Health Care Argument I Despise

   The argument used “Medicare is working OK” drives me nuts.  There is not a doubt in my mind; if people in this country thought for one minute Medicare was solvent, they would be 100% FOR, I repeat FOR the dreaded public option. 

   The problem is, people are smarter than they are given credit for in these matters.  They can see the problems regarding  the solvency of government programs. I don’t think they are as much against government as they are worried about whether or not it can sustain itself as a viable program.

   They say - ‘everyone’ will have access to insurance, and fined if they do not participate. Come on!  Do you believe that? How in the name of common sense will they fine someone who can’t put food on the table because they are not buying insurance?  Oh, then you mean, everyone will NOT have to buy insurance, right???  You can see from the gitgo it is unsustainable.

   There is so very much the government could do without destroying the entire system. Oh well… we elected em, we deserve em.
