In Kansas, Michigan, and Missouri. Besides the usual bunch of anti’s to vote against, Missouri has a vote of a different sort. While it is OT, off topic here, it is of interest to a lot of us.
It is a vote on what is called “Proposition C,” an ObamaCare referendum.
Speaking personally – my doctors tell me they will quit if ObamaCare goes into effect. No more bone and joint man to take care of an increasingly arthritic hip. The retina specialist who is doing wonders for my macular degeneration will be long gone. And the GP who takes care of keeping my pneumonia shots up to date is making plans to close his practice.
Why? Because ObamaCare calls for health care rationing for Seniors, with a big cut in Medicare payments. So Seniors will have to fork over a lot more money for supplemental insurance – or do without health care. Doctors have to make a living, too, so that puts them in a bind. Lose money on Seniors or quit. The ethical ones are quitting.
Of course, Medicare costs are far too high. The solution is not to cut health care, but to impose “tort reform.” Stop frivolous lawsuits that do little but make lawyers money. Here’s a link to just one story of why every American desperately needs tort reform; A frivolous lawsuit threatens to close a health care facility – even though no one has been harmed, or even complained.
Essentially, 70 cents out of every health care dollar YOU shell out goes to mandatory testing and record keeping with no purpose but to keep lawyers out of health care providers pockets. Less than 25 cents of YOUR health care dollar goes for health care. So tort reform would cut YOUR health insurance costs by up to two thirds – and preserve Seniors health care. My health care!
So if you are in Missouri, please vote for “Proposition C.” And for the pro-gun pols as well.
