House votes to expand health insurance program for children
”How does anyone of us decide, ‘You will have health care and you will not,’ in a country as great as ours when you are talking about children,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, said Tuesday night in a speech on the House floor.
I’ll tell you how - YOU DON’T. If someone ones to buy health care then that is their decision, not the government’s to make for them. “But the children!” they scream! What did the children do before there was health insurance? Why, the same thing we should all be doing today, paying your own bills. What we’re buying today isn’t health insurance, but a health care payment plan. A lot of people out there want to pay $x per month to get all the health care they want. And that’s fine, if you want to do that then go buy that plan, but government has not place fixing prices for those plans. The private market should be handling that. That way, if you only want catastrophic (actual health insurance), then you would be able to buy that plan as well, but government has to get it’s fingers in and screw with things. Why? Power, pure and simple. If they control your access to health care, through forcing you to purchase one of their approved plans, and they control what doctors you can see, and what specialists you get referrals to, and then they make it illegal to pay privately, why they then control you.
