Obama Health Tax! Seriously!?!?!?!?!?

With the passing of ObamaCrap comes the expected wave of sore winners that is the left. I even had a comment asking if us conservatives in WI will beat our wives because we lost like Packers fans do.
Sore winners does not adequately cover it.
However, as a strong conservative, and believer in the Constitutional Republic we live in, I turn towards November with eagerness. I will not complain, demand a recall (he he he), or make excuses. I will vote!  I will ensure the fire in me burns bigger and bigger every day until I get to the booth, SHOW MY ID :-), and get my ballot.

ObamaCare administered its first drug yesterday, a shot of adrenalin to the Conservative base.

My more liberal friends are of course disgusted with my need to protect the evil corporations, and crap on the sick, and uninsurable. This in depth analysis of the type of person I am is of course utterly false. Anyone who really knows me, knows I am more Ron Paul-Esq when it comes to my hate of corporatism, and my belief that we have been far from a free-market for quite some time.  But I digress.

Why do I want ObamaCare gone? My simple answer is because of the wild success that Medicare and Medicaid are. I am not a big fan of tax increases at all, let alone the ones that cause the system to degrade at an exponential rate. Liberal feel good theory does not ever work in practice. You cannot overload the healthcare system with people and lower the payout for services without degrading the quality of service. NO BUSINESS CAN DO THAT.

So lets look at the companies who CAN sell health successfully. The evil insurance companies, how do they do it? They build a model based on a lot of thought and research that allows them to cover as many people as possible, offer coverage to as many doctors as possible, with the best customer service possible, all while breaking even or turning a profit to stay in business. Even if you are a great business sometimes bad things can happen. People can slip through the cracks.

 

It also means that there has to be a rule regarding the use of its services. In order to offer a service that can payout to you, more than you put in, the company has to gamble...well with your life. If an insurance company allowed people with pre-existing conditions to join coverage willy nilly, no one would sign up until they had a medical problem. No money would be made and the company would go out of business.

For every sob story there are a thousand life saving stories. Does it suck that people get denied coverage? Absolutely! However should everyone be forced to suffer because there are denials of a few? Absolutely NOT!

This small percentage is where the real human charity comes into play. If my neighbor had a medical condition and could not get insurance, you bet your ass I would give him or her money to help. However if someone in California is in the same situation. I do not feel this is my concern. I am not heartless, I just feel it is that persons neighbors job to help him or her. Hell, they could ask their bleeding heart liberal Hollywood stars to cover it.

At the end of the day, Insurance companies employ thousands, and payout millions to save lives. They are a business that works. Is it perfect? No and it never will be. Will it improve?
YES! but only if we allow the free market to dictate the improvements.   

I refuse to celebrate the worlds largest tax increase this close to the celebration of our independence.  ~ME


P.S. Keep in mind this is one of the small reasons why Obamacare has already failed. Don't even ask me about trial Lawyers and Tort reform......Bastards.
