If the purposed no salt bill made me angry this one has to take the cake. Late Sunday night the Health Care Bill that I vehemently opposed was passed. I have often wondered if a government who can’t even run a postal system without going into huge debt can run a National Health Care System which comprise 1/6 of of economy. Along with the passing of this historic Health Care Reform there will be many new laws and regulations that will get the dander up of many Americans who value their freedom. One such mandate is the choice to vaccinate or not.
After doing research on vaccinations I personally have decided that I do not want any more. (If you are interested in the pros and cons of vaccinations you can read this post) For those of you that do that is fine….I value each individual’s right to choose. However, when our government places the National Health Care in place you will no longer have that right to choose.
No Vaccinations = No Insurance = $1000 FINE
Now it is no longer health care insurance ( and it never was health care insurance it should be called sick care insuracne) but now it should be called Blackmail insurance because it will mandatory to have this National insurance and if you decide you don’t want it that will a $1000 fine thank you. Here is the catch, to obtain heath insurance you will need to prove your vaccinations are up to date !
The proposed National mandatory health insurance has been the headline of most news media and on most Americans minds these past months. However, But, there have been many reports, studies and surveys that show Americans will most likely not comply with the mandate of health insurance as reported by the Insurance Research Council.
Most of us are concerned about how the government will enforce these new rules. (Can anyone say socialism/tyranny) Most Americans are concerned about how the government office will enforce such a mandate as regulation is only as good as enforcement. Also reported in the recent studies of the Insurance Research Council is that some people are simply irresponsible and look to others to buy their insurance.
Have you ever wondered about the affordability of this new national insurance?
When the government’s proposed order of making it mandatory for all Americans to have health insurance, many wonder about the affordability for the insurance. As the nations unemployment rate rises, more and more people will drop those expenses necessary to make ends meet.
However, under the new health care reform, those Americans who refuse to purchase health insurance could face monetary penalties. The fines speculated in the health reform bill currently being reviewed by Congress could reach $1,000 for offenders. The Congressional Budget Office has reported that these fines to offenders caught without health insurance could raise billions in dollars over a ten-year period.
Would Vaccinations be Mandatory?
The Federal Governments proposed mandatory health insurance will mean mandatory vaccinations/immunizations. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) says that for anyone who refuses to keep up-to-date vaccinations, under the new health reform, you will not be able to obtain any health care you may need until immunizations are current.
It was also reported that the new health care reform bill was submitted with a provision that those doctors and hospitals who are not meaningful users of the new reform system will also be faced with fines and penalties. As well as the Secretary of Health and Human Services will be permitted to impose more stringent measures of meaningful use over time. I am not sure what more stringent measures mean but it doesn’t bring thoughts of “raindrops and roses” or any of my other favorite things.
Freedom, the choice to choose, the absence of restraints on one’s ability to act and think and the power of the individual was one or the principals that this country was founded upon. I sadly wonder if my grandchildren will see the America I knew and loved. But as one friend reminded me today is that when you done every thing you can do then just remember that God is still in control.
