Republicans & Healthcare

[CowTown]

If you're voting republican, I'm very curious as to how you feel they can help the healthcare situation. I just don't understand. Please share why you believe Romney or McCain will be the best person <b>in relation to healthcare</b>.

Considering everyone on this site is effected by CF (pre-existing condition) somehow and has to deal with insurance woes, please shed some light on why your republican candidate can help our healthcare system.

I just want to understand. Thanks. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

CowTown,

I know you're lookin for republican replies; but, I'll take a stab at this. They've all been brainwashed into thinking that a fair and equal insurance system with one payor is "socialized medicine" and is a death sentence for a CFer. The term socialized medicine has been successfully injected into American politics since about 1930. It was started by the American Medical Association and was a fear tactic attached to the negative term "socialism". A term as evil as communism at the time. Never mind the 1,000s and 1,000s of people who die every year in this country without insurance or the 45,000,000 Americans who have no insurance or the bankruptcies, 50% of which are healthcare related. But, oh thank God, we are not subjected to that damn socialized medicine. Hope you get some republican replies. Go Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I don't feel that they can help the healthcare situation. However, I can see that there are flaws in any healthcare system, and I don't think Obama or Hilary is necessarily going to make things better.

When I was in elementary school, I remember reading about FDR and the New Deal. I thought the New Deal was the greatest thing in the world, because that's what I was led to think. However, neither my text book nor my teacher told me about the people who fell through the cracks after the New Deal was put into place (There's a book called <u>The Forgotten Man</u> by Amity Shlaes that talks about this).

Anyway, it really all boils down to one question, do you want the government to be more involved with people's lives, or do you want the government to back off and allow people to make their own decisions? If the government is more involved, more people are helped, but only because the government forces other people to help them through taxes, etc. If the government backs off, people will have more freedom, but we will also have the responsibility to make the choice to help each other as individuals.

As a republican, I want the government to back off, and allow people the choice to help others of their own free will. I know it is not a perfect system; I am not claiming it is. A lot of people are going to fall through the cracks, and there are a lot of Ebeneezer Scrooges out there who will let those people fall through the cracks. However, there's also a lot of Mother Theresas out there who will work their darndest to catch those people. In the end, I think that is much more effective; not necessarily as a healthcare system, but as a society as a whole.

I understand your basic philosophy, and it works when you're healthy; however, I know of no friend, neighbor, church, or orgainization who has the resources or desire to help me with what amounts to a "mortgage payment" in medical bills every month that I am having a hard time keeping up with even with good insurance. Even with a master's degree and a good career, this disease has slammed me and no neighbor or church has the resources to help with that, especially in this Bush economy.
