“Health care” is not about health care , its about dictating as much of our lives as they can, as quickly as they can.

The entire basis for Israelite law was set in less than 200 pages. How can 2000+ pages to “fix” the health care system make any sense, considering that?

The answer is (or should be) obvious: the jackass bills (take your choice which one) are designed to stupify, make obtuse, and otherwise cloud whatever real issues health care in this country has. Period.

If the Congress wanted to simplify the health care system and make it equitable, they could start by eliminating government intrusions into how it is administered and how it is paid for, requiring only portability (possibly covered by the interstate commerce clause.)

Government tries to make things more complex to make us think that we actually “need” them to fix it.

BUT….the healthcare problem is really quite simple. Healthcare coverage costs a lot because medical care costs a lot. Medical care costs a lot because the government has sent the price for 14,193 procedures, which are lower than cost.

The SOLUTION to that is, to let doctors set their own rates.

We don’t need change, we need a solution.

And THAT wasn’t 2,000 pages

And here, in a less-than-one-page article is more cost containment for the industry than all 4000+ pages of the combined jackass bills.

But, in spite of what the jackasses say, that’s not the purpose of either or any of the proposed jackass bills. The only time anything was put in any of their bills that would actually help us normal citizens who don’t get free health care like the legislators do was to draw attention away from the can of grease they’re using.
