Concerns Abound With Pricey Health Care Reform

Do you want to take a number and wait for hours for nationalized health care?

Do you want to be seen hours later by the doctor or nurse, but then wait weeks to get a lab test done, and then be made to wait months for treatment?  

Visiting a primary care doctor; how long will it take under Health Care Reform?

This could be the future of medicine in America.

Yes, you’ll probably hear Pres. Barack Obama announcing that his health care reform plan will save Americans thousands of dollars a year. Do you believe that? And you may hear Obama announce today that some affiliated with the health care industry have promised to cut costs should health care reform pass.

In the midst of all those pompous announcements, ask yourself, do you want sub-par health care? Will you be happy with rationed health care? After all, the government will be holding the reins should health care reform pass, and let’s not fool ourselves. When it comes to the bottom line, don’t you think the government cares more about numbers and profit than it does about your health and whether you get a (possible) life-saving procedure or treatment?

There are so many countries to look at to see what America’s future could be with socialized medicine. Many who live in countries with socialized medicine and who need to get a major procedure done — and have the resources to do so — come to the U.S. to get their major medical needs taken care of, and who can blame them? Despite the problems our medical system has, it provides the best care in the world.

Our government is not known for running efficient government agencies. Do Americans really think the government is going to streamline the health care industry to the benefit of all? And do you believe that there will be no increase in taxes to pay for this health care reform, which the current administration has already acknowledged will be very expensive?

There’s no question that there’s a need for change in the health care industry, but do you think our government should be the one dictating the terms?

These are all questions to consider now, knowing the U.S. Senate is intent on bringing a health care reform bill to the Senate floor in July.
