A Conservative Alternative to CommieCare
We've all heard it, that phrase uttered by the supporters of ObamaCare.(AKA MarxiCare, CommieCare, Nationalized Healthcare, Socialized Healthcare, Socialized Medicine, Government Run Healthcare and, by supporters of it, Healthcare "Reform" or The Public "Option") "Well it isn't perfect but we don't have a choice, we have to do something! And I don't see the right offering any alternatives." While we know this is blatantly false, I frankly have had enough of it. No matter what post in my comments the next time I comment it's like they didn't even read the last one. (And that's probably not too far from the truth.)
We know that something needs to be done. But it needs to be thought out. Remember the Stimulus? The Bailouts? And people really think that this can end any better? What's going to happen if the government takes over the Healthcare industry? And don't try to tell me that isn't the end game. If it wasn't then why would you be REQUIRED BY LAW to have health insurance? And then factor in the whole "Change your policy lose the Private Option" thing and you have government run healthcare.
So, here is the alternative that doesn't end in your life only being worth $3,200 and a bureaucrat running your life. And I can sum it up in two words. Free Market. And for the really hard headed it is a lot easier than the General Secretary's, as it requires but five simple steps.
Step 1: De-Regulate.
The less regulations the more choice people have, ergo the more likely Insurance companies are to have to compete. Competition equals lower prices with higher quality which in turn equals more people covered.
Step 2: Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, oh how I despise this word, Reform.
At very least the ending of benefits for Illegal Aliens and very stiff fines for fraud. Depending on how low insurance prices go complete obliteration might be in order. And that should be the goal anyhow. As once insurance costs go low enough they will no longer be needed. Social Security isn't anyway, all it's used for is extra money for politicians to spend on pork.
Step 3: Let People buy Across State Lines.
Right now you must buy insurance in your state. Which means if you live on the state line your neighbor could get his insurance at a much lower rate than you your local insurance office dosn't have to care. Because they don't have to compete with them and therefore you will have to buy from them if you want insurance.
Step 4: Acceptance.
We must learn to accept that some people choose, let me repeat that, choose not to have health insurance. Not because they can't afford it but because they want to spend the money elsewhere. So learn to accept it, people play the odds and take the risk. Some lose, most win. That's the way it works.
Step 5: Enjoy.
The Healthcare "Crisis" has been stopped. And, just so you know, it was the government that CAUSED the whole thing in the first place.
So there you have it, this is, if not the, an alternative by Conservatives to CommieCare. And unlike CommieCare,
this will work.
