It seems to me that the people I talk with have come to the conclusion that one day -- probably soon - we will have "universal" health care for every American. Of course this will be set-up and run by the federal government of the United States of America.
Have we lost our marbles?
Can you imagine the federal government, you know the ones who totally botched the New Orleans Katrina crisis running the health care system in this country? Will liberals think about this for a moment, please? One cannot place the entire blame on the White House for the mess in New Orleans post-Katrina. The president is of course the leader of the country, but let's face it, he is still one man -- one lonely man I imagine.
A lot can be blamed on the fact of government bureaucracy. It is sickening, it is damaging, indeed as we saw in New Orleans, it is deadly.
Now, think of the same bureaucracy "managing" health care for you and me and our families. Medicare is already a nightmare to try and figure out; medicaid is a simply a nightmare (a costly, irresponsible one at that).
It is easy to see who will suffer the most in "universal health care" in this country -- the middle class tax payer. The hard working American, the ones that have made this country the greatest on earth will always get the shaft from our government. It is a shame. It makes my head and stomach hurt to think about it all. Too bad I can't take the time off work ( I gotta pay my insurance premiums) to go stand in line at the doctor's office -- behind the people that I am already paying for their health care.
