It again exemplifies that Obama is a Marxist.

His costs are low and has a 3 month waiting list. His business is very successful and it is without the interference of any third party. Essentially the debate needs to be turned upside down as I said earlier and constructed around how we expel the government out of health care and allow for the free market to work as it does in every other industry - PoetsPain (Ian Erickson) Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:30:27 +0100 http://www.jbs.org/freedom-campaign/5140#comment-1619 Every aspect utterly true and if the public wises up we can remove the disscussion of government takeover of our health care all together from the halls of congress. The discussion should not be more government involved in our medical choices but how to get them out of those decissions the best we can. Free up the market, allow competition and this will drive down medical costs drastically. There will be no more 250 dollar Tylenol during hospital stays or 12,000 dollars to attend to a broken thumb. This is paramount to walking into a pharmacy to buy a box of tylenol and being charged 1000 dollars. Free market dictates that I go to the pharmacy next down the road and buy the 5 dollar box of Tylenol. I think private catastrophic health insurance is a viable option in emergancies, (just like any other type of insurance, it is used only when urgent and the need presents itself from auto, to home insurance) however to use insurance if you have the sniffles is absurd. Would you use auto insurance for an oil change? Of course not. The whole concept of on demand health insurance is counterproductive. Doctors attempt to maximize each claim while insurance private or public supported attempts to minimize the payout. This is a conflict of interests when it comes to the consumer (being you and I) and revolves around rationing health care on the insurance companies end and maximizing profit on the doctors end. A health care spending account is a brilliant concept that I personally utilize however until a major overhaul allows the market to drive down prices I am stuck with an insurance plan in addition to my spending account. - PoetsPain (Ian Erickson) Wed, 22 Jul 2009 15:29:10 +0100
