Healthcare has been in a capitalist tailspin since I have entered it as a nurse in 1976.
Here is the dance with the Devil folks. You want to be protected from the catastrophic costs of healthcare and they want to make money off of you. Yup, there is nothing altruistic about healthcare above the level of the MD. They want your money and a lot of it.
The money grab started getting bigger when then codified diagnoses called a DRG or diagnostic related group. This led to eliminating frivolous expenses but led to coders adding as many possible DRGs to your hospital visit so they could get more reimbursement.
Next came HMOs, the new savior. These saviors were supposed to swoop in and manage healthcare and reduce healthcare costs. Were were duped again. HMOs just became another hand in the pot.
Well here comes Obama care. Any government program that says it is going to save money is a lie right off the bat. WHo is it going to save money for in the long run? No one. We will pay higher premiums, still pay for those who can'or won't have healthcare AND pay for a monster government program to manage Obamacare.
Do we really trust a warmongering police state government who wants to democratize the world for the sake of raping it for monetary purposes and natural resources? Do we really want to trust the big business interests who control government, at have left our manufacturing shores for cheaper labor elsewhere to manage our budgets and healthcare?
We have a federal government that in $12 Trillion + in debt and is inept at handling its own domestic problems let alone international problems.
The gun debate is a red herring as well. Guns really do kill people and there are those that kill people out of blood lust, greed, anger, violence etc. But the real push is to disarm the people. The government fears an armed populace, a powerful populace because it cannot be controlled by force in the common denominator.
This is simple history replaying itself again. Don't sit back and have me say I told you so, but unless we control this government by, for and of the people we will perish as a democracy.
This is not conspiracy theory, this is not fear mongering, this is history simply repeating itself and the concomitant karma that comes with action and inaction.
Be wise and prepare. Arm, gather food and water, find a safe haven and gather your friends, family and neighbors. Only together as a loving family can we defend ourselves against the demons that are coming over the horizon.
