Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Support for National Health Insurance Plan

My biggest concern about a National Healthplan is that it will be poorly administered and wrought with BUREACRACY.

I currently pay for healthcare through my employer who of course picks up the lions share of the cost.

Michael Moore has tried to tell Americans via his bogus film that all HMO are out to screw us all in the nether region. He uses scare tactics to try and paint the entire non govt HMO/health insurance system as corrupt/greedy and not concerned with their clients health. This is of course a fabrication.

Imagine what a govt controlled/implemented health care system will wreak in this country considering the degree of built in bureacracy that ANY program administered by the govt suffers from? And it matters none which political party holds power. BUREACRACY exists. And its a monster.

There has always been a degree of bureacracy in our democracy but since the end of WW2 it has blossomed into a thing of outright disastrous implication.

A little of topic but ...think of it like this. During WW2 Boeing was able to manufacture 12,700 B-17 bombers in very short order. If the same task was asked of them today even if we were in WW3.....they would be lucky to manufacture 300 a year with the current levels of controls/bureacracy that is placed on govt contractors.

I shudder to think of how Uncle will administer a national health care system. I can see myself being taxed near to death and having to wait months for a checkup.
