Re: Social Security in America: Writing Off The El
Medicare and Medicaid are a safety net for the elderly and poor. It is not my responsibillty to pay for medical isurance for those who are not motivated enouogh to get an education or learn a skill that will get them a job that offers medical insurance or that pays enough for them to buy that medical insurance.
That is not mean it is just a fact. The only way to insure the millions of people who will not better themselves to get a decent job is for those of us who have to pay for it.
How in the world can you mandate that somebody content with working at McDonalds for $8 an hour buys medical insurance when it costs $500-$800 per months for family coverage? The answer is socialist want to get in my pocket to pay for it.
How about High Schools teaching kids that they better plan on a college education or technical school training so they can pursue a CAREER. One that will pay enough for them to purchase medical insurance for their families.
All socialized medicine is going to do is pull down the quality of medical care for all of us. Once the Federal Government starts making decisions on how to allocate limited resources ( and there is no doubt they will be limited as even higher taxes will not pay for covering millions of more people who will not be able to pay for coverage themselves) the losers will be those determined to be more of a risk to give proper medical care to.
For example the elderly (I mean they are going to die soon anyway - right?) and the obese, chronically ill, etc.
I recently posted a link to a news article where a UK physican claims that their National Health Services "end of life" "pathway" and "protocol" has been misused to prematurely kill off thousands of citizens because they were too much trouble to treat, the hospital was too full, etc.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
