Single-Payer... Who? What? Really?

CBS News - President Barack Obama told the American Medical Association that in some countries a single-payer health care system “works pretty well,” the White House reaffirmed that people in those countries liked their health care.

Lunacy - pure and simple.

A simple, cursory review of the concepts in a “single-payer” system would expose the sheer lunacy of the idea.

So, let’s start...

Uhmm, “Single-Payer”... Uhmm... Let’s see, now, who would that be?

The Single-Payer concept gets generic public support because the consumer thinks the “Single-Payer” won’t be himself.

Then who will it be?

If not the Taxpayer, then, who? Ohh, yes, we will tax the rich! Those rich, nasty, and greedy CEO’s who are busy lining their pockets with our hard-earned wages.

Now, everyone, even those who are not Bible-thumping Baptist, ought to understand that men and women have shortcomings. In the Bible-Belt you will hear this referred to as man’s fallen state. This means, that even though we often aim at high moral standards for integrity, honesty, goodness, and charity—we often miss the target.

The Obama Administration has perfected the myth that government employees are gracious and loving civil servants, while CEO’s are greedy, evil monsters. This is entirely false.

Avarice and greed exhibit themselves universally. There are greedy individuals in government. There are greedy people in healthcare. Greedy men and women exist in the local school district, and in your state’s capital. Greed exhibits itself in the personal conduct of men and women at the supermarket, and at the local hardware store. It is a universal flaw in the fabric of the human soul.

Therefore, because this is man’s universal flaw, there is actually no difference between a group a greedy CEO’s sitting about a table making decisions and a group of dishonest politicians sitting around the very same table.

Remember, dishonest is dishonest. A dishonest criminal is no more, or less, than an dishonest politician. They are exactly the same. This conclusion ought to strangle your brain.

Please recognize that rich, nasty, and greedy politicians will be lining their own pockets with your hard-earned money.

Don’t fall for the lie.

Keep decision making in your own hands, where you can weigh accurately weigh the level of integrity, honesty and care you, yourself, bring to the equation. Then, focus on electing men and women who exhibit integrity, honesty, and sensible reason.
