In actuality, it has nothing to do with “health” and it will not accomplish any of advertised goals.

In return for swallowing this overpriced placebo, Americans will be guaranteed increased taxes, a destruction of good quality disease management, a slap in the face of hard working health personnel who are already doing a good job, a destruction of a market that needs health freedoms to introduce new health technologies, a Constitutional violation, and an increase in tyrannical government abuse on the majority of citizens who do not want participate in this failed approach to “health” care.

It used to be called the natural right to private property ownership. It can be found in Exodus 20:15 which says, “Thou shall not steal”.  It is also the basis of the US Constitution, which was originally written to protect the property rights of individual Citizens.

When it comes to their own money, Americans should be allowed the freedom to choose how they spend it.

It is wrong to confiscate hard earned property from Americans who want to use their own money to improve and preserve their own health rather than give it to the government to support an overpriced, rationed, and inefficient disease care system.

Common Sense Health

Instead of throwing around hot air, we should take a rational look at the problem and apply common sense solutions. 

We already had a workable disease care system in the US in the past.  Anyone who grew up in the 1950’s and 1960’s will remember a useful private system that was affordable. We still have a good disease care system, but it is now overpriced. To think that HR 3200 holds the magic key to improve a first rate disease care system that evolved over hundreds of years is fantasy. 

One of the differences between the current disease management system in the USA, and the one that vintage USA had, is the cost. So, before we address any other issue about health, cost is the one that we must address.

When a common sense approach is taken, we will determine that we have a good disease management care system and what we really need is insurance reform. There is no need to restructure our disease management. The 93% percent of Americans who are happy with the current system should not have to give up what they have. The 7% who want health insurance, but cannot afford it, should be able to apply for government assistance. That would be a lot less expensive and less abusive to America than HR 3200.

The Game of Hot Air

Does anyone remember the income tax?  Originally, it was a flat tax. Very few people were liable to pay it. The average rate was 1%, and it had a maximum rate of seven percent for the really rich folks.

Does anyone remember Social Security?  Finally, it has been exposed as the greatest Madoff (formerly Ponzi) scheme that has ever known to man.

The game of dialectics is older than the Bible. One of the ways that it is used in politics is as follows: A game player comes up with an outrageous proposal. Everyone screams and riots because they do not like it. So, the group that initiated the proposal finds out what would be acceptable and they modify the proposal in a manner that would allow it to become law. After they have their foot in the door, they determine that the original need was too important to leave out. So, they revise the bill and get everything wanted. In the end, the public looses.

Don’t let them trick you into believing that they can perform magic by taking their overpriced and abusive rationed care system and magically convert it into a solution. If this bill passes, it would deny you the greatest health potential ever known to modern humanity. We would not the have the cash and the freedoms needed to fund the free market, which would be the source of major innovations in health enhancement.

The Real Story

America needs a true “health” care system, not a disease management system.  As Andrew Weil, MD suggests, Americans must change the content of health care, not just the access. If we put the incentives on business to improve health rather than manage disease, everyone would be healthier, happier and richer. The costs of disease care would decline.

The real need is to train individuals to take care of themselves through choosing the right food and the right lifestyle. That is the only proven way to maximum health potential and it works. Dr. Raymond Francis noted that we have the technologies to help millions of baby boomers that are entering a phase of their lives when they will burden the disease care system. He said that we can fix it by teaching them how to get well and how to stay well using proven modern technology.  .

So, let’s go back to the drawing board. There is a problem. We can solve the real problem. Let’s give the health care system back to the free market. That is the only way to have a sensible, sustainable, common sense and fiscally responsible approach.
