Healthcare Lies
When the President and Congress tell you that you can keep your current insurance and continue to see your existing doctor if you want to, they are telling a complete lie. They tell you this in the hope that you’ll not listen to the truth and believe what they tell you until it’s too late.
How do I know? As a business owner with 50 employees who are eligible for our health care plan I will consider the government option if it becomes available. The decision will be mine alone, but will affect everyone of our employees. They will not have a choice in whether they get moved on to the government plan. That decision will be up to me.
It’s remarkable that people, even in my own company, don’t see this. We are rushing towards a change that will negatively impact this country, in many ways, for decades to come. I rarely see the television shows talking to people like me that employ the vast majority of people. Instead, it’s so called pundits and politicians who think they know what’s best…on both sides. Most of these people have never run a business or even gone through the process of choosing an insurance plan for employees or a company. Yet here they are creating healthcare reform in the dark.
The vast majority of Americans have health care and of those that do, 80% say they are happy with their current plan. The issue is getting the bottom 5% who aren’t eligible and can’t afford insurance into a program that they/our government can afford.
Let’s not screw it up for the other 95% to fix this problem.
