----- Original Message ---- From: MD <[email protected]> Insurance companies will cover everyone when everyone subscribes. IRS will be involved to make sure every one complies. Auto insurance is compulsory to cover personal injury/third party injury/property damage claims and that is accepted, so is health coverage less important than auto insurance?.
Next issue will be 'foreclosures' Without prejudice. MD. ----- MD, do you use your auto insurance when you do an oil change or routine work on you car? Likewise, why should insurance come into the picture for routine medical care? The whole notion of using insurance for routine care is bogus. While there are some benefits (such as reducing costly emergency care) the new system only propagates this concept of using the costly insurance system for routine care for the entire population. The US government just announced a program today on the foreclosure issue. Here we have the government rewarding bad behavior. I did not go into debt. I did not buy a home that was a ridiculous portion of my household income. Yet, people who went in over their heads and splurged during the boom years and who now have negative equity are getting a government sponsored bail out. Furthermore, this government intervention is artificially propping the real estate market by keeping prices higher than they would be, thus preventing others from entering the market. We seem to be lurching from one extreme in which the previous administration was quite clueless and impervious to one that may be a little too smart for its own good. The current government seems to think it has a solution for every thing. Marlon Menezes Austin, Tx.
