<DIV><BR></DIV>Nice job in production and post with the video installment,
Gary.
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>But Ron Paul on <B>"socialized healthcare"?</B> He uses a combination of
<I>scare talk</I> and <I>non sequiturs</I>. Didn't convince me at
all. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><I>J'accuse.</I> I say it's time to stand up to Ron Paul and all the
others who have marinated our culture in their free-market flim-flam for
decades.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Let's have some debate. We came together on this mailing list with a
common interest. Maybe it's time to discuss our differences.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hal</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"government crisis rather than medical crisis" - this is pure rhetoric;
he offers <B>no facts</B> to back this up. Tell the 47 million people on
Medicare that you're going to cancel their evil, socialized, health care plans
and they can go apply for coverage in the free market. Tell the ones who are
not completely uninsurable due to a pre-existing condition that they can trade
the 3% overhead of Medicare for a private plan with 30% overhead where any
funds spent on actual health care are considered "medical loss".</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Ron Paul says most people don't talk about why medical costs are so high.
Actually there is a lot of discussion going on about this. Private insurers
keep 25% to 50% of premiums as profit and overhead. They spend our health care
dollars on CEO salaries, marketing, underwriting, and a mushrooming
bureaucracy whose sole purpose is to deny paying for care.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Ron Paul talks about choice without mentioning the limits of the present
system. We have 94% of insurance markets in the United States highly
concentrated, with insurers thriving in the anti-competitive "free market",
raking in enormous profits. This is hardly a "reaction to government" as Ron
Paul says; it is <I>profiteering</I> in the worst way, getting rich off the
suffering of others. One quarter to one half people employed in the U.S.
complain about <I>job lock</I> - we are stuck in dead-end jobs, just to get
some level of coverage. Meanwhile, health plans offered by employers -
decreasing every day - are limited in number and limited in benefits.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Tax credits are regressive. The let the fat cats off the hook and give a
few dollars to the rest of us. They don't help if you're unemployed or just
getting by.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>You want choice, look at Australia, where people pay a flat 1.5% personal
income tax to cover their major health care needs, regardless of who employs
them or whether they have a job at all. You are free to choose your doctor and
other practitioners. You are free to start your own business, take time
between jobs to care for a loved one, or change careers, and still have
uninterrupted affordable, quality care.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"if the government starts a program, we ought to have the right to opt
out of the program"... This is deceptively simplistic and ignores how deeply
interconnected people are today. Consider fire departments. Do you want to opt
out of paying for fire protection? If you do, you raise the cost for others
and put your neighbors at risk. What about programs to protect the
environment? Anyone living comfortably in this society is reaping the benefits
of a system we all put in place.</DIV>
