Our ‘leaders’ don’t seem to know the difference between health insurance and health care! In order to disguise the effort to re-distribute wealth, they have cooked up a 2,000 page bill that purports to solve a problem 85% of Americans do not feel we have. They will kill health insurance as we know it and will downgrade health care for most Americans. We seniors will be hurt the worst in terms of care and the young adults will bear the highest share of the costs! Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist and writer has nailed the issue here!
Kill the Bills. Do Health Reform Rightby Charles Krauthammer11/27/2009The United States has the best health care in the world — but because of its inefficiencies, also the most expensive. The fundamental problem with the 2,074-page Senate health-care bill as with its 2,014-page House counterpart is that it wildly compounds the complexity by adding hundreds of new provisions, regulations, mandates, committees and other arbitrary bureaucratic inventions.Worse, they are packed into a monstrous package without any regard to each other. The only thing linking these changes — such as the 118 new boards, commissions and programs — is political expediency. Each must be able to garner just enough votes to pass. There is not even a pretense of a unifying vision or conceptual harmony.The result is an overregulated, overbureaucratized system of surpassing arbitrariness and inefficiency.
