More On Our Broken Healthcare System

Universal Health Care doesn't work. There are countries in Europe cutting back care because of budget costs..Pregnant women have to drive for more than an hour to deliver babies in the corridors of the hospitals..You have to wait over a year for a bypass surgery, the government decide who has priority, my uncle died waiting...My family are better off here and pay our own insurance compared to socialized..In my home country no mother can afford to stay at home and I am looked down upon for home schooling and staying home. My husband paid 55% income tax in Europe, 25% sales tax on food, merhandise, and roughly 40% tax on energy bill..There are no money left over when you pay all that...And my hubby still had to wait one year for the gall bladder to be removed, almost died of jaundice because of it...people in socialized countries are poorer than here, it just look nice on the surface. It is never good for the economy, just research the un-employment rate for Europe the last 15 years and see for yourself..Companies do not hire people since it cost them too much...I lived it, grew up in it..
What needs to be done is to fight the corruption and monopoly of the big pharmas, they bully the government to buy stuff for medi-care to over price...I can just see how Mr.O's promise is going to fail since the pharmas are going to rip off the government..Force the pharmas and insurance companies to reduce their prices, make them cut back on their profits, make them share the wealth instead...Push for preventative health care, educate about health and make people stay healthy to cut the costs..Why shall the healthy have to pay for everyone to abuse their bodies,,Make their premiums higher if they don't care..Sounds rough? Well, that is what is happening when socialism fails and the government has run out of money...They check you..Governments tell you they can't afford that treatment...They are very frugal with handing out medication since it is all on the government;s tab..Oh yeah, imagine when all the American companies have to pick up the tab, I don't know about you, but I'd like my husband to keep his job and don't want to pay European prices for food and things..To pay more than 10 dollars a gallon on gas again is not an option for me...
It is easier to be on welfare in this country than mine back home, in Scandinavia you have to beg the social welfare for money...I know many here that just get it, without condition.....My point is, in Socialized countries you pay high taxes, but the government keeps letting you down..
So I did my calculation that even though we pay our own insurance and my husband has about the same salary, we still have more cash in our pocket..So if you want health care for all, I think you should sit down and consider what kind of things you can cut back on, because it is going to be rough, we are already hurting, and so are the small companies...It is not just the rich that will suffer from health care for all, the rich always find a way not to pay taxes, they are gonna put the cost on us...And I hope you don't teach your kids to work hard to achieve things, because it is not gonna matter when you eventually have to give it all to the government..Take the approach of not trying hard, since it will pay off the best...Otherwise you will be as bitter and cheatful as most Europeans, that it doesn't pay off to work hard since working hard so that you can pay it all to the government and you will eventually have the same amount of cash in the pocket as the guy who made about 40,000 less than you...You know, there are people paying about 80% in tax in Norway and Sweden..And we are not talking about the rich people either...!!!!Let the Hollywood Celebrities share more of their wealth, let them boycott $40.miljon dollar pay for movies and distibute the money among the poor in east L.A, it sure would help many...They don't need all the money they have, talking about double standard...lobbying for sharing wealth when they drive fancy cars and live in luxury homes..In Scandinavia they would fall in the 80% tax bracket.....Yes, it is true...I sure could use some of Scarlett Johanson's money...
It is obvoius that something needs to be done, but Europe is failing, all my friends have been unemployed for years..Deal with the over priced care provided by all the health care companies involved...Does that dentist or doctor really need that fancy building? Do we need to over prescribe medication when it is not needed? Do they need to charge so much for the equipment? That is what we need to deal with to bring down the costs..Preventation..let's stop over medicate our children...Corporate greed...Pharmaceutical companies are preying on the sick....Thanks...I lived it, know it doesn't work!!
