Kill This Bill

America I want to ask you to take a deep breath. What I am about to talk about is driving me insane and I really cannot take this radical nonsense anymore. It comes down to one word “Socialism.” Well, with socialism I guess everyone needs to have healthcare. Now if you think that I think our health care system in the United States is stellar, you are wrong. I understand that there are 47 million uninsured Americans and the largest group is young Americans, and rates increase up to 25% a year. However, I do not believe that the only option is to create a government healthcare system that is controlled 100% percent by government. Sorry but I just have to go off topic for a slight second. I want to remind you of Amtrak, another government run disaster. When was the last time Amtrak broke even? They don’t need to know what profit means but let’s try to break even. Is this really who you want in charge of your vital health. When you look in depth at this bill, it really is not a good bill. Personally, I would not even carry health insurance. Under the bill if you do not carry insurance you get a fine of 250 dollars. Here is the flaw; insurance companies cannot turn someone down for a preexisting condition. Therefore, if I am uninsured and get sick I can go crying to the insurance company and they cannot turn me down. In the young sector of America, this would be very popular. Now that would drive premiums through the roof. Insurance expenses for Americans are increasing up to 25% a year, so yes I do recognize that there is a problem. I believe that we have already gotten a heads up of what is coming if this public option gets through. Let the limitations begin on healthcare. Look at the mammogram study that came out by the U.S Preventive Task Force (government) changed recommended age for screening from 40 to 50 years old. Statistics say this early detection of breast cancer allows for a higher chance of being cured. Can you scream taxes? If this bill gets through, we have to pay for it somehow. Many people will end up paying more for their health insurance then what they do currently, by paying more in taxes. Just take time to talk to a fellow Canadian friend. Most Canadians love their healthcare until something goes wrong with them personally. Canadians will wait months for surgeries that in America you can get within a week. Something’s need to happen instead of this public option, the first is allow people to go across state lines to get insurance. Going across state lines is a logical way to create competition. One of the main reasons for high healthcare prices is because of the price for doctors to practice. Doctors are being sued daily for unjustifiable malpractice acquisitions. We need to put a stop to these lawsuits to help bring down healthcare cost, or we could just ask the government to offer malpractice insurance. Actually, do not give them anyway to spend money because they will do it. Maybe the government should look into offering doctors malpractice insurance. These are just a few of the ways I want to change healthcare while keeping free enterprise open in the healthcare system. I think that was one of the things this country was founded on, just maybe. I am asking you to spread the message and think twice before you support this bill. Once again, I am well aware that this country needs some changes to our healthcare system but the proposed bill is not the solution. Our government obviously cannot run a business, so leave them out of healthcare. It is not our countries job to provide a healthcare and they owe us nothing more than FREEDOM.
