Comments on: Morning Bell: Competition, Not Price-Controls, Will Save Medicare http://blog.heritage.org/2009/10/06/morning-bell-competition-not-price-controls-will-save-medicare/ Fri, 25 May 2012 15:33:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: gregio http://blog.heritage.org/2009/10/06/morning-bell-competition-not-price-controls-will-save-medicare/#comment-313757 gregio Thu, 23 Jun 2011 17:21:48 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=16381#comment-313757 Dear Jack, you are an excellent apologist for all things government but your assumptions that solutions to problems in healthcare or foreign policy are unsolvable because of American corruption is quite repugnant and reveals your liberal mindset. There is no "public competition" by having a single payer system, that is a myth that you liberals have been pushing because you are basically marxist and want government to control all area's of American life reguardless of cost. The concept that an individual would decide to choose an appropriate medical treatment or path to treatment is unacceptable to a marxist. Now the HHS is introducing us to the new world of food recipes that the government will dictate so we will eat healthy government food not that evil free enterprise stuff, the liberal virus will be very difficult to expell, maybe we should have special classes in school to teach children how to spot liberal stupidity and how to be critical thinkers and how to exercise their American freedoms.

Just like England and Portugal and others. England has been returning to privatized medicine since the 1980's when I was there as a visiting surgeon. They had a three year waiting list for hip surgery and told us quite frankly that if one has an emergency that it wouldn't be done in the royal Orthopedic Hospital. Said hospital only had four operating rooms and insufficient x-ray equipment to perform other than bone studies. Anything else had to be referred to one of the general hospitals. If that's the affect of real competition then we are in real trouble with your plan. In Portugal the socialist medical system had MD's driving taxis because they couldn't get jobs in medicine. I am very sorry but you don't know about what you are speaking.. I do know because I have been there and seen it all over the world. "and Obama must fall" to parpphrase Cicero. Oh Yes!

I have heard that all IRS collected taxes go to the FED because of this debt, and each year the federal tax does not pay off the debt. Due to the miracle of compound interest, the debt only becomes ever larger. Is this true?

I paid into both of those while I have been working, since before 1966, as a corporate employee and then as a self-employed individual. So, I am personally entitled to a return on my money; I have not asked that people be taxed to repay me. Secondly, why not open up every state to all 1500 medical insurers? It seems to me that this common sense proposal might just bring down premium costs. What is wrong with that idea? In regard to Medicare and Social Security being termed "entitlements", I must object.

The spending cuts need to be made now! Then, only increase the debt limit by $ 300 million per vote - and only once every 90 days. Boehner and Obama want this issue to go away. Boehner wants to complain about big, bad Obama for the next year (while he does nothing to help the nation), and Obama is willing to give little johnny all the rope he needs The Boehner/Obama ten-year scheme is a joke.

Nobody in Washington can see past their own ego's and materialist greed. The facts show how they feel toward We The People. They consider us Tea Baggers, uninformed, and not able to think for ourselfs. This of course isn't true, however We The People have some hard decissions to make in 2012. How we choose will determine what kind of country we will have and the future we give our children. THIS IS A WARNING! Unless we elect representatives who live by the rules of the constitution and follow this document. We will fall as did all the other great civilizations. The choice is ours to make. We are in trouble as a nation and the status quo is no longer viable. I personally want to see representatives in office that arn't worried about the next election, but doing the right thing for the people and the country.
