If all health care were completely free, all procedures were freely
available, and elective procedures were permissable, nearly everyone
in the country would be lining up at some point to get their freebies.
This should illustrate one of the fundamental problems with government
sponsored health care. Rationing won't simply be a debatable issue,
it will be an imperative. Philanthropy and voluntary service are
wonderful means to help those who are genuinely struggling. Government
control in the guise of benevolence is a horror story. Government can
only ever be a lover of itself. It's an oppressor in nearly all
ways.
Most of the civilized western world disagrees with your right-wing
talking point.
It's a libertarian, individualistic, anti-statist thought, and it's
premises are rooted in a real-world understanding of the nature of
man. And if your rather innocuous rebuttal had been rooted in a
reasonable appreciation for the current state of affairs, it would
recognize that the majority of Americans have issues with ObamaCare,
not the least of which was the refutation submitted above. You may
find comfort in the belly of the beast, but a larger number of
Americans find it unpalatable. And, by the grace of God, there are
still a large number of critically-thinking Americans out there - your
political low-lifes, the nemesis of all things government. It's these
unfortunate individuals (who find fortune in their thinking
individually) assay what free health care wil bring across the border.
They assay what the inexorable consequences will be for the quality of
their own care. They understand that volunteers like those in the
submitted article, under a comprehensive government health care plan,
will be prohibited from those types of generosity. They will be
required by mandate, and under the oversight of whatever department or
Czar is appointed, to deliver that care under government strictures,
as demand will necessitate government marshalling those volunteers
into its beauracracy of mediocrity. These intellectually honest
Americans will appreciate that the woman in the article who had the
hope of having teeth replaced prosthetically by a volunteer will have
no recourse under comprehensive government health care. Cosmetic
surgery or orthodontisty will still only be out of medical necessity
or for those who can afford it...maybe. This is already the case in
the existing examplar of government health care, under V.A. medical
care. Prescient Americans, those trailer-trashy, bitter-clinging
conservative, GOP-lovin' troglodytes, alreay know this.
And you don't. Yet, you and our elected despots, our mini-Caesers,
seem to know what is best for everyone. Personally, I'm not
persuaded.
BTW - The word "Czar" is a cognate of the Slavic word "Tsar," having
been borrowed from the Roman Caesar. Frightening, isn't it? Most of
the Roman Imperaturs were.
