Everyone should have access to a healthier life.
Everyone should pay taxes, even if it is only a single dollar.
Everyone should have the time to pay for healthcare.
Government paid medical bills is a guaranteed payday for healthcare providers. There is no incentive for healthcare providers but to “raise” costs to the consumers and expand their bureaucratic business models for the sole purpose of guaranteed profits from coffers of the Federal governments.
When the customer says no cost is too high, and the government will pay for it, the costs go even higher for you have removed any environmental pressures, any financial responsibility for the provider to keep costs low.
It becomes a great big buffet for anyone offering healthcare services who can accept medicare as payment for services. And thus the budget for government healthcare spending has skyrocketed.
Citizens do not need healthcare to be payed for the government. They need TIME to pay for it.
Government sponsorship of healthcare reform should be to the guarantor of any citizen to the right of time to pay for medical debt.
How can the, the government do this?
If I break my arm and go to the hospital and they say how are you going to pay for this? I say,
PUT IT ON MY TAXES.
People don’t mind paying important bills if they are allowed THE TIME to pay for them.
A very large portion of citizens recieve a REFUND from the Federal Government on taxes every year.
A citizen should be allowed to say, “put the bill on my taxes”, The initial payment could be deferred by law. A 2% interest is charged to the citizens balance to pay for the maintenance and personnel running the program.
Most people don’t need the government to pay and OVERPAY, for their healthcare. They need the peace of mind KNOWING if they get sick, they will have TIME to pay for it, when they have no money in a time of need, little or no insurance, and become sick or have an accident. They just might not get that big refund check this year.
If I become ill and have a 2000$ hospital bill, what would be an example of good governance is a government that provides its citizens TIME to repay an honest bill. My tax return would be less or non existent at the beginning of the following year, but I have a safety net in case I become ill or have an accident where I do not have to worry about making a rent payment, a mortgage or car payment. The government doesnt have to pay for it, and I am afforded self respect and dignity knowing I am good for paying my bill, if not by myself directly over time, than with my own tax liability.
This would reduce the total amount of money the federal gocernment has to spend on healthcare services for its citizens.
I brake a tooth tomorrow, have time deferrment guaraunteed by my taxes, great for the well being of me and for the government. If I pay the bill before tax season, or a portion before tax season, then good job on me and great for the government.
If you want to start helping American citizens, you must begin by not socializing medicine. You begin by socializing TIME for the citizen to pay for his own bills. Time coats nothing, and the government makes a percentage from its citizens who’s time to pay they guaranteed.
We need to begin again by encouraging to the people, the idea of people paying their own way. One of many ways we can do this is to offer TIME inexchange of offering payment. To do this does not require every single citizen to be paying their own way from this day forth. It requires a ground up experience of many peoples paying as many honest bills by themselves as possible, and seeding that self respect back into the culture over time.
Plug the leaks of healthcare spending by giving time to many citizens to pay for themselves.
