Health Care Blues

Well I'm just not sure who to believe any more. However there are some that I definitely do NOT believe on this issue. First, anyone whose title begins with "Senator" or "Representative". Second, anyone past or presently addressed as "Mr. President".
Here are some reasons why.
1. My Grandfather was around when Social Security got started. He hated it, but he obeyed the rules. The government said we were incapable of taking care of our own money. Grandad was a graduate accountant (go figure). Early on, it actually looked like it might work. It would not allow a retiree to live on it but if you had a small nest egg on the side you might survive. Then Congress decided to tap into it and drain some of the "excess" into the general fund. Recently they ruled that you did not have to put any money in before you could draw some out (how stupid is that??). A few years later they are claiming that Social Security will go broke and leave us out in the cold. Well Duh! You dumbshits tapped in and spent the money. What you didn't spend, you gave away.
2. Medicare got started during my time. Again the Government was telling us we were too stupid to spend our own money wisely. Now we are told that Medicare is going bust. A lot of doctors refuse to accept medicare patients. Well Duh again!! The paperwork is more expensive to fill out and maintain than the medicine plus the treatment. What might work as a health care rule in New Jersey will just not work in Montana. An example was the national 55 mph speed limit.
3. Here comes government run health care. Yep, they are saying we are too stupid to use our own money to go to the Doctor. Anybody want to take any bets? Canada is an example. they stream into New York and and other northern states to pay cash for medical care that they would either never get or would have to wait two years after they died to be scheduled for.
Folks, Socialism just does NOT work. The U.S.S.R. was the "Union of Soviet Socialist Republics". Biggest damn example on the planet.
Do I know the answer?? No, but I can smell Bullshit a mile away and I don't need to taste it first to know what it is. Oh yeah, I am not a Nazi or a radical fascist. However I daily grow less tolerant of some one moving in and claiming that we have been doing it all wrong for a few hundred years. My first comment is if we are so wrong and you are so right, then why are you here? No offense, but It seems that you would have been much happier if you had stayed where you came from.
