Swickard, Ph.D. “Most of the great problems we face are caused by
politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place.”
Walter E. Williams
Caught in
the middle are the American public who pays more and get less service. Why?
Because the political healthcare plans are financial redistribution plans, not
actual healthcare plans intending to provide better service for less money.
The
current healthcare plan in our country known as Obamacare came into being
promising to lower costs. But the first action was to hire millions of lawyers,
consultants, account managers, technical directors and bureaucrats to run the healthcare
system. It suddenly costs more for healthcare.
Who can
possible looked surprised when healthcare cost much more because of it being the
feeding bucket for millions of political people who are creating solutions to problems
they created in the first place. They will insure you lose on insurance.
One fact
about healthcare not being discussed is that the political pushers of these new
plans have and are making out well. When we have dysfunction in our country we
should note who is making out well in the chaos. Namely: the politicians of
both political parties.
So, let me
ask: why would either political party come to the aid of the country when both
sides are doing well themselves with the chaos they are creating? They will
not.
My older
brother Bill was born at home. The home in question was twenty miles south of
Carrizozo on my Grandfather’s ranch. He was born in the front bedroom with Dr.
Klump attending. The bill in 1947 for Bill was forty dollars. It paid for the
doctor to attend.
There was
nothing in the bill for any account managers, tax consultants, primary
attorney, secondary attorney, the lead consultant on births, the yada yada
yada. Just what it cost the doctor to attend the birth.
What I have
is Dental Unsurance. It looks like insurance but doesn’t work. But there is
millions of people in the company making money while not doing anything of
value for the customers. Why? Because the politicians have set this system up.
How to
make healthcare better? First, stop making it worse for political gain. If you
are in a hole and don’t like it first stop digging. That is what America must
do. Rather than come up with a more involved system of bookkeeping and rules
and regulations, we must step back.
The media
will make every step toward less government sound like the Black Death of 1346.
It will not be but the scaremongers will point out that any reduction of
government intrusion will kill at least 700 Billion people this week.
There’s
only 7.5 Billion people alive now, should I react to politicians saying 700
Billion people will die if we pull back on government intrusion? Nope.
