Two Flaws in National Health Insurance

I have been thinking about national health insurance and I ragged to be for it. But now I am not positive, as there are two fundamental problems with any national health insurance thought.

The first spot can be summed up briefly. If you have national health care, the government will urge it. Speedily name anything that the government runs efficiently. Contemplate about how tickled you are to renew your driver’s license. You awe the long lines, the grievous clerks, their attitude of ” I don’t give a damn”. This is the same government that will be running national health insurance. You consider you despise your HMO now. You reflect that CIGNA stands for Called In Got No Respond, objective wait until it is taken over by the government clerks.

And let’s be true. You reflect there is too worthy administration and paper work alive to in the health care industry now? PLEASE! Again name one government program that has ever decreased paper work and administrative costs.

Remember Ronald Reagan’s well-known line. “The scariest phrase in the world is I am from the government and I am here to encourage you.”

In theory, national health care insurance sounds enormous. But the government cannot urge anything efficiently, the projected cost of national health insurance hovers somewhere around one trillion a year, and you are assuming the government will sustain these costs under control. Okay – you are allowed to snicker here. The words government and cost control do not belong in the same sentence. Again, name one government program known for its pleasant cost control efforts.

You may disfavor Blue Wrong, but they have shareholders they must picture to. They have a profit they must produce every year. They have an incentive to hold costs under control. What incentive does the government have to retain costs under control?

The other fundamental pickle with national health care is the very assumption that it rests upon. People need health care, therefore the government will provide it. Last time I checked, we already had a private sector providing health insurance.

Now believe about that. If the government can buy over any private sector business, because ” people need the product.”, that is, at best, a very shaky argument. And if the government can engage over a private sector business, because “they are charging too distinguished”, that again is a very scary proposition.

Observe we all need electricity. But if I don’t pay my bill, the power company will shut off my lights. That is not exquisite. Over 40 million Americans cannot afford electricity and something must be done about it. The positive respond is to have the goverrment select over my local electric company and provide me with electricity. That will convey the electric company two lessons. First, do not collect into business providing a service people “need”. As with national health care, if the government does not like the job you are doing, they will recall you over.

The second lesson. Honest like health care premiums, if the electric rates go up too high and the people cannot afford your needed service, the government can step in, engage over, and ensure that everyone has affordable premiums, I mean electric rates.

Hmm – government clerks running your health care. And giving the government permission to acquire over any business sector providing a essential service – electricity, housing, food, gas – honest so government clerks can control the costs. Those are two roads I don’t want to go down.

I have been thinking about national health insurance and I frail to be for it. But now I am not determined, as there are two fundamental problems with any national health insurance concept.

The first quandary can be summed up briefly. If you have national health care, the government will race it. Like A Flash name anything that the government runs efficiently. Believe about how overjoyed you are to renew your driver’s license. You panic the long lines, the low clerks, their attitude of ” I don’t give a damn”. This is the same government that will be running national health insurance. You deem you disapprove your HMO now. You assume that CIGNA stands for Called In Got No Respond, objective wait until it is taken over by the government clerks.

And let’s be loyal. You mediate there is too considerable administration and paper work enthusiastic in the health care industry now? PLEASE! Again name one government program that has ever decreased paper work and administrative costs.

Remember Ronald Reagan’s noted line. “The scariest phrase in the world is I am from the government and I am here to wait on you.”

In theory, national health care insurance sounds huge. But the government cannot hurry anything efficiently, the projected cost of national health insurance hovers somewhere around one trillion a year, and you are assuming the government will hold these costs under control. Okay – you are allowed to snicker here. The words government and cost control do not belong in the same sentence. Again, name one government program known for its apt cost control efforts.

You may abominate Blue Atrocious, but they have shareholders they must picture to. They have a profit they must beget every year. They have an incentive to withhold costs under control. What incentive does the government have to sustain costs under control?

The other fundamental jam with national health care is the very assumption that it rests upon. People need health care, therefore the government will provide it. Last time I checked, we already had a private sector providing health insurance.

Now deem about that. If the government can catch over any private sector business, because ” people need the product.”, that is, at best, a very shaky argument. And if the government can choose over a private sector business, because “they are charging too noteworthy”, that again is a very scary proposition.

Seek we all need electricity. But if I don’t pay my bill, the power company will shut off my lights. That is not delicate. Over 40 million Americans cannot afford electricity and something must be done about it. The clear respond is to have the goverrment recall over my local electric company and provide me with electricity. That will convey the electric company two lessons. First, do not secure into business providing a service people “need”. As with national health care, if the government does not like the job you are doing, they will seize you over.

The second lesson. Impartial like health care premiums, if the electric rates go up too high and the people cannot afford your needed service, the government can step in, buy over, and ensure that everyone has affordable premiums, I mean electric rates.

Hmm – government clerks running your health care. And giving the government permission to engage over any business sector providing a significant service – electricity, housing, food, gas – impartial so government clerks can control the costs. Those are two roads I don’t want to go down.
