As promised, Republicans in the House voted to overturn the recent health care legislation and stated some goals for reform. They basically agreed to focus on cutting waste, fraud and abuse; expanding insurance coverage; reducing premiums; allowing people to keep the coverage they have and also block federal funding of abortion, one of their never-ending goals.
But what's most interesting to me is, they've continually tried to introduce medical malpractice lawsuit limits and to expand medical savings accounts all along, because these two areas are critical to reducing health care costs, yet the Democrat majority has blocked them for the past five years. So, on one hand you have a health care bill that can't possibly reduce costs, and in fact, will likely increase them and an opposing party that refuses to face facts. To me, that's not only ridiculous, its outright theft of voter's funds.
A new bill supported by Congressman Paul Broun, Republican from Georgia, who's also a family physician, would let people buy insurance across state lines, allow individuals and businesses to create insurance associations to reduce costs, create high-risk pools to cover those with pre-existing conditions and make all health care costs 100 percent tax deductible. But, it seems that any kind of proposal involving thought and consideration upsets Democrats for some reason, as does any kind of legislation that deals with truths.
Now, I don't know what kind of Utopian la-la land typical liberals live in, but I surely know it doesn't exist on Earth. And if they want to go on preaching their version of wealth redistribution from lecterns in education that's fine with me. But, there comes a time when pipe dreams can no longer be afforded, and these folks had better wake up pretty soon, because taxpayer's funds have run out.
That's it for today folks.
Adios
