The Affordable Care Act
This isn't a Republican or Democratic issue, it's an ALL AMERICAN issue. Our Congress has enacted a set of laws that provides them exemptions to something that is mandated upon We The People.
It's plain and simple folks. . . The Affordable Care Act is a disaster form the first word to the last and must be repealed. American's deserve affordable healthcare, but not mandated like this. There are sections in the ACA (Which I have read most of.) that aren't even related to Healthcare and all this Act does is basically nationalize the medical services industry workers as quasi-government employees/contractors.
In order to address the issues that ACA was supposed to fix, they have to be properly identified:
1. Why does it cost so much for a person to go see the Doctor?
(A) Liability Insurance for practitioners has become both mandated by law and needs as the ambulance chasers have driven the basic costs of doing business sky high.
(B) A constantly variable regulatory environment requiring perpetual upgrades and modifications to everything required by increasing laws and administrative codes implemented by governing entities.
2. Why has the usage rate of medical care risen so much in the last 50 years?
(A) The dramatic increase in people "needing" to go see the Doctor in the last 50 years created a new marketplace for industry. The Pharmaceutical industry focused on addressing symptoms and ignored causes in order to push their drugs upon consumers in a sustainable way. It's only good business to extend the life of a disease or issue if it makes you money in the long run. Why cure Cancer if you aren't going to get paid for it anymore...unless you create a new health issue altogether.
(B) The entire food chain in the last 50 Years has been attacked by chemicals and genetically modified organisms that have by fact attributed to the general decline in health across the globe. Generational consumption of polluted foods has contributed heavily to the healthcare dilemma. With all the chemicals used to try and keep people from dying of natural causes and interference with the order of things...it's no wonder the entire World is sick.
It's really that simple folks... those two questions are the core of the problems. Granted the answers are a bit more complicated, but not so much so that the common citizen can't understand. When the government has to pass a law making a person go and spend money to see the Doctor... then there's obviously a breakdown along the line. The Federal Government is to be the emissary for We The People... not the Master.
Thanks for standing up to this task Senator Rand Paul... It's a start, but there are a few other things about the HOW government and Congress are conducting themselves that must be addressed, and soon.
