In his notes today, Neal Boortz suggests that “universal health care” will ensure that all Americans receive equally mediocre health care.
Come on folks, wake up and smell the antiseptic. If this is the medical care our wounded soldiers from the Middle East receive from a government-run health care system, what makes you think that the care you are going to receive under “universal health care” is going to be any better?
“Freedom loving” Americans have decided that their health care is not their responsibility. It’s the responsibility of either the government or their employer. Walter Reed is your future. You asked for it … enjoy it.
I completely agree with Mr. Boortz. Government almost never does anything very well or excellently. Why should I believe that I’ll be happier with taxpayer funded health care than I am with what I receive privately now?
Physically and mentally handicapped citizens should be taken care of for humanitarian reasons, but I’ve never been convinced that our federal government is the correct entity to do so. Perhaps Bill and Melinda Gates have an interest in starting a national foundation?
What scares me most about the idea of universal health care is the idea that professional liars and powermongers (politicians) will be in charge of making decisions that limit my options relating to health, the most important thing I have in life. These people have made a mess of almost everything they have touched. They already have a direct siphon into my paycheck. Why should I give them control of my health?
