Instead of allowing the American people to be fooled by all this Insurance crap why not bandy around a few ideas for lowering the overhead and reducing the overall costs of health care. Reducing the bureaucratic stranglehold on the free market forces would be more effective than rationing bad health care. By simply removing the red tape and risks associated with providing health care, the supply side would balance with the demand allow competition to dictate the affordability and accessibility. Simultaneously we need to increases health care workers in all fields and at all levels, rein in the FDA and other Mafioso accrediting and licensing agencies, implement Tort Reform and reward responsibility and productivity. Way easier than waiting on "comrade hospital administrator" to decide your future.
Politicians are blatantly using the inevitability and fear of aging, illness and injury to buy votes for the 2008 Presidential election. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to recognize these are the same ambitious and opportunistic parasites that have created this current suffocating atmosphere of bureaucratic regulations. These regulations, disguised as consumer protection, are designed to artificially constrain free market forces. If we reduce the red tape and obstacles that currently restrict competition and innovation, the supply will meet the demand and issues concerning universal coverage, Medicare and Medicaid will become irrelevant. The current oversight system is Mafioso in how it dictates who provides, what they provide, where they provide, when they provide, who they provide to, who pays and who plays. Kickbacks are demanded every step of the way and universal coverage that is confiscated in the form of taxes is the method remove the bill payer from the bill so skimming off the top will go unnoticed. It is racketeering at its worst and Americans should stand together now to reject the straws offered by those trying to drown us.
