BIT O BACON: Amendment to Healthcare Reform.

BIT O BACON: 3/30/10 Amendment to Healthcare Reform.

I was reading what I wrote about the healthcare reform bill passing and I came to the conclusion that there was more I needed to cover and bring up. The first thing that comes to my attention is that we didn’t just enact healthcare reform we also brought in student loan reform too. The student loan reforms virtual mandates that the federal government be the only provider of student loans in this county in fact the majority of the supposed savings of the bill will come from this reform. Now if you coupled that with what the president said in the State of the Union address we might have an economic event that will destroy our economy in the least. What the president said is that Student loan payments will only be ten percent of the total income you bring in and the debt will go away after twenty years, ten if you work for the federal government. My thoughts on this are what’s going to happen when we start to see people not paying off the debt they owe. Who will be stuck with their bills and what will be the full affect of the collection of all that debt. Don’t get me wrong I’m in the student loan boat to and I hate it with a passion. But I was the one who put me here and I’m going to be the one gets me out of it not the government.

Single payer, public option, or insurance market place what’s the difference if in the end you have the majority of the funds coming from the federal government isn’t that socialized healthcare. Under the bill you will have sixty percent of all involved in the program will have the government pay for their healthcare does that seem fare. The other thing is we will have thirty two million people on the same plan will we have a system capable to treat everybody at comparable care. If you read the bill those in congress and the president will not even be forced into the same system as everybody else, I would think if you forcing me on to this plan you need to be right there with me. Lastly to the requirement that mandates that all citizens will to have to get healthcare insurance, for the first time you have a requirement to be an American citizen or you will be fined or jailed. The IRS will have the responsibility to insure that you have the adequate coverage if you don’t you get an additional tax at tax time. Just a little history lesson who do you think brought down Al Capone the treasury department. When Al Capone was responsible for hundreds of murders, prostitution rings, drugs, boot legging, bribing and acts of extortion what charges eventually sent him to prison Tax evasion. And now we have that same mentality again this time it’s healthcare.

In the end what’s going to happen ten years down the line how about twenty years down the line will we end up like Europe or Massachusetts where the government controlled healthcare is to expensive to maintain, or will we see a drop in quality of care because the money won’t be there to keep standards up. These doubts fill my mind when I think about it. For me it’s not what the Congressional Budget Office says it’s the real world standards will this legislation be helpful or harmful. Will this legislation help businesses or will it cause major issues destroying businesses in this county in turn killing job. Now the supporters say that businesses will have a tax credit for employee health coverage my answer to them is for how long, is it long term or is it short term because if it’s short term what happens when it goes away. Sizzle on while bacon is still going to be legal.
