The answer to health care in America is not socialized medicine

Actually health care will soon be one fifth of our gross domestic product. The solution is going back to a system like we had before insurance companies and all the various government medical programs added their bureaucratic costs. With one difference. We will need a sliding scale payment system for the really poor and we will need catastrophic medical coverage for everyone. I wrote an article over a year ago on how this can be done. It will be at least one third less costly than the expensive inadequate system that we have now.

Time for the truth about health care

If America is not careful, it could soon see one-seventh of its gross domestic product nationalized – the biggest step toward socialism this country has ever taken.

That’s what will happen if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton is elected president and the Democrats control the Congress. (Heck, it might even happen if John McCain is elected.)

What’s missing from the political debate about health care are ideas
about how to bring down the cost – to make it more affordable. The
answer is not nationalizing the industry. The answer is not doing more of the same. The answer is not 100 percent third-party payments. The answer is not less accountability to the patients.

But that’s what both Hillary and Obama and most of the Democrats in Congress believe is the answer.

Too many Americans agree with them – because they are just not smart enough to see through the smokescreen.
