Health Care

There's a difference between house and health insurance. If you have a house and you wish to insure it in case of accident- that's great, I'm all for it. Because if you don't have insurance, nobody's going to repair your house, right?

Is this a good idea to have this same equation regarding the health our our citizens? If you don't have (can't afford) insurance, then oh well, but we're not going to help you? Is that the greatest nation on earth? Is it Christian?

Harry Belafonte said, "To have medicine that can heal the sick, and comfort the dying, and to abstain from giving it, is an act of terror." Halleluyah!

A broken arm (cast + minor "surgery") can cost $50,000 ... is that right? If someone falls and breaks their arm, they may have to sell their house? What kind of freedom is that?

The costs of health care are skyrocketing, yet no politicans ask why, they just talk about getting more people on insurance. The costs are skyrocketing because of insurance. The insurance companies pretend that they're raising rates to cover their costs... when actually that's a lie. This scumbag CEO "earned" $125 Million. Wouldn't it be cool if he had a sudden awakening that his greed is disgusting... and he probably calls himself a Christian. If we paid the doctor directly, and eliminated these Insurance CEO leeches, the cost of health care would drop dramatically.

How many times have you heard, "can't do that- insurance." The insurance system has actually made America less free. People are not free to do as they wish, because if someone gets hurt, it could cost a fortune.

Here's a little idea that I'd love to see come to fruition in subdivions across the country. Developers could choose a lot on the subdivision to be the community lot, with garden space and a little park for the kids. Right now no developers will do this because of insurance. Instead every family builds their own swingset and sandbox...

The point is, how many other circumstances like this are there, where a good idea that will benefit all is over-ruled by insurance.

I say it's time to end health insurance altogether. I say it's time that every person in America gets the care they need- period. Not only those with the money- everyone. I believe that's what Jesus would do- heal the sick, not turn them away for lack of funds.
