Socialized Healthcare

As I catch glimpses of the news and read the headlines of the newspapers, I see that the Obama group is pushing for Nationalized health care.

 

At first glimpse, this seems like a good thing.  No one would go without health care and the cost of said care would be controlled by the government.

 

However, if you were to look deeper, you might see more problems with this idea than solutions.

 

Ask a Canadian if they like their healthcare plan.  Ask them how long does it take to schedule doctor appointments and surgery.  Find out if they like their health care provider or did they wish they could switch more readily.

 

Anytime our government has tried to control something, it has meant more taxes, more mistakes, and more red tape without solving the real issues.  Who is going to pay for this health care?  We are – through taxes.

 

This is another way for our government to take our Capitalistic freedoms away from us and create a Socialistic society.  How can we be a free country if we are controlled through Socialism?

 

I urge all readers to use whatever political opportunities you have to fight this change.  There has got to be a better solution that doesn’t risk our freedoms.

 

Your voice can be heard…
