How can anyone be against Obama Care? Who does not what to save lives? Think about all the people who will die if we did not have Obama Care? How many more people will die each year if we didn't have Obama Care? If Obama Care is so good and will save so many lives, then they doesn't it go into affect for 4 more years? Doesn't anyone care about all the lives that will be lost during the years before Obama Care goes into affect? Have you answered any of these questions yet? Well, before you do, think about this.
What do people mean when they save lives? Is it the same as for a Christen when God saves a soul? I don't think so. All that is going to happen is that Obama Care may "extend" the length of a person's life. It will mean that the average life expectancy will be increased from 79 to 81. I just made these numbers up, but I think you get the idea. Did you know that many countries in the world already have longer life expectancies than the USA and they don't spend near the amount of money on medical that we d0. With Obama Care, we will be spending even more. The bottom line is that Obama Care will not save lives. We will have the same number of deaths each year as we do now. Can't follow that? It is like deer hunting. Deer hunters kill thousands of deer each year, but if we stopped all deer hunting, we would still have the same number of deer dieing each year from desease and old age. Same numbeer. It is the same with Obama Care.
Now if we change the debate to one of increasing the average life span in the USA, what kinds of programs do you think we might have? Under Obama Care, the government is willing to make all citizens purchase health care. Further, the terms of those health insurance policies are predefined by the government. As I stated in a prior Blog, there will not be any "good driver discounts". One plan for everyone regardless of age or state of health. Now if the government can force everyone to by the government defined health policy, why can't they make it against the law to drop out of high school or to get pregnant out of wedlock? Most of the people now who can't pay for their own health care or who don't take care of their health are mostly people who dropped out of high school or got pregnant out of wedlock. If they were to address the real problem of life expectancy and address the true root causes, they would not be penalizing those of use who are responsible.
It is a fact that people who are over weight don't live as long as those who are thinner. You can see this all over the world and it does not cost a dime to maintain a reasonable and healthy weight. Let's do the things that don't cost very much before we start to put taxpayer's money into areas that have a poor rate of return.
Now, we could increase the average life expectancy here in the USA if we had a lot more hospitals with state of the art life support systems. We could do that and the average life expectancy would go up, but would it be worth it? We have to ask ourselves and our President, "is it worth it?" We have not done that. I think the people on the island of Okinawa have a life span almost 10 years longer than the USA. I know for a fact that they don't have Obama Care and its cost. Why do they live so long? We should find out. How about France? They live longer and most of them drink wine every day. What is going on? Get on the internet and check out which countries have the longest life spans. You will be very surprised who they are. Remember, even with Obama Care, we will not save any lives. We will have the same number of deaths per year as we do now. It is simple 4th grade math.
PS------
I checked Google and found that the USA ranks 36th in terms of life expectancy. At 36th, that puts us a long way behind a lot of countries what spend a lot less on health care. So what is wrong? Japan is #1 at 82.6 years. The USA is only 80.6 years. When you look into the numbers and take out blacks the numbers look a lot better. Black males average 69.8, black females average 76.5, white males average 75.7 years and white females average 80.8. All USA groups are far bebind Japan, but black males are really far down thne list. My review of the data shows that countries that are mostly white have the longes life expectancy while countries with a lot of blacks are really low. Even Cuba is ahead of the USA.
