"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. " - Thomas Jefferson
Leftists. Constantly. CONSTANTLY. Looking to government. Looking to bureaucracy. Railing against private industry - the very industry they want to FORCE 30 million people to participate in. Marching little boys in front of the camera with horrible sob stories. Don't you see how much they feel for this boy and his poor mother? It is all about how they feel. And by the way trust me, when the bill passes, you will like it! TRUST ME. TRUST GOVERNMENT. GOVERNMENT knows better than you, and those nasty executives who just sit around all and drip blood from their vampire fangs.
Why didn't the boy's mother apply for Medicaid? We already HAVE programs to protect people from this sort of medical situation. Why do we need to layer on more? Would more have saved her? Lets get to the bottom of this poor boy's situation. MILLIONS of Americans are ELIGIBLE for benefit and they don't even sign up. I am supposed to feel bad when they don't accept the aid we already have access to? What else can we POSSIBLY do? And don't think for a minute that if thie bill was enacted in force, that horrible things won't happen. They will. Only leftists believe that somehow taking more of our freedoms and our liberties will help this poor boy - oh and by the way give them WAY more power and influence. Just a coincidence mind you - they don't want all the power, but they will take it all to *ahem* help the poor boy.
I believe in American Exceptionalism.It isn't magic, it isn't spiritual, it isn't something in the water. It IS because we reject the notion that government CAN or SHOULD take care of us. We KNOW they can't. Private insurance needs reform, it needs to have incentives and COMPETITION to improve it. You cannot control something as complex and variable as Health Care with government. And stop your whole "the rest of the WORLD does it" stuff. Another constant refrain from someone who just deep down doesn't like this country. Guess what - horrible things happen there TOO. At huge cost in quality and access for ALL. We can fix what is wrong with the current system, giving more people access, lowering costs, and eliminating the pre-existing condition issue all without the intrusion, the centralized planning, and the socialist takeover.
Leftists have always seen socialist health care as the way to break the country. They don't care about deficits because they WANT to break the country's bank and remake it in a totally different way than it is now. Don't let them - or we will settle in to the morass of mediocrity and apathy that has taken over the rest of the socialized world.
