Healthcare/Financial Reform

by Scott H. Friday, Nov. 21, 2008 at 5:49 PM

Healthcare Reform = The "Bailout" We ALL Need

Socialized, to most Americans this is a negative term.

But look closer my friends, we already have Socialized Police, Fire Department, Schools and the list goes on.

So let’s get over the fear of this word.

If you like we can replace Socialized with “Paid With Tax Dollars”

Lets face it this “Bailout” we are going through will not do anything but get the rich CEO’s richer and wont do anything for the average American that busts his and her butt every day.

Plus I really don’t think AIG CEOs need any more vacations on the American taxpayer expense.

My plan is very simple.

If we used our tax dollars to fund healthcare it will put a lot of money back in the pockets of the hard working American citizen.

Some families pay as much as 00 a month just in case they have an emergency or need to go to the doctor. Imagine if this money was not spent on healthcare, do you think most of would go back into the economy via more spending?

This also might just be the Bailout they need to save their homes.

For businesses there is ample savings too (or at least the ones that help subsidize their employee’s healthcare) The money they would save by not contributing to their employees healthcare could be the bailout they need too.

It’s a Win Win for all not a select few.

This system is already being done in many other countries that are light years ahead of the United States in the Care of the health of their citizens.

Can we actually say our systems priority is the healthcare of its people? I feel its more about profit.

So this system is not abused there should be a nominal fee each time you see a doctor.

General practitioner:

Specialist:

Emergency room:

All elective procedures are paid 100% by the patient.

(Just examples)

You ask what will happen to all the employees of the insurance companies.

There will be many positions available for administration, technical support, management, medical technicians etc. With our tax dollars we should be able to open hospitals not close them and this will require many people to fill these positions.

Last but not least people, don’t think for a minute we do not have the money to do this.

We just gave the Wall Street fat cats ,000,000,000 of our tax dollars.

If we do not demand change IT WILL NOT HAPPEN!!!!!!!
