Health Care Cost Stiffels Businesses; Wait Until It's Free

I hear that the rising cost of health care is limiting the growth of small business and in some cases eliminating them. Everyone says something has to be done, some say government intervention is the answer. If you think health care is too expensive now just wait until Congress gets their hands on it. Remember these are the people that brought you the Social Security lock box, Medicare and Medicaid.

Ask any Native American how the Bureau Of Indian Affairs has helped them. The congressional dinning room looses $25 million a year. Something has to be done but that something isn't the bumbling hands of an already bloated government. Government is never the answer.

The next time you take a trip to the doctor's office count the support staff; those folks that run up your bill but don't directly contribute to well being. Granted some are there to handle increased patient load but the bulk are there to ensure compliance with government regulation. Getting everyone to sign their HIPPA forms is a full-time job. The sue happy, blame somebody else crowd has driven up the cost of malpractice insurance and forced doctors to run needless tests for protection against runaway stupidity and over zealous lawyers. Try watching television without being inundated by someone asking you to call some law office to participate in some suit, it can't be done.

Want to lower health care costs? Get government out of the process.
