Idiocy of Government Run Heath Care

Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are all on a fast track to be insolvent; somewhere between the years 2019 and 2040. Each of those programs carries with it fraud and waste that is somewhere between 7 and 10 percent annually.

The United States Post Office has been a complete loser for years. It seems like every rate increase they get actually puts it farther in debt.

Then, there's Amtrak. No profits there.

And when it comes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, both government sponsored entities, you can blame both of them, in a large part, for the collapse of the housing market, the foreclosures, and this recession.

So, why, then, would any rational person think that the American health care system would be better run by Uncle Sam?

Why would anyone think that health care will be better and less costly with this government running it?

I think anyone, who isn't being ideologically blinded, understands that the government running health care will only make heath care more costly and less available than it would have been; had it been left alone.

I believe that there should be a revamp of the health care system. It has some problems. But, let's not burn down the house to get rid of a few mice. For that reason and the reasons above, I believe every effort should be made to draft a health care system that covers everyone and provides portability and quality; but, leaves the government out of it.
