Speaking as an expert and a former hospital administrator with a
masters degree in Health Care Administration (from the leading
university in the field) and years of experience, I can tell you that
the outfall from a national health care, single payer or
government-mandated system is crystal clear – and it's frightening.
If we get universal national health care coverage (Hillarycare) and
everyone has access to more or less FREE medical care, the demand for
care will skyrocket. The supply will not, cannot, keep up. It's simple
Economics 101 (which, it appears, none of our legislators have
studied). Demand will outstrip supply.
Then, to control skyrocketing costs from skyrocketing demand, the
government must set maximum payment levels that, just like today, will
not cover the cost of providing health care people demand, deserve or
what is good medical care. So, like in all the countries with
socialized medicine, everyone goes on a waiting list; everyone suffers.
Since the government won't pay doctors and other professionals what
they want and deserve for their services, many talented, intelligent
people will not go into medicine as a profession (no money in it) or
will drop out, thus straining the supply side of the system to the
limit. This means more waiting time and lower quality of care.
This will be a disaster. It is a truism that the government should
support a vital, healthy population. We have a healthy medical system,
the best in the world. It will become a total failure through single
payer government medicine. It's simple economics that anyone can
understand.
What we don't have is healthy food and enough exercise.
And consider this. With nationalized health care, the government will
control ALL health care modalities, allopathic, chiropractic,
osteopathic, naturopathic, homeopathic, acupuncture and all, I repeat,
ALL alternative medicines and medical practices as well, from the
cradle to the grave. More importantly, it will include basic medical
research and aftercare with visiting nurses.
The government will decide what research is to be done, what medicines
are to be supplied, what operations are to be performed, what aftercare
is given, what hospital and doctor you may be permitted to see and in
the end, even who disposes of your body, how, where and when.
"Don't worry. I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." Right.
All this will mean a thriving underground medical establishment and
huge pressure for alternative medical care because you won't be able to
get regular health care, which the government will eventually prohibit
through Codex Alimentarius and other means to maintain its monopoly and
control costs. Don't laugh. Once this law took effect in Germany, the
cost of vitamin C shot up 800 percent because you now needed a doctor's
prescription to buy it.
National health care means NO health care. For anyone.
All six leading causes of death in this country are directly related to
the food we eat and the exercise we (don't) get. The two leading
sources of pollution in this country come from farming and landscape
fertilizers and pesticides. Next in line are industrial and
transportation pollution sources. Let's clean up chemical farming and
our own lawns first and see what happens – then maybe we can take a
second look at our health care system.
