Who will backup American’s health care?
With the scary prospect of Mrs. Bill Clinton and Obama Hussein forcing upon us the utter failure of health care to mirror the national systems of Europe, Canada, and Cuba, we are left to wonder what we are going to do when we need health care? Once the American health care system is destroyed, what are WE going to do?
The American Thinker has a good examination of the dilemma the Demofascists will cause us (and cause the entire world) when they bring our modern private health care system to its knees.
Steven M. Warshawsky demonstrates today on AT that there is no such thing as “free” medical care. Having the government pay means having other people pay your medical bills, and that leads to endless demand, which leads to rationing, which leads to insufficient capacity to handle peak demands, like, say, the birth of quadruplets.
If and when Hillary Care II comes, of course there will be no back-up capacity available for Americans (unless you believe Michael Moore and think Cuba’s medical system can provide anything to anyone).
Canada’s vaunted socialized medical system depends on America for more than peak capacity back-up, of course. When was the last time you heard about a new drug being developed by a Canadian pharmaceutical company? Under the price control system in Canada it makes no sense to develop drugs there. Canada lets the United States bear the major burden of drug development (and so does the rest of the world). Our high drug prices and federal research subsidize the world’s medical R&D.
