Well! You know who is in the news-again, pushing her health care programs. It just never seems to end. Why do these lame minded politicians always try to force their failed health care programs upon the public? Their health care programs are worthless at best!? Social health care doesn’t work according to their plans. Care of this order should be the responsibility of the family first, and then religious organizations next. Government should only take a hand when all else fails. And; this will prove costly if the government becomes involved.
When social minded architects become involved in cradle to the grave care, it will result in a social disaster. We already have enough social programs at work in this country as it is.
1. We have free public education. That's socialism. It means government -- that is, the people -- has decided education is so important for the nation's well-being that every kid ought to have it. The grade level of this so-called free education is only C level. This grade level is the same at the college level also. With C grade graduates what's the future of this country going to be? Dumbed down at best!
2. In 2006 patients will pay a $35 monthly premium and a yearly deductible of $250. This will cover 75 percent of the cost of drugs, up to $2,250 a year. (Thus a sizable chunk will come from the patient.) And then you find out-Above the $2,250, Medicare pays nothing until the patient has forked over $3,600 out of pocket. At that point Medicare pays 95 percent.
Someone always has to pay for educational programs, even if they fail. Someone has to pay the medical costs, even if the deductible is paid by the patients. That someone is the taxpayers! And with no end in sight! How much more are you willing to pay for an increase in socials programs that have already failed? Believe me; your taxes will increase now!
Remember the Clinton health care plan? I’ll refresh your memory!
Under Clinton's plan, you will automatically be enrolled in a government-run "health alliance." Clinton's plan states:
"It is the obligation of every eligible individual to enroll in a health plan. Anyone who does not meet the established deadline for enrollment automatically is enrolled in a health plan when he or she seeks medical care. Regional alliances assign patients who do not seek enrollment to a health plan; they automatically assign any newborn infant who is not enrolled through his or her parents to a plan."
Once you are enrolled, "health-providing institutions . . . would send all patients through medical 'gatekeepers,' who would decide what care people really need." If they decide you are too old, too sick, or too politically incorrect to be treated, they will have the power to deny you treatment, no matter what the consequences.
But regardless of how little treatment you get or how bad it is, you will still be required to pay Clinton's new health-care taxes-forever. And there's no limit on how high those taxes can be .
If the states don't obey the federal government's mandate to impose the health-care taxes Clinton wants, then, without Congressional approval :
"The Secretary of the Treasury will impose a payroll tax on all employers in the state. The payroll tax shall be sufficient to allow the federal government to provide health coverage to all individuals in the state and to reimburse the federal government for the costs of monitoring and operating the state system."
You think the Republican Administration was bad…
