Linking Health Care to Health Education

As your Representatives and Senators return home for their summer vacation after failing to send President Obama a health care reform bill that he can sign. It occurs to me that they need help linking health care to health education. So why I cannot tell you to contact them, I do believe that in order to reduce fraud, lower medical expenses, and renew a commitment to bring Americans a better Health Care Industry that both the Left and Right needs to be enlightened on the problems face by the American Public and Medical Industry as early as the 1930’s and the challenges that must be met in the 21^st century. And why certainly no expert on the subject, I do believe all one has to do is ask their parents and grandparents about the medical care and services they received in the 1950’s; 60’s; and 70’s compared to today. For why I am sure that there are some places in America were you can find only one doctor for an entire town or a county hospital that looks like something out of an old movie; however, ask your Representative or Senator how most of the hospitals and medical facilities got the money so they could afford the state of the art emergency rooms and equipment we see today.

Because why linking to how America changed the way the populous are administrated their health care today would be information overload, you might be surprised to know that the cost for every ambulance to cutting edge laser surgery has been paid for by your insurance premiums. And why I have no doubt that without these funds most Americans would still be thinking that cod liver oil was the best cure for what is wrong with you. I do recognize that in the 21^st century a more intelligent path needs to be found that not only will keep all Americans receiving the best health care possible, but make it easier for the Patient and Doctor to do what is necessary to insure that the best of our grandparents’ ideas are passed to future generations.

For why it would be nice to have the health care of the President of the United States and have a one on one relationship with a medical staff that follows you around; nevertheless, stepping just short of that argument in my opinion any health care bill reaching the Presidents’ Desk could, should, would include a section that would promote every Individual American having the Self-Knowledge of First-Aid and Basic EMT training. Because I believe the best way to eliminate fraud, unnecessary medical procedures and tests, and insurance increases is to ensure that all future generations understands the difference between what medicine can do and what the individual is going to have to live with. Since even the best scientists today can’t explain how hot tea and honey can help with the symptoms of the common cold.

Yes, our grandparents of the Great Depression along with the Congress of their time did have the right idea of allowing Americas’ Business Owners to offer insurance as a benefit to their employees. For even today you would be hard pressed to find someone who would by health insurance instead of keeping a roof over their family head or putting food on the table. Besides, allowing those expenses to be written off as the cost of doing business (Pre-taxable Income) the actual cost of insuring every Working American results in the government not receiving taxes on money made in the open market.

So why are more and more companies opting out of the program, claiming that costs don’t allow them to make a profit? Well, I’ll leave that up to your Representatives and Senators to explain since it gets into part of the Establishment that I was told to is off limits to me. Nevertheless, this is another section of health care reform that needs to be addressed by Congress. For with Major Corporations making record profits while the Mom and Pop operations are struggling to make payroll. In my opinion, it has more to do with paperwork and reimbursements than the big bad business owner of the 21^st century wanting to play Scrooge. Since I wonder how many business owners not providing insurance today if Congress would give them a tax credit on the money that they plan to spend on insurance this year instead of making them wait to write the expense off at the end of the year.

Now, I’m not going to say that the Nay Sayers and Special Interest Groups are going to have more influence over your Representative or Senator; however, I can say that if enough Americans speak out publicly on the obscenity of the manner in which the current Health Industry operates that Congress will be forced to act regardless. So why Health Care may be the game in Washington. Seeing that Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders are bound to protect the Rights of Ignorance shouldn’t the name of the game played by “We the People” be Health Education for the Status Quo?
