Demo-Dopes cause problems then blame others

According to Demo-Dopes, it was the oil companies - not idiotic anti-energy government policies – that were screwing us during the last energy “crisis.” That’s right the companies that actually did something useful to solve the problem were themselves the problem according to Demo-Dope luminaries like Maxine nationalize the oil companies Waters. It was Waters who famously - if just a bit incoherently – argued for the nationalization of the oil companies. Sounds good! After all look at what the government’s done with AmTrak.

Now Waters’ fellow well –known fool in a skirt Nanny Peloser has zeroed in on a villain for the America’s health care crisis and it is the companies who pay for our health care – the insurance companies. Once again Demo-Dopes find the one useful entity in a made up crisis and blame that entity for the crisis. Hey if you think your insurance company is screwing you, go door to door and start your own collective. If you do, the government will have you shut down by noon the next day – so onerous is government regulation of insurance companies.

The problem with health care in America is that it’s too expensive. It’s too expensive because we always expect someone else to pay for OUR ailments. When we and our Dr. thinks “someone else” is footing the bill we tend to expect the best. Add in to that equation that for some reason we think it’s our employer’s responsibility to provide our health care and you have a real mess.

There was an episode of The Office where Dwight had to find a health care plan to cover everyone in the office. He asks for input and it turns out that someone in the office has some form of every ailment known to man. That’s the trouble with your employer buying you healthcare. The insurance provided by an employer of a large group of dispirit people is going to be very generic and cheap or very wide ranging and very expensive.

Like people should group together and buy insurance for themselves. Healthy people get the discount. Obese, smokers, who drink and drive a motorcycle to their extreme skateboarding lesson can share their risks at a much greater cost.

Oh yeah, and anyone who sues a Dr. or insurance company and looses pays the bill.

Lex is off with the family to WV for a few days. See you back here Fri.
