-Caveat Lector-
I vary to differ with you nessie.
The welfare reform changed the law about able bodied adults...
who can work and won't. Adults no longer receive medicaid or health
insurance in most states. If they do, they won't for much longer.
Children of welfare recipients ALWAYS are covered by health insurance.
But, they go to the working parent first, and find out if they have the
availability and means to get the health care for their children first.
Insurance isn't that difficult to get. It's not that expensive either.
Shopping
insurance plans may take a bit of effort, but affordable health insurance
is
available.
I doubt seriously the statistics that the Klintoonalgore administration puts
out
about a lot of things... this subject in particular, because lest we
forget, we
are in the midst of a campaign that is presumed by that particular party as
already won. Their big thrill in life is to present the facts in, let's
say a bit
exaggerated political juxtaposition.
As far as optimum health care? That's a thing of the past. Doctors are
still
paying off school loans, and don't care whether optimum care is
administered,
because there are enough people who have health insurance who are sick and
need their services, that they can still get rich, and still afford to pay
off their
loans. The only way, anyone is going to get optimum health care is to be one
of the other 230 million people in this country who can afford health care.
Sorry, but that's the way it is.
I don't like seeing suffering or those who cannot get health insurance to do
without.
It remains that the churches of this country should have never given up
their position
to help the poor and the needy, then the government would not be
legislating who
gets care and who doesn't. Because we know that there are many, many
churches
and charitable organizations who could help those in need, but because of
government policies and regulations already poised, they cannot help, by
law.
So, the question then remains, what happens to those who are in poverty?
Ask the Klintoonalgores of this country, then to get off their duffs and do
something
about it and quit talking about it. THEN you might see some reverse in the
poor
quality of health care and poverty in this country.
This is a very unfortunate situation that we can give care to millions of
people in
other countries, some who have gotten wealthy off our 'care', yet we
cannot seem
to manage the poverty level in our own space. It's sad; very sad. I
agree.
Socialized medicine is not the answer. It may look good on the outside but
to
borrow from a famous non-violent revolutionary's words, " inside it is
nothing but
dead men's bones" - Jesus, circa 33.
Inside it is rotten to the core, because of those who have
never experienced the pain and the suffering and underestimate the dire need
that
is there with those who cannot afford, nor can they find the ways and the
means
to pick themselves up and brush off and go forward, as much as they try and
try.
The government holds people back. Just like the recent legislation
presented
by the Democrat of Minnesota, to
"track" former welfare recipients. It is none of the government's business
after
they 'force' them off the programs. They have to let go, and quit dragging
them
back into the system. It is a viscious circle. But, that is the way it
is.
Until we get some intelligence in the White House and in the other areas of
our government branches that were designed to help those in need, and quit
funding those who can work, who can provide, and screen each individual
treating them as human beings, and as just a name and a number in a
statistic
report, you shouldn't expect any miracles.
But who knows, the good Lord may smile upon America again, and give her one
last chance to shape up before she's shipped out to sea.
