Law, Human Affairs
It’s a slippery slope; what will be mandated next? Virginia seems to be the first state to declare its residents need not buy or be penalized.
Power tends to corrupt and Absolute Power corrupts, absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men. (I guess you’d have to say ‘great powerful men’, for me to agree.)
Health Insurance ‘tends to’ corrupt and Mandatory Health Insurance corrupts, absolutely. That’s a fair correlary as Health Insurance wields one-sixth of our economy including existing medicine men and their cave men patients without insurance. In my years with health insurance, doctors have denied care until we finally had to see a walk in pay clinic to get the treatment necessary to prevent certain death from pneumonia. Remember Muppets creator, he died of pneumonia in a few days. And there’s more.
In the late 1950’s when health insurance became a ‘tax exempt’ benefit that companies could give their workers, my dad said, ‘Prices will double’. All the hassle, paperwork, questioning that goes on between the new relationship between doctor and insurer, created a false fiduciary relationship that avoided the patient.
If any law should be enacted about health insurance, it should be that the doctor is paid by the insured from the insurer. The patient is the insured and he should be allowed to demand to decide if he benefited from the doctor. A lot better care will follow, and as a guarantee against abuse by the patient, his rates could increase if he decides unjustly to withhold payment from a doctor.
A smaller bureaucracy will be required as the two parties involved will be the most efficient in establishing worth. Even if you let it slide and pay the doctor under protest, the next time he will do better. Grace can work as well.
What is evident that both the corporation and the government want HUGE BUREAUCRACIES … they get more money, more power … and it works from the bottom up as well as top down.
And now comes the CENSUS. To see how invasive a government can be, I even got a letter from the government announcing I was going to get another letter, that this letter speaks of. Was that a government’s idea of …. prophecy? I can’t wait to see what a few Billion$ spent reads like.
