The government takeover of healthcare would mean the single largest lifestyle change for the American people ever. Obama’s healthcare plan would mean that the United States would become a socialistic society. Socialism is a step away from Communism in which the government forces the people to do what the government wants them to do. You’ve seen it in Russia, China, Cuba and North Korea. The system doesn’t work because it destroys free market thinking, the thinking the US was built upon, and makes for no incentive to be productive. Ultimately prices go up and productivity goes down.
The system we have right now is overpriced because of the government regulations we already have. With the new plan the cost of healthcare is not going to go down, we are just going to be forced to have the system the government chooses. This instead of the private insurance, free market system, we currently have. Look at other countries with a National Healthcare System like the UK and Canada. The quality of healthcare goes down. You are put on a waiting list to see a doctor. It could take weeks, months even years. And in some cases if you are over age 70 you are told you cannot get the life saving procedure you need and instead may even be given counseling on how to commit suicide. Speaking of life saving procedures, if a citizen of these countries really needs an important procedure to save their life where do they go? The US. So now where are we going to go?
This government healthcare is a terrible, terrible idea. Right now, the United States leads the world in medical technology. This would all change with the Obamacare plan. There are ways to make healthcare more affordable without going to a socialistic system run by the government. Think about it. Anything run by the government, is it more efficient and more inexpensive to run? No it causes bureaucracy and is the most inefficient way to run a system. This is because incentive is taken away. Look at the mail service compared to UPS or Fed Ex. The free market method is the most efficient and effective way.
Obama is basically saying, I would like every American to be able to afford a $60K Mercedes Benz. Sounds nice right? So if we lower the price of a Mercedes down to $10K what’s going to happen? The first year everything might seem great. After that, Mercedes is either going to go out of business, or the once high quality car will become more like a $10K car. It will eventually look, feel and drive just like a $10K car. “Money doesn’t grow on trees.” Remember hearing that growing up? It has to come from somewhere. Money basically represents your hard work in tangible form. Government healthcare means taxes. Higher and higher each year. And remember you can’t opt out of taxes. You take the service the government gives you and you pay them what they say you will. No more free choice.
Lets STOP this disaster from happening to the American people. For our children and our childrens children!
Write your representatives, it only takes 2 minutes (see below). And participate in town meetings, tea parties and even protests if needed. Our leaders need to know this is wrong, we do not want free America to become a socialistic society!!! Most importantly, tell others (republicans and democrats alike) what is really going on!
Feel free to forward this to everyone you know!
