Can We Really Afford It?

Where is it that we get the money to fund this new Obama Care plan? Now that everyone has this new, affordable health care plan how are we going to fund all the hospitals, equipment and medicines? My educated guess is going to be to raise taxes. It is kind of like everything else that we have to fund. For instance look at our state schools, where are we getting the money to fund these government run schools? From our taxes? A perfect example of this is Prop 30. Now that it has passed we have to pay the price and will wind up paying more money over the long run. People don’t realize it, but if you add up all the little tax dollars we pay over the years, you’ll find yourself spending way more than what you actually thought. It is funny how our society wants us to be educated, but you look at the students in college and there dumb as rocks when it comes to being economically smart.They think they’re getting five hundred dollars back, but really they there just going to spend that and even more in taxes in the next couple of months. My point to all of this is that at some point we are going to run out of money. We can only tax the rich, or should I say the upper class so much., and after that what is our solution? Eventually the well is going to dry up if you don’t conserve the water that is in it. So when Obama Care kicks in how much more are we going to be taxed, and how much more will be at a loss? The Obama Care bill is going to be one trillion dollars, so where are we going to get the money to support that? We are already at a shortage of doctors in this country, so what does that mean for all the people that now have to wait even longer? There already aren’t enough hospitals for the people that have health insurance and people that are using Medicaid. I’m just concerned for our future as a country and my own health. In the near future when I need medical attention I’m hoping that I will be able to see doctors and not have to be on a time belt on when I can see them. The other thing that scares me, is that we are now giving the government more power and say. They will be able to dictate what we need and if we need it. That all comes down to what is available to us. When medicines and equipment become scarce, it will soon be dictated who really needs it and who doesn’t. None of us want to be at the short end of the stick.  When we get to that point in time, what then do we do? People ask me and say what we should do then. The honest answer is sometimes we have to take two steps back to go three steps forward. Everything is a domino effect. You give people an inch and they take a mile, so holding peoples feet to the fire is what we should go back to and not have everything be a free be in life because that’s a fantasy world
