Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling was shocking to many Americans and I'm sure many people around the world. The long and short of the ruling is that Congress can now put a tax on human behavior or the inactivity of it. Being taxed if you don't buy health care insurance is unthinkable. This Supreme Court ruling changes everything about what role the government plays in our lives.
If the government can tax us for not buying health care insurance, can they then tax us for not going to the gym 4 times a week? How about if we don't eat certain types of foods? I'm not sure where this will end, but at the moment this is not a good thing for Americans.
Aren't we supposed to be free to make our own decisions instead of the government telling us what is good for us? Does the government think they know better than we do on how to care for ourselves? I have been working very hard to take responsibility for my own health by following an amazing Protocol of nutrient dense food that is Gluten free and GMO free. What if I became so healthy that I decided to stop paying for health care insurance because I never get sick? Under the current law, I would be penalized and would have to pay a tax for not buying health care insurance. THAT IS ABSURD!!
Even if I do become so healthy that I won't need health insurance, I guess I could buy the cheapest health care coverage that is on the market. The question is, "Will that be less costly than the tax for not buying the coverage"? It is still hard for me to get my head around this new law and the ramifications for all Americans. I don't believe taxing Americans for not buying health coverage is the answer to lowering health care costs. On the contrary, it will raise costs so much that the average person will not be able to afford it.
I am a small business owner and what this means for my company is that I will be forced to pay the tax for not offering health care to my employees. Why would I do that? Simply because the tax is lower than the cost to pay for my employees premiums. The government is basically forcing everyone to purchase insurance from one of these health insurance exchanges. Do you think that your health care will improve under this plan? I'm going to have to say NO. Think about it, you will have millions of more people on these plans which means the quality of health care going down. They estimate adding between 20 and 30 million more people that currently don't have insurance to these plans. Couple that with all of the new people going on the plan because their employer decided to pay the tax instead of covering the employee. What you have will be chaos and the quality of care will go down.
Once the government is in control of our health care then they will be able to dictate how much to pay a doctor for each service they perform. They will be able to determine who should get a surgery and who should not. They will have the power to set up "death panels" and determine who should live and who should die. If you think I'm overboard then thing again. I have read parts of the bill and it is scary and most Americans have no idea the magnitude of this law or what's in the bill. I seem to remember, then speaker Pelosi, making a comment that they'll have to pass the bill to see what's in it. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
What is at stake is not just healthcare, but our freedoms. The freedom to make our own decisions about our health, our wealth and our lives. If you take that away from us then we cease to be America because that is what makes America great. Maybe that's why so many people want to immigrate to the US, because we are the land of the free and the home of the brave. Yesterday's decision is changing that to land of the not so free and the home of the cowards.
