The H1N1 flu non-crisis is long over--just in time for the government to roll out a massive "get vaccinated" campaign. Until now nothing, but in the last week, I've seen countless "Get Vaccinated" ads and billboards. And when you or someone you love has a heart attack, stroke, etc., you're going to trust a heavily government-regulated, incomprehensibly complicated system with tens of millions of patients not paying into the system, to save your life?
I don't understand all of the hoopla. Government is already involved in health care in a big way. All Americans sign up for Medicare (government-run insurance) at 65. Seniors in Switzerland stay with their private insurers for life. What about the Department of Veterans Affairs? That is a prime example of government-run health care.

ReplyDeleteDave, the difference is you now will be adding 30 million people who have little money to pay into the system. Then when, as Obama promised, he legalizes the 11+ million illegals, you'll have that many more people with high health care needs and little income to pay into the system.
