"The doctors gave me back my life. They repaired
the aneurysms in the artery leading to my brain that would have either killed or
impaired me. And I know how valiantly they worked to restore my sons' health
after they were involved in a serious automobile accident as children. No doubt
about it, for this and many other reasons, the U.S. health care system is
wonderful. Sure it costs a lot, and of course, we must help those who don't have
enough health insurance. But I don't want to destroy this great system in the
process." - JOE BIDEN
Market Driven Health
Care (chapter 5)
Regina Herzlinger, Harvard Business School,
1997
Fast forward to 2009 and the most dangerous administration in
U.S. history. Instead of allowing Americans to solve our health care "crisis"
through free-market transactions, they're forcing "solutions" on us that are
guaranteed to make things worse!
Latest and MOST DANGEROUS
example: A House proposal (during an economic recession!) costing taxpayers
TRILLIONS, because Americans have a "RIGHT" to universal (Canadian-style) health
care. Joe?
Reality Check: The "right to health care"
doesn't exist in a government-run system... ANYWHERE in the world! The right to
health care is nothing more than an opportunity is to get (TAXPAYER PROVIDED)
services for "free"... IF the government decides to make those services
available.
But the government is under no obligation to provide
anything... and when it decides to ration or deny treatment... people
can't go to court and sue the government (like Americans can sue an insurance
company for denying a covered benefit).
Government-run health care
is inefficient and provides inferior medicine. Look no further than Medicare
(our own "universal" government-run program for seniors) and all of its coverage
gaps. Medicare has an unfunded liability in the TRILLIONS of dollars... which
proves that government programs aren't affordable either.
If the
lawmakers are intent on spending taxpayer money, they should give refundable tax
credits to people who need help, so they can purchase their own private
individual coverage on the open market!
But don't just take my word
for it...
