A Never Ending Road
Road building is the job of the government. Very few people question this fact. While there is corruption, inefficiency, and other big government problems, millions of motorists travel billions of miles on government roads every year.
Likewise, armed forces to defend America is the job of the government. Regulation of various markets, public education, and tax collection are all conceded to be the job of government. Perhaps it is time to include Health Care.
There is an ongoing debate about health care in America. There are many who say it is too expensive, and that we do not get a good return on our investment. There is profiteering, inefficiency, and unfair treatment of human beings. The ballooning cost is one of the problems with our economy. Will a Government takeover make things better?
PG has mixed feelings, as do a lot of people. The shrill voices of the naysayers are frequently financed by the health industry, who wants to keep a license to print money. Those who do not trust government to do a good job cannot be ignored. But the fact remains that in many ways the system is broken. Too many people are without insurance. The medical/insurance oligarchy is notorious for playing games, at the cost of human suffering.
PG suspects that it is time for a “Paradigm Shift”. It is time to concede that health care is the domain of government. There are going to be rough spots in the transition. In the end, it is what needs to be done.
