We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
does that mean that the United States Federal Government is responsible for the health of every single one of its citizens? That's a pretty broad definition and huge responsibility of the government to take on, and one that will cost the United States more than it can handle.
The argument is made that Massachusetts has 'Romney Care' State health care reform. But if Massachusetts wants to vote for the right to care for the citizens of its state, no matter how bad the law might be, the state can chose to do that. It should be a STATE responsibility to provide health care. Not a federal issue.
Under the mandated Obama Care, and with doctors possibly leaving the profession, and facing a shortage of doctors nationwide, the U.S will be in the same situation as other countries that have this 'mandated', 'socialized' health care. People will not be seen in a timely manner, and people will very likely die waiting for treatment.
Right Now the U.S has one of the best health care systems, people receive the best care. What will happen to treatment when the cancer patient no longer has private health insurance, what will happen when that person will not get treatment, whether it be surgery or chemotherapy treatments in time. People will die waiting for health care.
If we look at Obama's promise to provide every American with health care equal to what the members of congress have, we're looking at the cost of about 12,000 dollars a year per person. A plan like this would add billions to the already hefty tab that the U.S. pays.
And as it stands right now, seniors who are on fixed income have a higher out of pocket pay, and less options under Obama's health care plan. How is this bettering the system? Its not. And by the year 2017 the out of pocket costs are projected to be triple what they were in 2010-2011.
How is that helpful?
Simply put its NOT.
The estimated cost to the taxpayer right now is about 2 trillion dollars.
In short this is nothing more than another tax bill from the democratic party to the United States Citizens, that may or may not cover the cost.
My bet?
It won't cover the costs, and what will happen they'll be back asking for more money. But at what point will it be enough.
If 2 trillion dollars isn't enough for health care costs. Then how much is enough. Give us a number that won't change, so that we can look at the costs and put into perspective what we need to do to pay for the health care.
Better yet, repeal the health care and let individual states mandate health care should they deem it beneficial to the residents of that state. Let the states vote it in or out, not mandate it on a federal level.
Mandating health care like this by the federal government is a bad idea, because it is pushing us one step closer to socialism, and not the freedoms guaranteed to us by the U.S constitution.
Let's cut 2 Trillion from the national deficit and take the federal government off the hook for health care reform.
