Therefore, the solution to healthcare in America is simple:

Take care of yourself with prudence, as much as you can, & when you cannot, humbly request service from a doctor who will keep their covenant with God to help you.

But, do not arrogantly assert your care as a freedom, because it is not. It is a service, just as any other you receive in the marketplace, & you have a responsibility to pay your service provider, just as YOU are paid for doing your job…

(CNN) – Miss USA: Health care ‘a privilege,’ not a right

The newly crowned Miss USA is attracting attention after arguing that health care is “a privilege” for working people, not a right for all American citizens.

Kara McCullough, a physical scientist at the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, was asked Sunday during the Las Vegas pageant’s question-and-answer section if “affordable health care for all US citizens is a right or a privilege.”

“I’m definitely going to say it’s a privilege,” the 25-year-old said. “As a government employee, I am granted health care and I see first-hand that for one to have health care, you have to have jobs.”

“So therefore, we need to continue to cultivate this environment that we’re given the opportunity to have health care as well as jobs to all American citizens worldwide,” she added.

McCullough, who represented Washington, DC, in the pageant, attracted quite a bit of social media pushback from those who believe that health care is a right that should be granted to all American citizens.

“Miss DC was my fav but… not after that answer. Everyone has a right to healthcare. #MissUSA,” user Charlsley tweeted.

The US Senate is currently negotiating plans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act after the House passed its own version of legislation.

The Trump administration said last week that it is open to letting states impose work requirements, premiums and co-pays on some low-income adults receiving Medicaid, the government program that provides health insurance to poorer Americans.

Should Healthcare Be An American Obsession?
