For political purposes, President Obama has vilified insurance industry workers. He has demonized insurance companies. He has done this to promote his socialistic agenda. The truth is that for every dollar spent on health care in America, less than one penny goes toward health plan profits! The focus needs to be on the other 99 cents. The truth is that insurance helps millions of people to afford catastrophic health care expenses. The truth is, insurance underwriting practices that require individuals to be in good health when they buy coverage for future expenses is sensible. It is not a bad thing. The truth is, group insurance covers new employees regardless of their current health. The truth is our health care system is good and a cause for pride. The problem is costs are escalating so rapidly that some people cannot afford health care. That is what we need to address. We cannot afford to extend government health care to all the people who won’t or are unable to pay for it. That would bankrupt our already overextended government. Potentially, this would leave everyone without health care. Health care expansion is not the important issue. What we need to do is reduce the cost without increasing the bloated government.
In recent speeches, Obama has said that his bill will “bring down the cost of health care for millions.” “It will lower the long term deficit by a trillion dollars.” Does anyone believe this?? The President’s words seem to obscure the bill rather than clarify it. He has a growing credibility gap and the public does not trust him. His bill is not worth saving. Americans do not want this bill. The only people who don’t seem to be getting the message are Democrat Leaders. The priority list should be the Great Recession and two wars. Then, let’s concentrate on reducing the cost of health care. Recklessly extending health care to everyone would be a financial disaster. The President says he is fired up. I would like to fire him for lack of prudence and judgment! Just my opinion.
