It's Time to Talk About HEALTHCARE

This one isn't going to be short, but please stay with me. Healthcare is a major talk in politics today with the Obama care being passed and the presence of the tea parties, so I decided I would do a rundown on exactly why Obama care has not, does not, and will never work.

There are three major problems with universal healthcare. Has anyone ever heard the term "The borrower is slave to the lender"? This term is in the Bible if you are not aware, and it is completely true (like everything else in the Bible). In universal healthcare, you are using the government's money to pay for your healthcare needs. This brings me to another point, nothing in this world is free, except for salvation in Jesus Christ that is. Every time the government takes something over, we loose more freedoms. When they start fronting the bill, they will try to do everything they can to lower the costs. This is already happening in New York with a bill proposed to ban salt in restaurant cooking. See, when you are paying the bill, no one can tell you what to do with your own money, but when the government is paying the bill, they can tell you what to do if it affects your health (and pretty much everything can be related to health).

Another problem with universal healthcare is that the government determines what the doctors are paid. I know alot of people think doctors are overpaid (which I disagree with because of what they have to do), but it is the salary that encourages doctors to spend thousands of dollars and ten to fifteen years in school to be a doctor, and it is because of them spending those years in school that they are so good, but when you take out the incintive, you get mediocre doctors. Why would you want to go to school for so many years to be a doctor, then go for even more years to be a specialist and spend thousands of dollars to get there if you aren't going to make more money than your roommate who spent nine hours a day recovering from a hangover? If you are having brain surgery, are you going to go to the cheapest doctor or the best doctor? That is the question, but with Obama care, there won't be a "best" doctor because no one will get paid enough to further their career and learn to be known as the "best" doctor.

The third reason I have covered in an older post.
