Single Payer...On Its Way

The election is over and now we know who will be leading us for the next four years. What we also know is that Obamacare will be implemented and it doesn't appear that there is anyway to overturn it. So, what does that mean for everyone? It is hard to say since Nancy Pelosi uttered these words, "We have to pass the bill so we can find out whats in it." Scary, isn't it?

Little by little we will be receiving bits of information about the bill and how it will effect all Americans. My fear is that in the end, we will be a single payer society. What that means is the government will control the entire health care system. They will determine how much doctors make on every procedure as well as who is lucky enough to get the procedure.

As a small business owner I know that my company will be affected. As soon as the "tax" goes into effect, my partner and I will have to make a decision as to whether we will cover our employees or pay the tax. You see, the government will provide us with two options. The first is to provide health coverage for all of our employees or pay a tax if we don't. Here is where it gets interesting. The tax is less expensive than the cost to cover the employees for their healthcare. So at this point we have to make a business decision as will every business in the US.

If we choose to pay the tax, then the employees are on their own and will have to go to an "exchange" set up by the government. That sounds great, but I'm not sure that is the best for the employee because I really don't know what those exchanges will cover or how much they will cover. I guess the big question is, "Will health care coverage be of high quality under one of these exchanges?"

It appears, on the surface, that the government is forcing businesses to pay the tax because it is cheaper and  everyone will be in one of these exchanges. That leads me to believe we are on the road to a single payer system. I don't know about you, but I'm concerned that the government is not well equipped to take on an entire health care system. Just take a look at medicare, social security and every other program that they touch.

I am being proactive by taking responsibility for my health so I have a better than average chance of avoiding the need for any major health care. Due to the fact that I have been on the "7 Day Challenge" protocol for over a year, my health has risen to a new high. By not invading my body with gluten, chemicals and GMOs has had a positive effect on my health. By treating my body with quality food, my system is working more efficiently and I have lost the desire to eat empty calories. It is hard to explain how good these products are unless you put them in your body and try them yourself.

The future of health care is an unknown at this point, but you don't have to be left in the dark. Do something for yourself and begin now by eating quality food.
