The Business of Healthcare

If you are reading this blog site you are probably thinking the exact same thing, I’ve had enough of these faking people equating health care reform with the complete destruction of the US!  Guess what?  The US is already in shambles!  The only thing that health-care reform aims to do is improve the quality of life for everyone in the nation.  Though, if you want to keep paying your high insurance premiums and risk the chance of being dropped as soon as you get an illness that will actually cost money to be cured, then have fun!  Let’s make health-care optional for those idiots.

Here is a list of some arguments against universal health care, well, if you can even call them arguments.

Most popular arguments used by gun-toting, b*tch-slapping, right-wing jackoffs:
1. Universal health care will be funded using my tax dollars!  I don’t want to pay more in taxes!
2. Universal health care means that there will be less innovation in medicine and less motivation for doctors and therefore people will die (and sooner).
3. The government will have a monopoly over health insurance.
4. My tax dollars will fund abortions.
5. The government will decide when my grandparents will die via government run death panels. "If Obama-Care is passed, the same insidious protocols - "Advance Care Planning" - will be set into place to cut the cost of his massive government health care program. Our senior citizens will receive mandated appointments for counseling that will determine if they receive minimal medical treatment or are told to go home and die". –Marie Jon of Right Side News
6.    Universal health care will cover illegal immigrants.

You must forgive me as I probably made them sound halfway coherent.  However, I wanted to be able to present my counter argument against something rather than random babbling with the words “god” and “proud to be an American” thrown in between.

Counter-arguments (numbers coincide with above points):
1. Yes, health care will be funded by your tax dollars.  You are making an investment in yourself jackass!  When you get older and you actually need to lean on the health care system there will be younger people in the working sector that will be funding your numerous hospital and doctor visits.  It is called helping the community, you give today and “they” give tomorrow.  It is very basic and ensures a higher quality of life for all involved!  According to the 2007 US Census 45.7 million US citizens were living without healthcare.  This is inexcusable when we are spending billions of dollars every year to kill foreigners (I have a whole different beef with the war, that can be left for another article)!

2. First of all, the US is the only industrialized nation without universal healthcare.  Do you really think none of the other industrialized nations have sufficient and innovative health care??  Hong Kong performed the very first liver transplant and, you guessed it, they have universal health care!  In terms of the whole population dying away as soon as we get universal health care, give me a faking break!  The US is currently ranked, by the UN Life Expectancy ratings, at #38 for the highest life expectancy.  Of the 37 nations ranked above (Japan being the highest rated), how many do you think have universal health care?  From my research online, I could find out easily that at least 32 of those nations have universal health care.  So I think it is safe to say that the life expectancy might even increase if everyone is given access to medical treatment, novel concept!
