10 Reasons We Can't Have Health Care for Everyone!

1.  It is far too expensive to cover everyone. Besides, what kind of a country would we have if people no longer had to work to get health care? 

2.  It would impede upon the profits of health insurance companies.  Our health insurance companies make some of the finest profits in the world.  If there was a "public option" available to people, a government run system, these people would flock to it instead and these companies would lose money.  Take pride in the profits of insurance companies, people, these are American companies!  You should want to see them do well.

3.  If everyone could get health care, how would that make the wealthy feel?  Doesn't achieving a good living count for anything anymore? If everyone could get the same level of health care, what would be the point of being rich?

4.  Campaign contributions.  The health insurance companies have deposited some of the biggest campaign contributions of both Republican and Democrat politicians that these politicians have received.  Shouldn't they be entitled to something back for all that cash?

5.  Don't put the government between yourself and your doctor, only health insurance companies should be there!  There are paid medical directors in the best position to decide what should be covered or not and what you have to pay.  The big bloated government would simply make hospitals write down excessive medical bills, impinging on profits!  Yes, the government should not be between you and your doctor.

6.  Pharmaceutical profits.  A government takeover of the health insurance would impinge on pharmaceutical profits.  The government tries to "cure" diseases, while it is far more profitable to simply keep treating the symptoms.  We have to keep the profit in prescription drugs, or else more areas of the economy will continue to suffer!

7.  America is a debter society, not a creditor society!  Imagine what would happen if people didn't owe money on medical bills. They would be able to pay off their houses, buy more cars and do more shopping. The dollar would, no doubt, go sky high because everyone would have money!  And, again, this would also diminish the importance of the rich in our society.

8.  Many people are staying at jobs they dislike simply for the health insurance.  Give them affordable health insurance, and they would leave for other horizons, perhaps even start small businesses of their own.  This, again, would sooner or later impinge upon the profits of our large corporations and, once more the economy would suffer.

9.  A government insurance program would make America more like Europe!  All the countries of Europe have government health insurance, you don't want to be like France do you? We are Americans!

10. Rationing - currently, we have a system where those with great insurance coverage as well as the rich can get top tier health care.  What would our system look like if just anyone could get treatment for their afflictions?

No, no, no, we must not have government sponsored health care, my friends. America has the best, the brightest and the most profitable system of health care available in the world right now.  We have to keep it that way!

Are you serious ??    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Please tell me you are a COINTELPRO hack ??

Healthcare costs are the burdensome tumor that keeps the American economy from flourishing.  Americans pay more for healthcare than any other industrialized nation yet we are way behind in life-expectancy.

We are simply not getting our money's worth.

That and the eugenicrats in government that put out all the fluoride, aspartame, estrogenoids plus all those harmful pHARMiceuticals that get approved by the FDA.

Puh-lease !!!!!!!    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
