Hi
During the presidential campaign all we heard from both sides was the number (estimate) of uninsured people in the United States. This was described as a national disgrace. I would like to point out some things which our friends in the mass media, the politicians and most pundits did not tell. Was this done on purpose?
The almost agreed upon number of uninsured is 25 million people. The democratic party argued who could insure more, each candidate claiming his/her plan was better. What was never said is far more meaningful than what was said.
Did anyone give a breakdown of how many of these uninsured are illegal immigrants,if so, I did not her about it, did you? Is there any sane person out there who believes that we "owe" health care insurance to illegals? I know I don't. No politician ever mentioned this fact. Hmmm. It did not suit the approach to getting elected, tell them what they want to hear, nothing else. If we add the cost of this insurance to our budget what is the effect? Did anyone mention that it would be staggering when added to the stimulus packge and the big pork bill which congress has passed. Grab your wallet. here comes the change Obama promised,the tens in your pocket will become ones.
Even if we could afford to insure these people financially, the net question deserves comment. I want everybody to just imagine the following scenario, we add 25 million new patients but not any new doctors. Where does health care go - 2 places. Doctors will start by giving less of their office visit time to each patient and thus health care will suffer. If the doctor doesn't cut the office visit time he has no alternative than to extend the time between visits. Rationing anyone? Where are these charlatans who pose as political candidates? I did not hear a peep from either party on this matter. If this is allowed to take place just stop to think who will suffer most, the senior citizens. The rationale will be they are old and have lived their lives, the younger people need health care because they are the future. Do you want your mother or father to be considered in this manner? Where were (are) the politicians? No where in sight, the truth hurts, so hide it.
With the overload of patients one of the first areas to suffer is the specialized medical treatment area. Things like MRI,CAT Scans, etc will be delayed until the patient is either dead or the result of the scan is too little too late. Who suffers, your mother or father. Where is the AARP on this matter? Isn't this what that organization was formed for? Come on AARP lobby for the people, not your political agenda.
I notice that Obama and the congress are trying to push through this legislation without the established Senate rule of a filibuster. Here the ypocracy really reeks. Senator Dodd used his powers to filibuster the attempt by then President Bush to reign in the abuses which caused the financial meltdown. Dodd is nothing but a greedy, selfish and arrogant politician, a cheap character who wears expensive suits, styles his hair and then goes around pontificating about how good he is for the people. We need more like him in congress hahaha.
One thing we can do is contact our elected officials and fight his attempt to further erode the power of the American people. Please do so and ask your friends and relatives to join in on the chorus. We need it.
One more thing that I always ask for is your prayers for our brave miitary.
GOD Bless
