Wow, isn't it just great that the US is fast on the road to socialized medicine? I know our health care system is flawed. I know it is ridiculous that things like having a baby in the hospital, doctor visits for a sick child, routine surgeries, teeth cleaning, nursing home care, etc. are out of the financial reach of most people. But I do believe getting the government involved will make things far worse. What if our gov't won't allow a woman to have a c-section because she already has two children? What if it takes several months of waiting to get pain medication for an accident that happened yesterday? What if your lifesaving surgery is on a waiting list so long that you won't make it? What if someone over a certain age--say, 75--is ineligible for any kind of medical care, because some bureaucrat thinks they have lived long enough? What if it's actually against the law for medical personnel to care for people who somehow don't "qualify?"
Do we really want someone who is pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia back in Washington DC making our medical decisions for us? Someone who doesn't know anything about us or our medical conditions?

The "health care" proposed at this time in this society would amount to the death of real care, and would likely wind up being a bureaucratic license to manipulate and kill. I'm totally against it too!
ReplyDeleteIt's true that insurances have sky rocketed in price. Maybe it's time for a new model of medical care which actually works for the average person. This is an area where prayer and the creativity of minds could produce some effects ... but will that happen?
