I am totally clueless on this one and, like most of you, have no idea whatsoever the future will bring on this one. I have been told that that Universal Healthcare is a socialist policy and would be the gateway to allowing the total and complete takeover of every individual right by the Government. No more independence. No more Democracy. No more choice. We would all become Commies! Well, I checked around and … Holy God they were right! If we adopted socialized medicine we would end up the same way as all the other Commie strongholds surrounding us. Countries like Great Britain and France and Canada! What was our government thinking when they proposed this? Those countries are full of enslaved citizens with no civil rights whatsoever! They don’t have a cool Democracy like we do, they have Evil Republics. They elect Presidents and then force them to share power with a Prime Minister. This is just sick. They all have Constitutions of course but theirs couldn’t possibly be as cool as ours is. After all, we have the Senate and the House of Representatives. They have some dastardly organization made up of elected officials called a “Parliament”. This insidious group of politicians gathers regularly and enacts laws that they decide are in the best interests of their countrymen. How Communist is that!

Everyone is also scared that we will all have to pay higher tax percentages to provide healthcare for the poor or extremely unhealthy. We don’t have to do that with private insurance. Well, under the current system, you don’t have to worry about paying for the poor or the illegals because they can’t afford health insurance. But your rates keep going up every year because the people who can afford your insurance, especially if they can’t be kicked to the curb with pre-existing conditions because they are covered under their employers plan, go out and do stupid things like bungee jump or ski or jump out of airplanes. They smoke or drink or do drugs because they have jobs and they can afford to. They take vacations to third world countries and drink the water. They have cosmetic procedures and tell the insurance companies that they needed the boob job because their tits were giving them scoliosis. They get older and sicker and need more healthcare. So while you won’t have to shoulder the burden for the poor or the indigent, you do have shoulder the burden for the working middle class and the rich. And we know what a needy pathetic bunch of whiners they are. Every time they get a fever, a cold or the flu they go running to the doctor. If their kid gets a childhood disease, instead of just shoving a thermometer up the kid’s ass and a Tylenol down his throat, they go running to the hospital. If they have cancer, they go running all over the place trying every quack holistic program or procedure and every experimental drug on the planet on the insurance company’s dime trying to save their sorry asses instead of going home and dying with dignity in front of the t.v. with a cookie and a glass of milk. If they would just keep their sick asses at home like the poor people do instead of wasting the doctors’ valuable time with non life-threatening conditions, our premiums would be cheaper. These people are the Communists within; the domestic terrorists that our military swears to defend us from. Incidentally, we do pay higher taxes to care for the poor and the infirm. They just call it something else so we won’t stage a coup. HA! GOTCHA!
