Rationing of Healthcare
Posted on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 at 10:20 AM
June 23: President Obama gestures as he answers a question during a news conference at the White House in Washington (AP).
Before I dive into this I want to let y’all know that I’ll be cross posting my thoughts in a few places that I contribute to on the net. So if you see this post repeated then now you know why. I’m a contributor for two other blogs: BlogMommas.com and Plains Feeder.
This is where the whole rationing of healthcare comes into play. If you really stop to consider what Obama is trying to do it’s downright scary.
Obama: Health Care Reform Will ‘Absolutely’ Be Passed By End of Year
The other thing I don’t like about this healthcare mess is that he’s trying to rush it as if it’s going to turn into a pumpkin by the end of the year. Let’s talk about this healthcare overhaul and see if both sides can work together to come up with a plan that’s going to benefit everybody.
“I’m going to wait and see what ideas they come up with. I suspect that when they start seeing what the options are, they might end up concluding that the options we’re presenting are the best ones,” he said, adding that he would prefer to reduce tax deductions for the wealthiest to pay for the overhaul.
Why are we picking on the tax payers? Why are we picking on the people that employ our citizens? Why are we penalizing people for their success? Why should the wealthiest people of our country be responsible for this healthcare overhaul?
Obama also said he’s changed his mind on the issue of whether individuals can purchase health care — an idea he was resistant to during his presidential campaign.
“This is an area where people have made compelling arguments to me, that if we want to have system that drives down cost for everyone, we have to have healthy people not opt out of the system,” Obama told ABC.
So basically Obama lied to us when he said that we could keep our current healthcare plan if that is what we choose to do. Remember when he said that? He said that we could keep our doctors. We could stay on the health insurance plans that the companies we work for provide us with if we are happy with the care we are getting. Do you see what a LIAR Obama is? He has the audacity to tell me that I have to subscribe to the nation’s new government healthcare program. It’s not my choice any more.
The United States is the only developed nation that does not have a comprehensive national health care plan for all its citizens.
About 50 million of America’s 300 million people are without health insurance. The government provides coverage for the poor, disabled and elderly, but most Americans rely on private insurance, usually received through their employers. However, not all employers provide insurance and not everyone can afford to buy it on their own. With unemployment rising, many Americans are losing their health insurance when they lose their jobs.
The government can not be all things to all people in this country. The government is not the savior of it’s people. It’s the people that can figure this out and NOT the government. What the article forgot to mention is that while the government provides for the poor, disabled and the elderly… it doesn’t mention the poor quality of what the government has made available to these people. Also, our government is breaking the law and providing for people that are not here in this country legally.
I am not a mean person. I don’t want to see innocent children suffering at the hands of their parents and the decisions their parents made. I understand that many came from other countries that do not offer much hope or promise. But at the same time these people are breaking the law. The laws in this country are not being upheld and the American People are expected to bailout out the poor decisions of others.
We have an immigration problem in this country. If our current healthcare system is so flawed then why do people from other countries flock to the United States to receive that healthcare? Think about that for a half a millisecond.
If you are working for a company that doesn’t provide a healthcare plan then find another job. If you live in a state where the unemployment rate is high then move to Nebraska. I heard on the radio the other day that the employment rate here in Nebraska is the best in the nation and that unemployment is only at 4.4%
This administration is going to take what little quality of healthcare we have left and squash it like a bug. You kind folks out there that do not know what it’s like to be on government care have no idea what you are buying into when you listen to ever single word Obama has to say about it. I grew up on government healthcare and let me tell you, it SUCKS.
Scroll back up and click on the link I provided up there and read the article for yourself. If you are in the healthcare field I invite you to comment with your experience about what you know. You can comment anonymously if you’d like.
The scenario that comes to my mind when I think of healthcare being rationed is the pregnant mom due any day… she goes into labor… she’s at the hospital and the pain is excruciating and the doctor tells her how sorry she is that they can’t offer her an epidural because they are trying to cut costs. That’s just one example! I’m sure there are more examples out there. I’d like to read about those so if you have one please share it.
