The Peril of Universal Healthcare

It is easy to forget that taxes are OUR MONEY.

It is easy to forget that big business is OUR BUSINESS. (Large or small, businesses are basically a collection of people working towards a successful goal.)

And it is easy to forget that "healthcare" is OUR DOCTOR.

That's right. Your doctor is either a small business (independent practice) or part of a large business (hospital).

Your pharmacy could be small or part of a large chain but it is still a business.

The manufacturers of your drugs is a large business. The manufacturers of medical equipment and supplies are small and large businesses.

Your insurance is part of a huge industry.

Many Americans on both the right and left are concerned about the bailouts and virtual nationalization of industries and financial institutions. These huge, too-big-to-fail endeavours are gobbling up our taxes.

Do you want the United States Government to nationalize healthcare by taking it "universal" and make your doctor a government worker?

Universal Healthcare is a failed idea. Look at Great Britain. Look at Canada. Look at Hawaii, Massachusetts, California. All have experimented with some form of universal healthcare and it has been a failure.

Large failures.

America's healthcare system is huge, complex and covers vast geography and a huge demographic. It has problem areas that must be addressed but a wholesale change is uncalled for, unwarranted, and certain to end in failure.

I intend to write more comprehensively about this issue, I just wanted to get this said - Univeral Healthcare nationalizes our healthcare providers turning them into government workers rather than independent doctors and business
