One Trillion Dollars over TEN (10) years. That's all it costs to insure Americans through a federally mandated health care system.
Let's get real here.
Kindly remember, these are the same Republicans that bailed out banks for $700 Billion US and we haven't got that money back yet. $700 Billion blown by people that don't give a damn about the people of the USA. If you remember those billions went to other countries as well. Okay? So, I don't want to hear squat about the cost of health care.
But, for the sake of argument.
The USA Health Care Industry is approximtately one sixth the entire economy of this country. One sixth. It will grow to far more once every American has affordable health care. It will not only grow, it will invest in R&D and grow even more jobs. It will expand and become the best health care the world has ever known. Better, far better than even today. Why? Because there will be monies and liquidity and a KNOWN populous to an industry devoted to supplying this life line to Americans. The cost of any industry always gets cheaper when there are more people to share its cost. The quality of any industry always gets better with R&D and the striving to improve on what is considered The Best.
When this legislation comes 'online' it will provide an entire country, 300 million people, to a health care industry already engaged in improving the wellness of its clients. A known knowledge bank to improve not only the quality of health care, but, its cost and delivary efficiency. A healthier population means less demand on 'chronic' illness and the issues that cause them. A healthier population is a better and ready work force.
With obesity in children and adults ruling the work force of the USA, the efficiency across the board to the health cost to employers has plummeted and its cost skyrocketed. We will be a healthier nation, when this administration is finished. They will provide guidance and education while returning 'gym classes' to our children in schools across the USA and reining in hideous foods in our American diet.
Perhaps every child in the USA, should be provided a Flintstone's vitamin at the beginning of lunch period everyday. Whatever. The idea of slimming this country and providing quality of life that comes with activity and wellness is a dream we should all strive towards. A safe food supply and a health care system that eliminates dangers to us at every turn will give Americans what they long for.
Now, the nuts and bolts of cost.
One trillion dollar US over ten years.
That breaks down to $334.00 per year. That is three hundred, thirty-four dollars US per year per American.
Can you afford that? I can.
Is it worth it? Yep.
Should there be complaints? Nope.
Will the cost of health care be paid in that methodology? Nope.
Why not?
Because the current Democratic House and Senate want to remove the pains of financial 'entrapment' from the Middle, Lower Middle and Poor Classes of populous of this nation.
So, what is the problem? The Republicans are complaining because the burden to the WEALTHY bunch will go up.
SO WHAT !!!!!!!!!!
We need to pass comprehensive health care for a nation desperately in need of it and we need to do it now.
Return FUNCTION to the American government. Vote Democrat in the 2010 elections.
End of discussion !
