Let's Lower Taxes to Get National Health Care, Social Security and Free College!

The key to financing National Health Care, solving Social Security's long term funding problem, and going to college free of charge is to lower taxes. As incredible as this sounds, it's true. This can be accomplished by eliminating tax deductions and a simple restructuring of the tax code.

Eliminating tax deductions is the key to tax reform. This is because tax deductions are the main cause of tax fraud and the inequities associated with our current tax system. It is the tax deduction that allows the tax code to favor some segments of society over others, decrease the amount of revenue the government needs to properly fund the programs our society deems important, and leads directly to waste, fraud and corruption.

Nationalized Health Care; Are You Serious?

Many people want the United States Government to provide free Nationalized Health Care? As a conservative and a kind of economic philosophy in my retirement I say; You cannot be serious can you? After all wouldn't you say that the Federal Government has caused much of the problems we have in health care?

Consider first the inability to solve the problems of over-lawyering in mal-practice, now going after nurses. The corporate welfare to drug companies is troubling, government caused. (Drug companies and FDA issues; if it stops moving Subsidize it?) and the incessant paper work causing doctors to spend more on nurses and run from room to room, this jacks up costs.

And yes for the average American; 150% of annual income in short term debt (Credit Cards and car loans) and living paycheck to paycheck and if they lose their job, out on the street in six weeks, this is a huge issue. Additionally, when the medical bill has “IV Drip bottle; $500.00” when we know that to make that plastic pouch cost only about $3.00 max, we have issues.

The Modern Dilemma - National Health Care

National health care is a hot issue all over the world at the moments, but in no country more so than in the United States. As health care is not provided free as a rule, there are major debates regarding affordability and value for money. Fewer and fewer people every year have insurance cover should anything happen to them and as a result society is beginning to deteriorate. Very few people would be able to afford expensive health care and thus fewer people are spending on it and prices rise to recoup lost costs and profits. The medical services suffer as a result.

Companies used to provide healthcare as standard in every benefits package, but fewer are now offering it. Instead, they are finding ways around it, like using agency applicants rather than taking on individuals to fill job roles independently. Agency fees are generally lower than those charged by insurance companies to ensure that employees are sufficiently covered. However, as hazards in the workplace increase, the nation's health is beginning to suffer and calls for a national health care system are growing in momentum and volume. A national health care system has already been implemented in the UK and has proved successful so there is a good model to base a US service on.
