HEALTH CARE

Comments about private enterprise vs. government:
Wal~Mart has announced going into the prescription drug business. Caterpillar is their first customer. They will buy better than the health care companies. They will manage the business better than the health care companies. Both are better than government control. The current system is loaded with dishonest practices. The care providers bill more than they need. The insurance administrators adjust the bill down by 50% or more and then pay 70%-80% of the remainder sometimes. And, they tell you how much you might be billed. I guess if you get billed more you don’t need to pay the additional? Why not let anyone in the private sector enter into the supply of health care without government interference? Fear that the ones who try to take advantage of the system won’t be provided with health care. The taxpayers end up paying the bill any way. And, the bill they pay has the government overhead tacked on. That overhead is usually 90% or more of the cost. What is the solution? Two plans. One for the honest hardworking, able to pay citizens. Another for the ones who can’t or won’t pay. Let the public sector take care of those. There are many 501 (c) 3’s working on that now. And, they are all encumbered by government regulation and interference. There are at least 28 forms of 501 © companies “authorized by the Federal Government”. Just having to be authorized is more than enough interference. Why don’t we the people get going and take care of this health care problem? Everyone can become a volunteer. Each one can find a church or private company to work for on a volunteer basis. Let’s go for it. Let’s make this nation stronger.
