The Price Tag For The Health Payment Program Passed By Congress
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
Watching Nevada Congresswoman Shelley Berkley defend her vote for passage of the health care payment program recently she pointed out that somehow the massive bill would cut the costs of health care. This seems to be a big part of the Democrat plan – repeat on a constant basis that their actions will reduce costs associated with health care. Forcing people to buy a service that companies are required to sell without limitations, taxing a variety of things from indoor tanning to capital gains increases – this thing is supposed to save us money?
As propagandist have pointed out, something can be made to be something it’s not by repeating over and over that whatever you want it to be is what you say it is. When (or if) people believe you – whatever you are telling them becomes so. Prepare to hear the Democrats and their media supporters to persuade us that the health care payment program (we’ve covered before that this isn’t “insurance”) is a great thing that we should be grateful for. Government at its finest will make our lives better by forcing us to buy what they’ve decided we need to acquire, picking up the tab for those who are determined to not have enough resources to pay their insurance, cutting and controlling the level of health care payments which will be made to service providers – all the while believing that these mandates from an all powerful federal government isn’t a socialistic, federal take-over…
This point, offered by the Las Vegas Review Journal, provides some practical insight into part of the reason why the promotional effort of the party wishing us to believe they did us a favor is slightly off on the calculations – especially the central theme of how we’re going to save money.
The reality is we’ll pay more, forced to buy what we’re told and taxed to cover those who can’t – when that falls short of working, the solution will be just having the federal government do what has been the plan all along – take it all over and tax us more to socialize medical care.
