America we've been fed this line, "If we don't do something about health care now our economy will be ruined." That's the same rhetoric Bill and Hilary Clinton used in 1993 to promote their health care initiative. What followed was the greatest economic boom in our nation's history. It's simply a scare tactic to move their agenda forward.
Truth be told Washington has the power to reform health care without legislation. Show me you can run existing programs without fraud and waste.
Medicaid-bankrupt
Medicare-bankrupt
Social Security-bankrupt
Post Office-bankrupt
Amtrak-bankrupt
Medicare and Medicaid were created in 1965 and signed into law by President LB Johnson. One has to wonder how we survived the birth of a nation, civil war, two world wars, several conflicts, and 149 years without these entitlement programs. How did we exist? These programs have been in existence for forty four years and are the single biggest threat to our nation and our economy we've ever faced, (According to our democratic politicians). Yet Washington's cure is more of the same. Who's buying this bill of goods?
Politicians are like a herd of spoiled brats that didn't learn the lessons of childhood. How often were we told to take care of what we had, or there will be no more? Medicare and medicaid fraud and waste have been present since the programs began. I'm not ready to pile another program on top of this mismanaged mess, are you? A realistic and achievable solution is right in the grasp of these legislators, yet their option is to hand more bureaucracy on the taxpayer.
Don't come to us and complain that entitlement programs government created are soon to be the downfall of our economy. Nothing in the Constitution suggests this is the responsibility or the job description of elected officials. Isn't it telling the founding fathers made no provisions for entitlement programs to be gifted to our citizens? They fore saw this mess, that's why the power to do it wasn't written into the founding documents.
If you can't eliminate the fraud and waste in the existing programs, abolish them. Don't come to the table for seconds when your plate is already full!
God Bless
Capt. Bill
