For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Mark 13:6
When you have a jar broken into a million pieces and you try to put it back together it is not going to look as good as it did originally. The Democrat Party purposely broke the insurance industry through Marxist mandates since they knew better than the free market and hate capitalism. They made sure to put every liberal wish list and believed if you could make the yout and rich pay for it, the plan would work since they are all so much smarter than those insurance actuaries. What they were really attempting was the destruction another targeted industry and the installation of Gummit hospitals where they decide who lives and dies and what you have to agree to for survival.
Two actuaries were out hunting rabbits. As they were sitting and talking a jackrabbit runs across an opening and the first one shoots hitting just below him. A bit later a second one streaks across the opening and he hits just above it. They both start jumping up and down shouting, “We hit it, we hit it!” Actuary jokes are few and far between, but this is no laughing matter or one we can play politics. No matter what the plan is nobody is going to like it since we are trying to make a broken glass to hold water. The question is how do you make insurance affordable for someone who is getting millions of dollars’ worth of healthcare a year? Do you cover them or let them die? You cover them.
The idea of insurance was invented by Ben Franklin to share the risk of rebuilding a house if it burned down and then spread to other risks including life and health. The hardest to insure is health since trying to spread the risk among healthy people to cover the unhealthy and aged is nearly impossible. You have to have enough young men whose only real risk is accident which is a low cost use to pay for the birthing women and elderly who use it more frequently and are more costly. Mostly you have to pay for the lawyers who leach onto the healthcare industry. The idea is to entice young men who do not use doctors to pay for something they hope they never need when they would rather spend their hard earned dollars on a fast Vette and a Brunette.
The Marxist solution as always is Central Planning in the model of their first love, Russia. They want Moscow on the Potomac to replace the insurance industry and nationalize all the hospitals. Once this is done you will have to have every doctor and medical care approved by the State and you become its slave. They can then develop a matrix which says who does and does not receive their heart surgery or cancer treatments based on their criteria deciding literally who lives and dies. You just have to hope a regime as corrupt as Odumbo does not take power and slip your Party affiliation into that matrix and make their decisions on those criteria as they apparently did for who gets spied on by the NSA. Even they are not sick enough to affect elections through life and death decisions, no really.
According to Alexandr Sotzhenitsyn this is exactly how the Soviet system worked. They had Party member hospitals and the rest of the Soviet Union clinics. Neither of them received American type medical coverage, but Party members had as good a care as was possible and non-Party citizens which was the remaining ninety percent received substandard care where you brought your own sheets and had family members bring you food until you were released to die at home with a handful of pills. This is very similar to the Blue Pill Barak Hussain talked about for the eighty year old grandmother needing heart surgery. How can some bureaucrat a thousand miles away decide who gets heart surgery and who does not? This is a doctor’s decision for his patient who he has sworn to keep on the voter rolls..er alive.
This is their goal to make our healthcare just as the substandard healthcare of their Marxist Motherland. President Trump and the Repubs scored an important victory to stop this takeover. It is not the plan most of Trump’s supporters wanted or the plan it will eventually become, but it is the first step. The most important piece of this bill is the ability of states to walk away from O-care and let them experiment on their own plans.
This is the first step of being able to allow the market to invent plans to cover the uninsurable. They now have high risk pools they are inventing while the gummit subsidizes them to start which eventually can walk away from and let the insurance industry fund the pools as they figure out how to make them marketable. In a transit society these are the toughest ones to insure.
Of course Hollywierd is pushing the Obama plan as the greatest thing since Social Security. Never mind none of them are paying $15K a year with $5K deductibles, they have group insurances with very low premiums and co-pays. Jimmy Kimmel gets up and pretends he is a regular person and his newborn has a heart defect that happens to hundreds of babies per day and then used his baby as a club to beat up President Trump’s plan.
He overstated the issue as he in no way was at risk of having to pay for the half million dollar surgery, although he should have volunteered to pay it so someone else could have it done for their kid. He makes twenty million a year so it was hardly a burden most Americans face. His son was never in risk of not having coverage since he is covered under Kimmel’s policy at birth and the defect will be insurable in five to ten years if no complications which is normally the case.
If Kimmel was something other than a political hack he would have simply thanked the doctors, nurses, hospital and whichever pagan god he worships and left the Obama speech out of it, but like all Democrats he had to let us know he is superior and had to lecture America and use his newborn son as a baseball bat.
Nobody should like the new plan and will not. One of the important pieces it does have is a medical expense savings plan which dollars invested get tax offsets. These plans can be saved like an IRA and you can grow them throughout your life making it attractive to young men and women. This leads to more and more self-insurance which is the goal for market based care. It lowers the claims processed which is a large expense for the industry and makes the user more accountable for their own care and forces competition into the health industry.
This is a Yuge victory for President Trump and the Repubs. If he can push this past McCain then the unraveling of MarxCare can begin without the pain and suffering which is happening now and far worse coming. Most self insured over fifty are seriously considering dropping their coverage and risking a cataclysmic disease rather than paying ridiculous premiums. This plan begins the process of buying bare bone coverage to cover that onetime event while taking care of the minor surgeries through the savings plan.
This bill is a giant first step of slowing the momentum of the Titanic and hopefully missing the iceberg. If nothing else it is an attempt to help Americans hurting from the reckless attempt by the Dems to fundamentally destroy our insurance system. They stopped the possibility for healthcare to be used as a tool to enslave Jimmy Kimmel and force him to say what they want for approval to save his son’s life.
Pray America woke
