Comments on: What is the Health Care Debate Really About? http://www.healthreformscam.com/2010/01/28/what-is-the-health-care-debate-really-about/ Exposing the truth about ObamaCare Sat, 17 Dec 2011 12:05:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Dave Emanuel http://www.healthreformscam.com/2010/01/28/what-is-the-health-care-debate-really-about/comment-page-1/#comment-266 Dave Emanuel Fri, 29 Jan 2010 19:14:26 +0000 http://www.healthreformscam.com/?p=1000#comment-266 I disagree with the conclusion that health care reform is about "collectivism". In my opinion, it's about income redistribution. Like virtually every other piece of Obama-sponsored legislation, health care reform is designed to increase taxes on middle and upper income taxpayers and distribute money to those with lower incomes. In this case, people who do have health care would be paying the bill for people who cannot afford, or will not buy coverage. There is no doubt that the system should be reformed, but the last thing this country needs is another inefficiently administered entitlement program. There are numerous ways to change the system so that health care is more affordable, but they don't involve give-away programs that are primarily designed to buy votes. That is truly what the Democrats are trying to do-- in addition to gaining control of the health care system. Socialized medicine has never worked efficiently. And never will.
