Destroying Health Care in America

Fascism, through severe economic and social regimentation and the forced suppression of any opposition, is easily discerned in our post-9/11 environment, the political correctness movement and in recent decisions by the federal courts. One clear example of the authoritarian nature of the movement was President Clinton's proposed health care program.

Cradle to Grave Health Care - Health care with the efficiency of the postal service and the compassion of the IRS.

Clinton's proposed Health Security Act would have converted 1/7 of the nation's budget into a health bureaucracy, the freedom to choose physicians and to pick a desired treatment were vitually eliminated. In addition, those who disobey the system would receive harsh punishment. According to Bill Clinton, his health care legislation would have "criminalized" most avenues patients and doctors could take to obtain and supply health care outside the plan.

  • For example, parents who pay for their child's medical care not covered by the Clinton health care plan or "alliance" could have be convicted of criminal bribery and graft and fined or imprisoned.
  • Doctors who cooperate with such parents could also be imprisoned.
  • Even citizens who use their own money to avoid waiting lists and rationing could be sent to jail.
  • President Clinton's health-reform plan would have required every American to carry a health identification card bearing a tracking id that could be used for computerized tracking of medical or insurance records. But some worry that this could jeopardize the confidentiality of a patient's medical history.

Democrats and Republicans alike are plotting to completely destroy private health care in America and allow for the federal takeover of this industry. Every plan being proposed requires certain things of every citizen. One plan requires, mandatory preventative visits to the doctor. Another requires that proof of health care must be rendered before a citizen can be hired on a job. Every program requires that all citizens have some form of health care that is regulated by the government. In addition, each program places several regulatory requirements on the health care industry itself which, at least for the moment is still under the private sector. For each of these proposed health care programs we as citizens are being told that we must relinquish regulatory control of an aspect of our personal life, namely health care, to the control of the Federal Government.

In the wake of their failure to pass a National Health Insurance plan, socialists are touting their success in passing Health Insurance Reform in the form of the Kennedy/Kassebaum Act. In a clear violation of the Tenth Amendment, this Act gives the Federal government powers reserved for the states. It does not allow states to pass their own Health Insurance plans, states are only required to do what the Federal government allows them. Their state plans must pass muster by the Department of Health and Human Services or be forced to revert to Federal insurance.

Medicare

President George W. Bush drained the fiscal resources of Medicare by forcing it to compete with subsidized private insurance plans which are allowed to arbitrarily select or not select those they will cover; failing to provide reasonable levels of reimbursements to Medicare providers, thereby discouraging providers from participating in the program, and designing a Medicare Part D benefit without cost controls which allowed pharmaceutical companies to gouge the American taxpayers for the price of prescription drugs. The President created, manipulated, and disseminated information given to the citizens and Congress of the United States in support of his prescription drug plan for Medicare that enriched drug companies while failing to save beneficiaries sufficient money on their prescription drugs.

Who are the winners and losers?

The winners are the Insurance companies, the Pharmaceutical companies, and the federal government.
The losers are American citizens.

Americans lose because both the quality of their health care will continue to erode as the price will continue to increase.

Real health care reform will only come when we get back to the Constitutional principle of limited government and get the government, lawyers, and the courts out of our health care decisions. So long as they are allowed to make our health care decisions, the ONLY criteria for health care providers will be greed.
