OB, I am all for everyone receiving medical treatment, no one should ever be denied that. BUT.......
(I always hate those buts), Insuring ppl with universal healthcare........
...........
I have not seen the transparency, honesty, or truthfulness in this bill, and I also see how the rules(amendments) get changed at "some ppl's" whims. If this is going to be law in the good 'ole USA, then the law has to apply to everyone, not just certain sections or factions of ppl.
And, trying to fall under the fairness to all, do you penalize ppl that have always taken a lifelong interest and actively participated in their healthcare and paid their bills, take from them, to provide for those that do nothing and never cared about their health(till they get sick)? Those ppl DO deserve treatment, too. Maybe they just need to set up a fund, to pay ppl's bills, that don't/won't pay them? Maybe the insurance companies, that have profited from healthy ppl buying insurance, that they have had to pay no claims out on, maybe they could contribute some of THEIR profits.
I used to bill claims for a 53 hospital chain. We were instructed to not go after anyone's homes, assets, or paycheck, that owed hospital bills. Could this be one reason hospitals and medical providers don't get paid, costs increase, pass the loss on to those that do pay? Hospitals write off billions in healthcare dollars!
People don't pay their medical bills. The hospital and our outlook was, you don't file for a judgment against good ppl because of a medical situation. Period. Hospitals and big business is not without heart(some of them). The one's that did get liened against, had other insurances and other responsible parties to attach to. I think we only ever sought 1 judgment against 1 fella, and it was cause he was ridiculous wealthy, and just didn't care or feel he had to pay his share.
Under Obamacare, if you don't pay, they will have big brother IRS, detach your asset's. It almost makes me wonder, if the sheriff will come and evict a family out of their home, because they got sick, couldn't work, and couldn't pay their share owed to providers. I KNOW, I KNOW, the bill says they will only "lien" against your assets and property, but, whose to stop them from "amending" that clause, too?
There has been so little dialogue about intricate matters and implications, within this bill, well........
If I had a had a hand in passing and implanting it, I'd be pretty mugged up about it, too.
Just act all stupid about it, no one ask a stupid man, to defend anything, do they?
I don't mean to come across as non caring to the plight of the sick, that's not my intent.
If I was to put myself out in the street, paying for others, then I am going to be in need of the some services, I just gave away to another. Who's going to come save me? And what will become of the poor, when everyone is poor, and no one has NOTHING left to give. Think our government is going to be as altruistic, sitting in their castles, staring down at the unwashed masses?
Are we growing so fast, in to a nation of victims, that no one is able to stand on his own two feet, and take responsibility for their choices, and understand how "cause and effect", have come in to play, for this whole mess of "healthcare:, that we now have?
Noah's insurance plan! LOL! Let everyone onto the boat! When it sinks, you'll all be swimming and drowning together! While worrying about what everyone will do when they get sick, why don't we start promoting from a place of HEALTH!
What can everyone do, to maintain they are healthy, and not incur needless pain, suffering, and disease?
By golly, someone should create a school for THAT! HUH?
Remember Satire is the bodies defense against strupidty.
