The History of Health Care

Did you know that not too long ago people did not require medical insurance? Less than fifty years ago people paid cash or used credit for medical care which was true for most of the history of our nation. Indeed, medical care was once so accessible and affordable that most people did not need insurance to pay their medical bills. Then, medical Doctors and Insurance companies began to lobby government to 'regulate' (i.e. monopolize) health care to 'improve' it. Doctors wanted to limit competition from other practitioners and lobbied government to artificially restrict the number of entries into the medical field and government limited teaching hospitals and medical school opportunities by regulation. Medical practitioners wanted to receive their money instantly and not have to wait for payments and the Insurance Companies wanted to siphon off some of the cash in the health care industry. Naturally this raised the price of health care which then resulted in higher medical fees and costs. So it went, round and round for sixty years until the market no longer functioned as government 'fixed' the problems they alone had created and then dumped the responsibility on employers (driving most either out of business or offshore). For over fifty years, socialists tried to take over health care by endless regulation as a means of centralizing and monopolizing all markets in America to create a dependence (much like drug lords consolidate addiction to create slaves). The legal profession then took note of all the new money available and started cashing in on malpractice lawsuits which was a lucrative target in an industry that had unlimited liability since they tried to save the terminally ill and dying. Round and round it went with government expansion in Medicare, Medicaid, Disability and Prescription drug programs as unlimited federal taxpayer money drove prices to the moon which very few can now afford. Everyone financially benefited except the patients and the taxpayers. Now, like all socialist controlled markets, health care is failing yet again.

Obamacare is the socialist sinkhole above a fifty year cesspool that was passed into law as a desperate last attempt to save Medicare and Medicaid from going broke. Perhaps we should use the term 'Broke' for all the socialist programs like Fannie, Freddie, Sallie, Socialist Insecurity as similar forms of socialist bankruptcy. Socialism creates and thrives on shortages. When any good or service becomes scarce and expensive, the market has a supply demand imbalance (maintained by government). It's not if socialism will bankrupt any industry but rather when. However, unlike the other socialist programs that mostly represent theft, scarcity and bankruptcy of our taxpayers by government, our socialists have now created Obamacare that will increase the killing of our citizens. People you know, and people you care about, will soon die at the hands of unaccountable bureaucrats in Washington.

I would use the word murder but for the fact that, in the Wiemar Republic, national socialist judges ruled that killing part of the population, when conducted by the state, was neither unlawful nor legally murder. Our national socialists like Pelosi, Reid and Obama have already legalized the killing that shall come through death panels. Our national socialist judges on the Supreme Court have also endorsed legalized killing as a legitimate function of Government in America. Little wonder our federal government has bought a billion bullets since Obama took office. Five bullets have been purchased by our federal government for every man woman and child in America to help solve our socialist created problems (enough to fight wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan for thirty years). Whom do they intend to shoot that would require billions of bullets (terrorists, illegal aliens, or citizens who are ill and desperate to get medical help)? There seems to be great fear among our government leaders. Who do they fear so much that they feel the need to arm themselves with such an arsenal? Why does government now fear the very people they claim to serve? What has changed that justifies their fears? Could it be the eminent collapse and failure of Socialism once again?

Death by Socialist government is nothing new. Sixty million missing citizens from abortions attest to the fact that Americans and our judicial systems allows and sanctions infanticide in what some have called the American Holocaust. Now our government under Obamacare will increase that killing for both the very young, very old, and anyone else they choose by denying critical health care. Death by government should be tracked by the CDC because an epidemic of murderous killing will now expand far beyond infants through Obamacare. What it means, when government controls your health care, is that you have no choices in your medical treatment – a faceless bureaucrat decides everything including whether you get to live or die. Our only guarantee is that the Obamanation government class will have substantially better health care than the taxpayer class just like they have better retirement benefits and are insulated from socialist created economic calamities.

Many Canadians who suffer under a similar, though now less lethal, health care system used to flee to America to get care that is unavailable at any price in Canada. Called socialized medicine in Canada, our deadlier system is called Obamacare in America where health care is fast becoming an incredibly expensive, state sponsored, hospice and mortuary service. Indeed many of us will probably be cremated at government expense as past national socialist ovens are stoked once again to lower the cost of the final solution burials possibly requiring more socialist subsidies for mass funerals than for health care.

Socialist monopolies like Medicare, Medicaid and Socialist Insecurity are failing and going broke. Why else would our government under Obama purchase billions of bullets and military equipment for a so called federal police force (FPS). However, there is new hope that our Supreme Court, as presently composed, will stop sanctioning, rationalizing, legalizing and increasing the continued killing of our citizens by government in America. Count the dead and number the slaves to begin to understand the national socialist democrats as another Wiemar history repeats itself through Obamacare death panels that will implement the ideology of national socialism pioneered in Nazi Germany.

Obamacare is an unaffordable health care act, falsely labeled as the Affordable Care Act, that includes twenty new taxes comprising the largest tax hike and the largest deficits in American history. Obamacare includes socialist economic time bombs which are designed to destroy the American economy, when fully implemented, while enslaving future generations through taxation. Socialists always lie about your consumer choices such as; “If you like your plan, you can keep it.” Obamacare was another attack on American liberty disguised with the usual socialist propaganda of lies. Implied in Obama’s lies are that, if you like them, you may also keep your liberty, bible, guns, economic freedoms and perhaps your life (but only if you are a member of their elite ruling class).

Four Lessons of History:

1. If you want less of anything all you have to do is regulate it and tax it more.
2. If you want more of anything, then you must tax it less and regulate it less.
3. Socialists create artificial shortages and monopoly to enslave individuals.
4. To eliminate socialist created shortages, end government control of markets.

Note: The word NAZI is the German contraction for national socialism which is a warning to any student of history. As national socialists like Feinstein, Pelosi, Hillary, Bernie and Obama silently sanction NAZI tactics of promoting violence against political opposition, the dangers of collectivist tyranny here in America becomes grave, literally, in more ways than just health care.
