THE SOCIALIST'S SAY: Every American is entitled to healthcare……THE FREE MARKET CAPITALIST'S SAY: Every American should have the ability to access affordable healthcare…...
There are two fundamentally opposite philosophies at the heart of the Obama Care debate!
The first finds it's root in socialism (the need of the many outweigh the need of the one) Regardless of your ability or willingness to pay, the government is obligated to provide you (using taxpayer money) full access to every type of healthcare, whether you require it or not. The problem is, this type of care involves a blanket requirement by law that everyone must participate or risk fines. The government will now control 1/3 of the American economy severely reducing American's individual financial liberty and oh, by the way, the IRS ( who doesn't have to answer to congress) will be in charge of it ! Government control always results in the loss of personal liberty, religious freedom and choice (choosing your own Doctor, your procedure). The ultimate decision for your health and well-being will eventually be left to a panel of individuals who have no personal connection to you!
The latter philosophy gives every individual the freedom to purchase whatever type of healthcare they want, when they want it. In our personal 'pursuit of Happiness', we should have access to affordable healthcare with a reasonable pricing system determined by the free market. We should not be required by law to purchase it, or any part of it violates our religious conviction. We should also be allowed to choose a plan that excludes services we no longer require (if you are elderly you shouldn't have to pay for maternity care). The implementation of exchanges across states borders, the ability to join group plans, or set up your own health accounts, would greatly improve the cost and availability of services under this system!
The less fortunate who are not already enrolled in medicare or medicaid, should have access to medical care at a reasonable price to be determined by their income. Their should be a medical safety net within the medical community, through charity organizations and philanthropic foundations! Perhaps, if congress had taken steps to do this sooner, the socialist agenda would not have been so successful in disrupting and fundamentally transforming the one of the most important , personal and life evolving aspects of economy.
The philosophical difference comes down to…….. WHO CONTROLS YOUR CHOICE AND WHO CONTROL YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!

Who do you believe will do a better job ? How will it affect the liberty and freedom you have now? Do we want to hand it over to the inept, bloated, corrupt hands of the government or do we need to reform our old system? These are the questions we better be prepared to ask in the upcoming election! The governments answer will depend greatly on the philosophical beliefs of those who will go to Washington in 2014!
In America, there are only two people that can take money from you against your will. The first is a thief and the other is the government. You come home from work and open your paycheck only to find out that Uncle Sam has already been there. Whether you realize it or not you are at the beginning stage of the greatest series of tax increases this nation has ever known. These programs aren't free ,everyone of us will pay for the socialist, third party form of healthcare and as a result our Nation will suffer the consequences!
The simple definition of a nation’s economy is the total amount of goods and services bought and sold. Higher taxes result in less freedom, fewer choices and a lower standard of living for the wage earner. Consequently the result is a slower economy. You can look at any state or nation and you’ll find that greater the percent of the Gross National Product that goes to the government, the less prosperous the nation. The principal is the greater the freedom of the individual, the greater the wealth of the nation; the greater the government, the greater the poverty.
HERE IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT SUPPRESSION AND REGULATION DO TO AN ECONOMY …….

Consider as an example North and South Korea. They have the same heritage, culture and climate. After the Korean War ended, North Korea had total Socialism. In the last five years, 2.5 million Koreans have starved, the roads are dirt, and you see people walking around bent over because they have been eating twigs and grass to fill their stomachs. South Korea with the same heritage, the same culture, the same climate received freedom in 1953 and last year had the 10th largest Gross Domestic Product in the world. What is the principal? The greater the freedom, the greater the wealth. When you understand that, you can make any rich nation poor and any poor nation rich.
THIRD PARTY ECONOMICS…...

Now let’s suppose you are going to buy something to give to someone else. This is a “second party” purchase. You still are concerned about the price since you are paying for it, but you are not quite as concerned about the quality since you are not the end user. The further removed that person is from the end user, the more flexible one becomes on the issue of quality. That is human nature.
A “third party” purchase is purchasing something that you will not use or consume with money that is not yours. You will not be concerned about the price, because it is not your money and you are flexible about the quality, because you aren’t the end user. By definition, all government purchases are “third party” purchases, made with money that is not theirs to buy something that they will not consume. Therefore, there WILL be waste in government spending. There will be waste in the highway department; there will be waste in the defense department.
"What percentage of every dollar collected by the government for the poor actually reaches them? A dismal 30 percent. The U.S. government is quite possibly the nations’ most inefficient mechanism for meeting the needs of the poor." (The Bible, Voters and the 2008 Election, by David Barton)
Every time we take a dollar from an individual to save and produce the maximum benefit and instead run it through a governmental pipeline, we are in the process of making the nation poorer.You look at any city, state or nation and you’ll see that the greater the government, the greater the poverty, the greater the freedom of the individual, the greater the wealth and that is what applied economics in politics is all about.
The social experiment in Europe has failed. Sweden (who has a 90% tax rate) is in the process of dumping it's socialist ways. While citizens in that country have a subsidy for everything and healthcare is free, Sweden's has seen in the last few decades a sharp decline in work related incentive. The newest generation of workers just doesn't see the point of working hard, going beyond what is expected and finds no incentive in the system for creating new opportunities or industries . When you only take home 10 percent of your pay why work harder to make more!
When you take the incentive out of society, you are left with apathy. I think Europe has proven that and yet American's in favor of socialism still think we can make it work. A philosophy that has failed miserably everywhere it has been tried has now begun to dig it's deep claws into the American culture and your wallet…….watch out, here comes Obama Care!!!!!!
