The "reset button" for AMERICA

We as Americans realize two things when it comes to health care. One is that it is too expensive. The other is that it could use an overhaul, and a little streamlining.
Starting with the first; What makes health care so expensive is a very complicated issue. Most of the cost is on the provider side of the equation. The Doctor has to make enough money to cover all of his student loans, and still be able to make a living and provide for his family. Then, he, or she must pay for mal-practice insurance. I don't know if anyone other than a health care provider actually understands how ridiculously expensive that is. However, In this litigious society that we live in, it is a must. This expense for the Doctor is often so high that he or she cannot even afford to be in his or her own practice, and the insurance companies love that. This forces them to work in hospitals for less money, and makes them a "deeper pocket" from which to extort higher premiums, and pay higher awards for the frivolous suits. See how this all comes together?

There are ways to fix it though. one of the first steps would be to prevent frivolous law suits, and to cap awards on the ones that have merit, but are not severe, leaving the really serious cases without cap only. This would drastically lower the rates of this insurance for the health-care provider, and they would then be able to pass this savings down to the patient.

The problem with this is that the insurance companies, and the lawyers are making a killing with things the way they are. The lawyers make the money on the frivolous suits, and the insurers make a killing with the exorbitant fees they are charging the health care provider. The legal system makes tons of money with the filling fees and court costs associated with these suits, and the Federal Government gets its taxes from the award. They also have huge lobbying firms that are getting millions of dollars every year to make sure that this doesn't change in a way that will negatively reflect on their bottom line while everyone else in the equation is left to suffer its' negative effects on prosperity and society as a whole.

Even those of us who have health care benefits at work know that our cost for insurance is never paid in full by the employer, the balance of which is payed for by direct debit right from your paycheck. I know that I pay for my family coverage to the tune of $283.75 every pay period. That's almost $600.00/monthly !!! Yet I still need to reach a minimum, make co-pays and cover ridiculous deductibles. That is a Mortgage payment for allot of Americans. I know when I have trouble making ends meet, if it weren't for my son, I would cancel my coverage altogether and invest it, or pay my house off.

It is this anger, the anger of WE THE PEOPLE that is fueling this whole thing on Capitol hill. The bleeding heart Uber-left wing liberal socialists are using this as the impetus to drive a single payer, government run program down the necks of WE THE PEOPLE. They don't care if we choke on it. They believe that Government should take care of everyone, and that freedom of choice is not relevant to their cause. They will raise all of our taxes. The burden will ultimately fall on small business ( the source of almost 90% of all jobs in this country ), forcing the majority of the cost of this plan on them will not only put them out of business and allot of hard working Americans out of work, but it will also make entrepreneurs who want to start a business think more than twice about doing so. That means there will be less jobs available to all of us. Big businesses will move overseas faster than they already are, putting more people out of work. Our economy will come to a screeching halt. This along with CAP and TAX, will kill the Dollar, and usher in a world currency, with a global Government (probably run by the U.N. with the French in charge). Then it's bye-bye to our Constitution, and our whole way of life. 233 years and lots of blood spilled by our fathers to keep us free will have gone right in the toilet. My father-in law who fought in every major European campaign of WW-II is probably rolling in his grave and wishing he were buried on that beach in France ( They should all be speaking German ).

Our elected officials, and BHO in particular, swore an oath to protect and defend us from enemies foreign, and domestic. As far as I am concerned they have become this enemy and broken this oath or affirmation. This is the very meaning of treason. It is time to stand up and fight America, like my father-in law, and take our country back from the very people who wish to destroy our Constitution, and our entire way of life. I believe there is still time to do it peacefully, and legally, but we must do it quickly, and thoroughly, or even this option will be lost, and American blood will again have to be spilled on the very ground we walk on. Fertilizing the land of liberty so that we may once again live as a free people, far away from the oppression of taxation without representation and tyranny.
