The My FairTax Blog morphs

I cannot keep talking just about the FairTax. Yes, the FairTax is very much the main premise of this blog but when I hear things politically that do not make good sense then I plan of commenting about them also.

Take for example how socialism is being forced upon our nation through the ideas of liberal thinkers who desire socialized medicine.

I am firmly against socialized medicine. Okay, I got that out of the way. I cannot see how in any way we could want to damage our health care abilities with the monstrous tax burden that will come with socialized medicine.

How can we think that we can do better than other nations who suffer under socialized medicine - Canada and France to name two. Canadians cross the border daily to come to the US in order to get better health care (or any health care).

The thing that socialist do not tell you about such a plan is that a government employee will get to decide whether you are worth the money or not. In other words, they will no longer try to save the life of everyone. They will decide whether a premature baby is worth the money of saving. They will decide if sustaining your life with life-support is worth the money to be spent.
I could go on.

Socialized medicine is not the answer. It puts a price tag on life and that is not what America was founded upon.

Oregon is even implementing a lottery for free coverage among those who are "cash-strapped".

Why not try this answer. How about teaching people in high school how to manage money! How about introducing four years of money management classes that teach high school students not to make the same stupid spending mistakes their parents are making?

Case in point, how many cash strapped people are making car payments, cell phone payments, internet payments, and cable or satellite payments along with a large credit card payment and mortgage (on a home they really cannot afford)? Why can't they get rid of those expenses and then fund their own health care expenditures?

Do I believe that there are some people that just cannot make a insurance payment. Yes. But the answer is in how they spend their money (not on cigarettes and alcohol and worthless attempts to win the lottery). The answer is in how to assist those people who really need assistance, not those who manage their money wrong!

How about giving grants to free clinics so they can provide better services? Why not choose the FairTax which could be a better way of funding Medicare and Medicaid (didn't think I could get the FairTax in there did you)?

Socialized medicine is just another way of destroying our nation. It is the worst possible way I can think of handling health care.

Hey Mr. Buffet as you freely give your money away, why not support medical expense accounts?

The money and ability is out there. More government is not and will not ever be the answer.
