The Congressional Budget Office on Tuesday laid out the pros and cons of Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) budget proposal in clinical, detached terms. Its analysis: The plan would bring the nation’s debt under control and significantly reduce the threat of sudden economic crisis and gradual decline, but would also increase health care costs for the poor and elderly in the future . There is no need to cut programs that help the poor and average Americans. The problem really is the unchecked rising cost of Health Care in this country. Programs ,like Medicare ,are asked to provide the same help to Seniors without any tax increase or cost controls .Medicare part D,under Bush, was not funded and added to the problem.
The facts are simple in my mind. Medicare is a single payer system that works well. It keeps costs down and delivers life-saving care for millions of seniors. There is no death panels or rationed care. There are death panels and rationed care under private insurance. The wealthy can afford care and can also make money off of a private system. This is the reason they try to scare people about the evils of a single payer system. These are all lies. People in Canada and other countries would never,never give up their system.
This whole argument centers around money. The private ins. companies ,and their investers, will never give up all the profit easily. The facts are clear though. A single payer system would reduce costs,ease the burden on workers and their employers.It would also provide lifetime care for people without worries and stress.
As far as I am concerned, people against a single payer system are seff absorbed,evil people who do not care about the poor and uninsured. They have no compassion and blame the poor for being poor. I often wonder what side Jesus would be on ?
