healthcare

i get it ok. i get why this thing was proposed. or at least i get why they are saying it was proposed. i don't think anyone can deny that this is a scary step in the direction of outrageous government control. if it stopped here maybe i wouldn't be so adamantly against this thing. but it won't stop here.

that saying, i think i feel more passionately about this issue than i ever have about anything controversial. i believe what i believe for a reason but i also respect and am open to all opinions because everyone is valuable and their experiences and opinions are as well.

here are some points i would like to make regarding this issue:

first of all, everyone can pull up a statistic or manipulate data to prove whatever point they want to prove. this can and has been done with this issue. anyone that is educated about surveys and how they are run knows this. the research i have done has led me to believe that the life expectancy in nationalized health-run countries is less, that the C-section rate is more, and that the care is generally bad. i have also read and talked with people that tell me just the opposite. but i believe that both views have been gotten and slanted both ways to create a desired outcome.

yes, there is a problem with the existing system. but i don't believe that more government control with fix the problem. (look at the difference between US Postal Service vs FedEx and UPS-even Obama admitted this). it will only create more monitoring. it will do what some people are saying insurance companies are doing, which is denying care that some deem necessary. the only difference is that our government instead or our insurance companies will be denying us. The corruption will still be there. Whether it is doctors immorally suggesting treatment for money, or insurance companies denying legitimate claims, or the government treating us like numbers and managing our care and quality of care based on what they deem necessary, CORRUPTION WILL HAPPEN.

At the this point the argument arises that debates the inherent nature of humans. I believe that every person has the potential for incredible good or incredible evil. Evil however will always exist. Do we all sacrifice a little of who we are and what we believe for the greater good? Perhaps if the greater good was really greater.

This is being presented as equality and it won't be. There is no such thing as equality. Our individual health care WILL BE taken away. It is so naive to think that we will be able to keep it as an option in the long run. Throughout history this has proven to be true. The French Revolution came about because of the terrible injustice and inequality between the very rich and very poor. We all know that the exact same thing happened when the poor took over and tried to create an equal system. Equality could not exist because of corruption. Communism was another attempt to create equality. It didn't work because of corruption.

I have always said that Communism is a great idea if corruption and greed did not exist. It is a beautiful theory. But it isn't real. It will never happen because of the potential of human nature.

This will not work.
