If, we do not allow the politicians to spin reality things become truly simple.
1. Everyone wants-no one wants to pay.
2. We are not and perhaps should not be willing to not provide care for people who CHOOSE not to accept responsibility for themselves. The conservatives, the republicans object to people being FORCED to purchase insurance. If we choose not to accept that people need to be forced to have insurance and we refuse to deny care of people who do not have insurance, then, people who have property, savings, any kind of wealth END UP PAYING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE.
3. If, you were buying insurance, an annuity etc, you would, YOU SHOULD check to see the issuer is financially solvent. ALMOST ALL OF US HAVE BOUGHT A POLICY (ANNUITY) CALLED SOCIAL SECURITY. IN THAT SAME PLAN IS MEDICARE, MEDICAID, PRESCRIPTION COVERAGE AND OBAMACARE. FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU WERE EARNING GOOD MONEY YOU COULD BUY THIS SAME COVERAGE FOR FAR LESS THEN WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PAY INTO THE SYSTEM. ON TOP OF THAT WE KNOW THE COMPANY, OUR GOVERNMENT HAS NOT RUN THIS PLAN RESPONSIBLY AND IT IS BANKRUPT.
4. Government will never solve problems until things get so bad that the solution will be very painful. The current solution ADDING TO THE NATIONAL DEBT TO PAY OPERATING EXPENSES-CAN-MUST EVENTUALLY FAIL-HISTORY TELLS US SO.
5. SOLUTION-I DON'T HAVE ONE.
YOU COULD PAY MORE TAX. THERE IS A LINE FOR THAT ON YOUR TAX FORM. OUR LEADERS-EITHER DEFECTED CLINTON S OR TRUMP HAVE BOTH SHOWED GREAT SKILL IN AVOIDING TAXES.
I PLAN ON LEARNING FROM BOTH OF THEM COME TAX TIME.
