Two Flaws in National Health Insurance
I have been thinking about national health insurance and I extinct to be for it. But now I am not distinct, as there are two fundamental problems with any national health insurance opinion.
The first spot can be summed up briefly. If you have national health care, the government will accelerate it. Expeditiously name anything that the government runs efficiently. Mediate about how blissful you are to renew your driver’s license. You scare the long lines, the obscene clerks, their attitude of ” I don’t give a damn”. This is the same government that will be running national health insurance. You judge you disfavor your HMO now. You assume that CIGNA stands for Called In Got No Reply, unbiased wait until it is taken over by the government clerks.
And let’s be sincere. You judge there is too great administration and paper work alive to in the health care industry now? PLEASE! Again name one government program that has ever decreased paper work and administrative costs.
Remember Ronald Reagan’s celebrated line. “The scariest phrase in the world is I am from the government and I am here to relieve you.”
In theory, national health care insurance sounds spacious. But the government cannot speed anything efficiently, the projected cost of national health insurance hovers somewhere around one trillion a year, and you are assuming the government will support these costs under control. Okay – you are allowed to snicker here. The words government and cost control do not belong in the same sentence. Again, name one government program known for its advantageous cost control efforts.
You may despise Blue Corrupt, but they have shareholders they must record to. They have a profit they must create every year. They have an incentive to maintain costs under control. What incentive does the government have to maintain costs under control?
The other fundamental quandary with national health care is the very assumption that it rests upon. People need health care, therefore the government will provide it. Last time I checked, we already had a private sector providing health insurance.
Now judge about that. If the government can seize over any private sector business, because ” people need the product.”, that is, at best, a very shaky argument. And if the government can prefer over a private sector business, because “they are charging too great”, that again is a very scary proposition.
Watch we all need electricity. But if I don’t pay my bill, the power company will shut off my lights. That is not blooming. Over 40 million Americans cannot afford electricity and something must be done about it. The definite acknowledge is to have the goverrment select over my local electric company and provide me with electricity. That will lisp the electric company two lessons. First, do not obtain into business providing a service people “need”. As with national health care, if the government does not like the job you are doing, they will catch you over.
The second lesson. Honest like health care premiums, if the electric rates go up too high and the people cannot afford your needed service, the government can step in, pick over, and ensure that everyone has affordable premiums, I mean electric rates.
Hmm – government clerks running your health care. And giving the government permission to acquire over any business sector providing a critical service – electricity, housing, food, gas – unbiased so government clerks can control the costs. Those are two roads I don’t want to go down.

The first quandary can be summed up briefly. If you have national health care, the government will accelerate it. Speedily name anything that the government runs efficiently. Believe about how blissful you are to renew your driver’s license. You fear the long lines, the extreme clerks, their attitude of ” I don’t give a damn”. This is the same government that will be running national health insurance. You mediate you abhor your HMO now. You judge that CIGNA stands for Called In Got No Retort, honest wait until it is taken over by the government clerks.
And let’s be steady. You reflect there is too great administration and paper work alive to in the health care industry now? PLEASE! Again name one government program that has ever decreased paper work and administrative costs.
Remember Ronald Reagan’s eminent line. “The scariest phrase in the world is I am from the government and I am here to succor you.”
In theory, national health care insurance sounds gargantuan. But the government cannot race anything efficiently, the projected cost of national health insurance hovers somewhere around one trillion a year, and you are assuming the government will retain these costs under control. Okay – you are allowed to snicker here. The words government and cost control do not belong in the same sentence. Again, name one government program known for its superior cost control efforts.
You may despise Blue Execrable, but they have shareholders they must characterize to. They have a profit they must produce every year. They have an incentive to withhold costs under control. What incentive does the government have to retain costs under control?
The other fundamental spot with national health care is the very assumption that it rests upon. People need health care, therefore the government will provide it. Last time I checked, we already had a private sector providing health insurance.
Now reflect about that. If the government can capture over any private sector business, because ” people need the product.”, that is, at best, a very shaky argument. And if the government can capture over a private sector business, because “they are charging too noteworthy”, that again is a very scary proposition.
Observe we all need electricity. But if I don’t pay my bill, the power company will shut off my lights. That is not delicate. Over 40 million Americans cannot afford electricity and something must be done about it. The determined retort is to have the goverrment assume over my local electric company and provide me with electricity. That will remark the electric company two lessons. First, do not fetch into business providing a service people “need”. As with national health care, if the government does not like the job you are doing, they will retract you over.
The second lesson. Objective like health care premiums, if the electric rates go up too high and the people cannot afford your needed service, the government can step in, rob over, and ensure that everyone has affordable premiums, I mean electric rates.
Hmm – government clerks running your health care. And giving the government permission to catch over any business sector providing a well-known service – electricity, housing, food, gas – objective so government clerks can control the costs. Those are two roads I don’t want to go down.
