Every dollar the government taxes from
us or spends is a drag on the economy, not to mention all the rules
and regulations that make business more expensive. Right now,
individuals and corporations are paying out the nose for various
Obamacare taxes: it is vacuuming up all the loose money, money which
our economy needs to grow and create jobs.
There is an old joke: if you think it
is expensive now, wait till the government makes it free. Right now,
today, health insurance premiums across the board (assuming your
policy has not been canceled) are going up in order pay for all of
the freebies that Obamacare will supposedly give out. Worse, the
benefits have yet to flow to the poor.
Yes, medical care is a terrible
financial strain for poor families and the elderly. The reason it is
so is because a huge government bureaucracy controls much of it. To
paraphrase one of the greatest presidents of all time: government is
the problem, not the cure. Obamacare, yet even more government
bureaucracy, will not reduce its cost or increase availability.
The real solution to expensive health
care costs is corporate America. Try: healthcare clinics in Walmart
supplying routine medical care inexpensively while you shop for
groceries, clothes, fishing poles, and really ugly lampshades, not to
mention birth control pills for $20 a month, or getting flu shots for
$30 at Safeway or Walgreens. Why not commoditize medical care, like
we did to PCs or TVs or sneakers?
