Universal Healthcare aka government run healthcare.

Think about it….companies shop around for the best deal on insurance on behalf of their employees. They do this to keep the cost down. If the government offers lower cost health care than private insurers, just watch how fast companies don’t offer insurance anymore. This will improve the companies’ bottom lines. And private insurance will then basically have to go away because people, looking for the best deal, will buy into the government’s plan. Insurance companies can’t offer group pricing for health care when there is no one in the group. So, private insurance companies will not be able to compete. All this sounds OK so far, right? Lower cost health care for everyone! Wrong. First thing that will happen is the government will raise taxes to cover the expense of treating everyone. Even after raising taxes, when the gov’t figures out that they can’t afford to pay for every person that wants to be checked for a cold, or a sports injury, or needs a knee replaced, or bypass surgery, they will start finding ways to deny service. The UK already does this. They are denying smokers bypass surgery and overweight people hip and knee replacements claiming that their “lifestyle choices” are what created the need for treatment. The other side of this is that the government will start mandating how much it will pay for service. This will cause hospitals to lose income. And physicians, surgeons, anesthesiologists, etc. will all have to take pay cuts. People who wanted to be doctors may pick a different career path because of this. Doctors, lawyers, baseball players, football players etc. may get into their field because they love it, but they stay because they get paid enormous sums of money. So, while the messiah says that the government isn’t going to take away your option to keep your current health care, he’s not being totally honest. He knows that companies will dump the costs of healthcare leaving the employees with very few options, one of which is the government’s plan. And my prediction is that if that happens, if the only real option for health insurance is the government plan…it won’t be too long before the government passes a law that says you have to buy it. I’ll leave you with this thought…If a doctor has the opportunity to treat someone who will pay out of their pocket for care at a rate higher than the insurance would pay, don’t you think he’ll take that patient and put that patient in front of all other patients? (This happens in the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia.) So there’s another “new law opportunity” for Congress.

    These politicians voted Against the Nathan Deal Amendment, that would Prevent Health Care Benefits to Illegal Aliens. Simply put–it’s not their BLOODY MONEY! So what! Do they care if taxpayers have to foot the behemoth bill, for anybody who snubs our laws and enters a sovereign country called America? The nationwide parasites are –CHEAP LABOR–businesses who could care less, because they pile up enormous profits. The corporate hierarchy have been having a field day–FOR DECADES. A foreign national gets hurt, their service manager or whoever the underling is, drives the maimed person and relinquishes any responsibility by dumping them on the emergency hospital entranceway. BINGO! nothing to pay!

    Perhaps Americans should find some old shoddy clothes, no shave, no haircut and enter every emergency room in our country in the millions? Speak a lot of gibberish and carry no identification with a small splinter in their finger, a touch of a fever or any minor condition. By federal law the hospital will have an emergency on a–EMERGENCY. I am afraid Americans have been Lemmings going over a proverbial cliff, since who knows when? We just keep paying and paying even more to the IRS, to support–ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Try getting free health care in any other country, other than societies in the European Union? A FAT CHANCE! We are literary being taxed to death, to give welfare to the business overlords.

    Even our Democrats who are trying to engineer health care for every American—INCLUDED 20 PLUS ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR LARGE FAMILIES. Here are 29 Judas Iscariot’s, who sold the American people out–for a lot more than 13 pieces of silver? HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR. Capps (D-CA), Eshoo (D-CA), Harman (D-CA), Matsui (D-CA), McNerney (D-CA), Waxman (D-CA), DeGette (D-CO), Murphy (D-CT), Castor (D-FL), Rush (D-IL), Schakowsky (D-IL), Braley (D-IA), Sarbanes (D-MD), Markey (D-MA), Dingell (D-MI), Stupak (D-MI), Pallone (D-NJ), Weiner (D-NY), Butterfield (D-NC), Space (D-OH), Sutton (D-OH), Doyle (D-PA), Gordon (D-TN), Gonzalez (D-TX), Green (D-TX),Welch (D-VT), Christensen (D-VI), Inslee (D-WA) and Baldwin (D-WI). I’m afraid I would be banned if I used the right epithet, when leaving a comment for these so called lawmakers?

    These are the betrayers of–ALL–taxpayers. These 29 traitors gave illegal immigrants the right to pilfer your billfold and purse, while they sit in their Washington office collecting their 6 figure salaries. REMEMBER THEM AND THROW THEM OUT! DEMAND NO AMNESTY! NO FAMILY UNIFICATION KNOWN AS CHAIN MIGRATION! BUILD THE ORIGINAL FENCE! NO MORE HEALTH CARE OR ANY OTHER KIND OF BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
