Tired American: There is no care in Obamacare

Marissa went on to explain how the continued government run healthcare system had devastated medicine in the United States. Through repeated cutbacks, poor reimbursements, and inadequate bureaucracy, the government’s plan had turned the clock of modern medicine back the twentieth century. No longer was America a leader in the industry; it now just followed in the same footsteps as other mediocre socialist run medical systems.

The entire world as a result suffered because they relied on the United States for its cutting edge medical technology and pharmaceuticals. Once the government run system was in place it became a monster in itself, consuming more and more of the GNP on a yearly basis. As the cost of the socialist system grew so did the number of bureaucrats. Soon there were more governmental employees running the system than medical staff manning it.

As we watch The US Supreme Court debate Obamacare’s legality, we must ask ourselves: how was such a thing passed? With over 2000 pages of new laws, stipulations and intrusions into our God-given civil liberties the bill essentially gives the United States government a mandate to take over our economy. How could the most successful country in the world knowingly give away everything that our soldiers fought so hard to preserve? It spits not only in their faces but also in the faces our Founding Fathers. I think this video nicely sums up the intrusive nature of this bill: http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=HcBaSP31Be8&vg=

Ronal Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Where is the ACLU in all of this? If they really cared about our civil liberties they would have organized mass marches against it and not slept until it was repealed. This bill takes away more of our civil liberties than anything ever passed before in the United States, yet they do or say nothing. I guess the only thing they really care about is their own political agenda, and if something doesn’t fit into it, then it doesn’t matter to them. Well, it matters to me.

As a physician it is my hope that everyone receives proper medical care. Every week I either donate my time to the free medical clinic or provide care to the uninsured, underinsured or illegals for free in this country. However, I don’t believe the government has a right not only to mandate healthcare for everyone but also oversee such a massive economic goliath. Plus, where are the funds for such plan. Every day I learn the cost of it is rising. No matter what news station you listen to they all agree that the plan is over budget and that there is no way to pay for it. The plan both underestimated the amount of people who would be covered and also the funds needed to support it. I don’t know about you but this is a recipe for disaster. And the worst part about it is that Obama wants to proceed, despite the economic devastation it will create for America’s economy.

Capitalism has made America great. It won us the Cold War and continues to make our country great. Why? Capitalism allows the people to take charge of their destiny and gives them the opportunity to make a better living for not only themselves but their children. It allows for initiative and creates an environment so that anyone has the potential to succeed. That is why Capitalism has proven to be the greatest economic system the world has ever seen. I’m not saying it’s perfect, but has there ever been any socialist, communist or fascists utopias? Just look at North Korea, where the government runs everything. How are they doing? Their people are starving and they are living in complete poverty. Now look at South Korea.
