June 6, 2009 was D-Day for Health Care Push!

OHB has the organizers out in full force to harass everyone to push Congress into passing the massive spending Health Care Insurance that is wrong for America at this time. 

President Obama says he’s open to requiring all Americans to buy health insurance………

I am not against everyone getting healthcare and everyone having availabilty to healthcare.  What I do object to is paying my hard earned wages to pay for others who refuse to do their part.  If you figure that 40% of American’s don’t pay taxes and of that 40% I am curious to find out how many of those are on Medicaid or whatever the State run Medicaid program is. 

I am against starting out further in debt that America is in.  Right now!  Right now we are borrowing to fun our country for our daily expenses, for our projects all over America, for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and then all the money we are throwing around the world to make people like us, and then lastly the Bailout and buying up the automakers and trying to take over the Banks. 

WE CAN’T AFFORD THIS AT THIS TIME!

Thnk about this…. Currently, Hospitals can not refuse care to anyone, that means the uninsured too.  Many hospitals have to write off costs of those visits.  If someone is in serious health, there are programs and other options for those.  What is it… the Medicaid program or State run Medicaid program, Charities, the Goodness of the people to donate to help another (American Spirit), their own funds (which we all have to use too). 

I wish it was possible but the priority at this time can’t be health care because we have already exhausted all our resources and then some.  You can’t start a huge program when you have no idea how you are going to pay for it.  

THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND WILL END UP with NO INSURANCE FOR EVERYONE if we stay this course. 

You also have to consider this, socialized medicine is government controlled.  Don’t be naive here, it would be nice to think that the Government is going to look out for the well being of you!  Let me tell you, they don’t know how!  This government is IRRESPONSIBLE witih the Taxpayers Money!  The money they are Borrowing from China!  The money they will essentially get from the Automakers if anyone buys those cars that they make.  If there is anything left.  This is going to be more expensive than anyone really knows.  Then of course we still don’t know how high the taxes on EVERYONE IS GOING!  Do you?

France Health System can’t afford it… Despite being expensive to maintain – the deficit is currently round about 6 billion euros – and under constant funding pressure the French healthcare service is still one of the best in the world, offering a wide choice of general practitioners and healthcare specialists.  Average annual per-person spending: Total: $3,374. Breakdown: $2,693 by government, $448 on private insurance, $233 consumer out-of-pocket*  Biggest challenges: Controlling costs, improving efficiency. Government currently cutting number of acute hospital beds and promoting computerized medical records to curb redundancy. Shifting some doctor duties to nurses.

Canada’s health care is government run too they have the same problem with serious issues in regard to timely healthcare.  Many factors combine to create the long waits that Canadians sometimes experience.  Experience shows that many Canadians automatically assume that children receive care on a priority basis. While this may reflect our common sense or shared values, the fact is that children’s hospitals and children’s health care generally do not fare better than adult care with respect to financial resources. 

Delays in scheduled care, or long waits for needed care, can present problems for adults and children alike. There is however a significant difference for children in that their growth and development is rapid. For some conditions the opportunity to intervene clinically or surgically is very brief – the window opens and closes quickly. To miss that opportunity is to miss getting the most from the procedure over time. Related to this are of course the social, educational and psychological effects associated with illness, hospitalization and the inability of the child to participate in the real work of growing up. The failure to progress with their cohort can affect a child’s life for a long time.

Britains is worse off than all thsoe and that is the model I think are going to follow, the doctors are government employees, More people to pay for, then to pay for the health then to ask permission to go to the Doctor, to get a X-Ray, or MRI or to even treat Cancer.  In Britain, the government provides the same level of care to everyone. It’s a system of rationing.  Britain’s National Health Service told him a man who was diagnosed with macolur degeneration that he would have to go blind in one eye before it would pay for treatment. Government doesn’t cover care that it deems cost-ineffective and some cosmetic surgery. Maintaining a steady source of government funding in the face of increasingly expensive treatments and drugs.  Average annual per-person spending: Total: $2,723. Breakdown: $2,371 by government; $352 on supplemental private insurance, OTC drugs, direct payments to doctors.

Japan’s health care system is pricey….  The first year on the NHI isn’t that expensive but many foreigners are shocked to see their National Health Insurance rates go through the ceiling their second year in Japan.  The insurance rates were based upon the past year’s income level.   Whether you want to be on one of the Japanese health insurance or pension plans or not, one thing is for sure, the system is failing. The recent loss of pension payment records, not just a few but millions, has opened many eyes as to how incompetent the system has become. The Japanese aging society is the most rapidly advancing one in the world.  Average annual per-person spending: Total: $2,358. Breakdown: $1,927 by government; $71 on private insurance; $360 consumer out-of-pocket  Financing: Employers and employees each required to pay approximately 4% of salary to nonprofit, community-based insurance plan. Public assistance for small businesses and the poor. Co-payments of 30% for outpatient care; 20% for hospitalization. Ceiling on out-of-pocket costs.

What happens if you are elderly?  Are they going to say no your going to die anyway, let them go.   There we go Managed healthcare.  Your life has a price.  How much suffering are you going to have to do to just get the decision No we aren’t going to treat you with that medicine because it is expensive and you’re going to die anyway.  Just die.   Sounds extreme but I have heard comments out of this President in regard to this.  Pay attention.  Is this what you really want? 

Think back when the Government forced you to have auto insurance: The government is forced us to buy a product from a private company?

President Obama says he’s open to requiring all Americans to buy health insurance, as long as the plan provides a “hardship waiver” to exempt poor people from having to pay…Obama has asked the House and Senate each to finish legislation by early August, so that the two chambers can combine their bills in time for him to sign a single, sweeping measure in October. In a statement Baucus welcomed the assignment.

Average Current U.S. annual per-person spending: Total: $6,402. Breakdown: $2,884 by government; $2,676 for private insurance, with 52% paid by employers, 48% paid by employees; $842 by consumer out-of-pocket*

EVERYONE!   You must all write your Senators and Representatives and say no!  We have a fight ahead because the left is very well organized. 

This will take the voice of all to get this stopped.

America can’t afford this!

We don’t need Government Managed Health Care!!!!
