March 23rd 2010 a landmark bill passed today and the controversy begins. Ron Paul laid an egg and I did too!
“If costs were lowered, more people could simply pay for what they need out of pocket, as they were able to do before government got so involved. Instead, in the name of going after greedy insurance companies, the federal government is going to make people even more beholden to them by mandating that everyone buy their product!” – Ron Paul March 23, 2010
He goes on to implicate the media, not just in this instance, as fooling the public for payoffs and benefits from corporations. Although this stance seems a tad radical, he may not be far off. 1984 by George Orwell and V for Vendetta are great mediums depicting Big Brother’s manipulation on the masses. With growing government control we may find an increase in doctors like the one below, seemingly trustworthy and handsome yet, underpaid and deviant.
I found this interpreted version of the Health Care Bill from a U.S. military officer here:

This is the House interpretation here:

There seems to be many different interpretations. So who is telling the truth? It is very difficult for the lay person to interpret the actual 1,017 page bill with factual results. So who can you trust to give you the facts and make a decision, or do we even have a say anyway? What it really comes down to is money, as long as you can overlook the infringement of one’s Constitutional Right of Liberty.
Back to money, what will I have to pay for medical care (hospital, dental, vision, surgery, etc.) based on my AGI from my yearly return? Let’s use our current social form of health care Medicaid, as an example:
Your husband is out of work and your wife grosses $24,000 per year, which puts you $100 giveth or taketh over to qualify however, your children “may” still be covered. This is why most college grads, uneducated adults, and unemployed or underemployed people lack health insurance, because they simply cannot afford it. Yet, do not qualify for Medicaid because of their ridiculous income cutoffs. Even New York Health Care Plus plans are expensive, not $600 per month, but $200-400 depending on which plan you have.
The big question is how will the cutoffs change in favor of the underpaid, unemployed, and underemployed demographic and what exactly will it cost, especially since we will have to purchase the product or be fined heavily? Then there is the demographic that can afford private quality health insurance who are seriously concerned about the future quality of health care if the government is now in control.
Lastly, t-shirts and health care go together like the media in bed with corporations and government. Rock this DHT tee shirt at dishonestees.com. Fuel the Revolution!
