I found this article about the "healthcare overhaul" going on in Congress right now:
At first glance, this is good news - any trouble for this particular nightmare, any obstacle, is a blessing. Anything to buy time so more folks can see that this is a dead end (and a way to end up dead). But then you realize, upon reading it, that the bad news is that some Democrats are complaining that the current draft bill isn't complicated enough. Awesome.
Here's the thing: the government wants us to have health care. Ok, fine. Health care can be purchased with money. Right, check. The government is going to take away more of our money, making us each less capable of purchasing health care. Huh? The government is then going to give us what it decides is "health care." Uhhh...
Wouldn't it be easier to... I don't know... not take our money from us if we purchase health insurance or pay out of pocket for medical expenses? Maybe that would save a few steps and a few thousand bureaucrats? How about unhooking Health Savings Accounts from insurance policies? Why must you have a specific type of policy to begin building an HSA? Wouldn't simple stuff like this make more sense than thousands of pages of bills that will never be read before being voted on?
Of course it would, which is precisely why Congress won't do that. They're going to create a twisted, convoluted, inefficient "system" that would put Rube Goldberg to shame. Why? So they can employ more bureaucrats.
THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO SACRIFICE YOUR HEALTH AND LONGEVITY SO A JACKASS BUREAUCRAT LOSER CAN HAVE A JOB. THEY'RE GOING TO KILL YOU FOR MONEY.
That's right. You're going to die in pain in a filthy hospital somewhere so some government stooge can work 30 hours a week (if that), drive a nice car, live in a nice house, and take 30 days of paid vacation every year... with your money.
