- 100% OF WORKING AMERICANS PAY INTO MEDICARE AND MEDICAID.
- ONLY A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF AMERICANS DRAW OUT OF THESE PROGRAMS.
- AND YET, THEY'RE RUNNING BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN THE RED.
- IF THE WHOLE NATION WAS ON MEDICARE, THE POLITICIANS WOULD HAVE TO RAISE THE CURRENT TAX AND START NEW ONES - LIKE THE VAT, OR NATIONAL SALES TAX --- LIKE THEY DO IN EUROPE.
- AND IN EUROPE - WHERE THEY TAX THE CRAP OUT OF YOU AND EVERYTHING YOU HAVE - THEIR HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS STILL RUN IN THE RED. BIGTIME RED.
- YOU CANNOT TAX PEOPLE AT A HIGH ENOUGH RATE TO PAY FOR POORLY MANAGED "THIRD-PARTY PAY" HEALTHCARE - WHICH IS WHAT ALL POLITICIAN-DESIGNED AND GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTHCARE DEVOLVES INTO.
- IF YO COULD, THEN BRITAIN AND FRANCE AND GERMANY AND ITALY - AND THE USSR! - WOULD ALL HAVE GREAT HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS DELIVERING GOOD CARE FOR ALL AND NOT RUNNING IN THE RED.
- BUT THE TRUTH IS, THEIR HEALTHCARE SUCKS COMPARED TO OURS: THE USA HAS HEALTHIER PEOPLE LIVING LONGER LIVES.
- POLITICIAN DESIGNED, GOVERNMENT RUN, AND TAXPAYER FINANCED (AND HENCE "THIRD PARTY PAY") GOODS OR SERVICES OR SYSTEMS CAN NEVER BE AS EFFICIENT OR AS COMPETITIVE AS PRIVATE SYSTEMS.
- ONLY COMPETITION CREATES EVER-INCREASING VALUE AND SERVICE.
- WE NEED MORE COMPETITION IN THE HEALTHCARE MARKETPLACE, NOT LESS.
- OBAMACARE WOULD TAKE US IN EXACTLY THE WRONG DIRECTION.
- GOOD REFORM WOULD INCLUDE: TORT REFORM; MEDICAL SAVINGS ACCOUNTS; INTERSTATE COMPETITION; AND RELAXED MANDATES - AND VOUCHERS FOR THOSE IN NEED.
- IT WOULD BE SIMPLER AND WOULD ACTUALLY LOWER COSTS AS IT IMPROVED CARE.
- OBAMACARE WILL INCREASE COSTS, INCREASE WASTE AND DECREASE CARE.
THOSE WHO SAY MEDICARE IS MORE EFFICIENTLY RUN WITH A LOW OVERHEAD THAN PRIVATE INSURANCE ARE DUPES OR LIARS.
MEDICARE RUNS A HUGE BILLION DOLLAR PLUS DEFICIT. THAT'S NOT EFFICIENCY. IT'S MISMANAGEMENT.
THERE'S NO REASON TO EXPECT A BIGGER GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM TO BE ANY BETTER; THERE IS EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE IT WILL BE WORSE.
