Government has been mismanaging medical care for more than 45 years; for every problem it has created it has responded by exponentially expanding the role of government.
Points to consider:
1.) No one has a right to medical care. If one assumes such a right, it endorses the notion that some individuals have a right to someone elses life and property. This totally contradicts the principles of liberty.
2.) If medical care is provided by government, this can only be achieved by an authoritarian government unconcerned about the rights of the individual.
3.) Economic fallacies accepted for more than 100 years in the United States has deceived policy makers into believing that quality medical care can only be achieved by government force, taxation, regulations, and bowing to a system of special interests that creates a system of corporatism.
4.) More dollars into any monopoly run by government never increases quality but it always results in higher costs and prices.
5.) Government does have an important role to play in facilitating the delivery of all goods and services in an ethical and efficient manner.
6.) First, government should do no harm. It should get out of the way and repeal all the laws that have contributed to the mess we have.
7.) The costs are obviously too high but in solving this problem one cannot ignore the debasement of the currency as a major factor.
8.) Bureaucrats and other third parties must never be allowed to interfere in the doctor/patient relationship.
9.) The tax code, including the ERISA laws, must be changed to give everyone equal treatment by allowing a 100% tax credit for all medical expenses.
Laws dealing with bad outcomes and prohibiting doctors from entering into voluntary agreements with their patients must be repealed. Tort laws play a significant role in pushing costs higher, prompting unnecessary treatment and excessive testing. Patients deserve the compensation; the attorneys do not.
10.) Insurance sales should be legalized nationally across state lines to increase competition among the insurance companies.
11.) Long-term insurance policies should be available to young people similar to term-life insurances that offer fixed prices for long periods of time.
12.) The principle of insurance should be remembered. Its purpose in a free market is to measure risk, not to be used synonymously with social welfare programs. Any program that provides for first-dollar payment is no longer insurance. This would be similar to giving coverage for gasoline and repair bills to those who buy car insurance or providing food insurance for people to go to the grocery store. Obviously, that could not work.
13.) The cozy relationship between organized medicine and government must be reversed.
Early on medical insurance was promoted by the medical community in order to boost re-imbursements to doctors and hospitals. That partnership has morphed into the government/insurance industry still being promoted by the current administration.
14.) Threatening individuals with huge fines by forcing them to buy insurance is a boon to the insurance companies.
15.) There must be more competition for individuals entering into the medical field. Licensing strictly limits the number of individuals who can provide patient care. A lot of problems were created in 20th century as a consequence the Flexner Report (1910), which was financed by the Carnegie Foundation and strongly supported by the AMA. Many medical schools were closed and the number of doctors was drastically reduced. The motivation was to close down medical schools that catered to women, minorities and especially homeopathy. We continue to suffer from these changes which were designed to protect physicians income and promote allopathic medicine over the more natural cures and prevention of homeopathic medicine.
16.) We must remove any obstacles for people seeking holistic and nutritional alternatives to current medical care. We must remove the threat of further regulations pushed by the drug companies now working worldwide to limit these alternatives.
True competition in the delivery of medical care is what is needed, not more government meddling.

Health insurance companies’ limited exemption from antitrust laws since 1945 has allowed insurance companies to monopolize markets and fix prices, raising the cost of coverage for consumers. In an effort to repeal a law protecting insurers from federal antitrust laws, Senators Reid, Leahy and Schumer today offered the Health Insurance Industry Antitrust Enforcement Act in the form of an amendment to the Senate health insurance bill. This amendment would eliminate the antitrust exemption for health insurance companies, promoting competition that will benefit consumers.

This is a heartbreaking clip. It is a real life dilemma that people that pay through the nose for Health Insurance or have it supplied to the employer for you at an high rate..on the doctors side, they feel it is ok to jack their rates up for Insurance companies which has caused the insurance companies to cut corners ,just like everything is these days. Health Insurance is such a money laundering and fraud mechanism and it is Enabled by Health Industry Lobbyiest because the only way things could possibly have gotten this bad is through conspiracy and corrupton.
The war is HERE you guys
Just a look through my video collection here proves it.
I also find it amazing that the Cigna decided to OK the operation and she DIES the same day. 12 21 2007

Questions arise that it’s more of a scam than we think. Health Care could end up to being one big Madoff like scheme.
Is it possible that cronies of Obama or Speaker Pelosi or any other liberal Democrat who supports the Health Care Bill could set up an insurance company, for example Jessie Jackson opens up an insurance company under some other name, and can have the government underwrite it with Jackson as the front man so that they can make a fortune?
In essence, lets say you opened SAVAGE Insurance Co. and the Obama administration was favorable to you, could they say sure well allow you to have about 5 million people and we, the government, will underwrite your plan with taxpayer money and you can take 5% off the top of it, could they do that? And would it be legal?

This video is just a glimpse into the corrupt and greedy world of health insurance. It is deplorable that in the 21st century Americans have to suffer at the hands of these companies and the likes of Stephen Hemsley. Health care is a basic human right. This is why health care reform is so important.

REP. ANTHONY WEINER: Name a single thing a private insurance company does to make anyone healthier, to save anyone money. Health insurance companies operate like they’re supposed to. They’re businesses. They operate to make profits. How do you make profits? By giving away as little, and collecting as much. It’s the opposite of the imperative that we have as the representatives of the people.
But this is so utterly predictable because you didn’t vote for Medicare. Your party didn’t vote for Social Security. You had control of the House, the Senate, the Judiciary, the presidency for eight years and you didn’t do anything.
No, I shouldn’t say that. You passed Medicare Part D, which said, let’s see if we give them enough money if they’ll do the right thing. Donut hole, anyone?
You know, this is like Jabberwocky, which was the language spoken in Alice in Wonderland, isn’t that right Mrs. Baldwin? Through the Looking Glass. You know, if you say these words enough, sooner or later they take on a little life of their own. Well, you can feel free to do that, but the American people know you’re standing in defense of a system that everyone knows is broken, everyone knows is too expensive, everyone knows doesn’t work, and we were elected to change that.
Can’t name a single thing ourselves at
