Obama’s Healthcare: Pay More, Get Less, More Gov Power, Raise Taxes
By Richard West on February 24, 2010, 7:53 amWhen President Obama speaks about health care what he’s really talking about is health insurance. There is a huge difference between insurance and care. Once again the health insurance lobby scores big and the cost is passed along to the crucified American.
Pay More – Get Less
Today we pay more premiums for health insurance and in return get less coverage and larger deductibles. The majority of Americans that file bankruptcy file because of medical costs. What most people don’t realize is that the bankruptcy filings are from insured Americans, not uninsured Americans. The additional costs of tests, x-rays, deductibles and uncovered expenses are driving the average insured American broke.
If Obama truly cared about health care he would start with preventive medicine, teaching healthy diets, encouraging exercise and covering all things naturopathic towards keeping us healthy. Instead it’s all about insurance, overpaid drug pushers called “doctors” and the biggest winners of them all – the big pharmaceutical companies and lobbyists.
Americans Are Hurting
With millions of Americans losing their homes, jobs and future security the last thing they need is higher premiums and more taxes. When they quote the consumer index they don’t mention that in order to consume one needs a good paying job and security. Our government has been busy bailing out (with our tax dollars) the same people that got us into this mess to begin with – Wall Street, the Bankers and Corporations. This new “healthcare” bill will only mean the taxpayer will also bail out the insurance companies who listed profits last year ranging from 50% to over 300%.
Paying more taxes or more premiums is not the answer. Our government is like a freight train of runaway spending. Wasting our dollars in illegal wars that are estimated to cost us $1 trillion is insane. What we need is to reign in government spending, end the wars, seal off our borders and stop outsourcing our jobs.

The cost of insurance is beyond the reach of the average American worker regardless of age. The only concern that the Gov. has at this point is who is going to pay for the cost of the illegal immigrants.
Until the immigration issue is resolved in this country, none of these other problems are going to be solved. Immigration has gotten out of control with all the free this and the free that, until there is not anything left. The job market, health care is broke, welfare is broke.
All the while, 535 yahoos in Congress can’t sit and see eye to eye on the most important issues at hand.
It is past time to go to work or go home.
Oh, and to illustrate exactly what an idiot you really are…
“If Obama truly cared about health care he would start with preventive medicine, teaching healthy diets, encouraging exercise and covering all things naturopathic towards keeping us healthy.”
That’s exactly what the health reform legislation does. Particularly preventive medicine.
Try reading the legislation before you open your lie-filled Republican fly trap.
It all boils down to “farming” people. Greed has caused America to no longer produce much of any “product”, so now YOU are the product. “Healthcare” is now a 2nd income tax in disguise (presently called a “penalty” which is as lame as the term “friendly fire”)… You are worth a lot to the multi-national corporations if you are alive but NOT well (vaccinated, drugged, recurrently sick, getting cut or burned or maimed because of diseased organs) because you “consume” resources. Your consumption now “stimulates the economy” which looks good for the puppets who are in-office at the time. And as long as you die by age 65 (soon to be age 70 – a la France) which is when you start to become a liability (Social Security), things are good for the puppetmasters. You are but a memory to your family… It does not have to be this way and there are steps you can take now to help excuse yourself from virtually all of the above (except death of course).
