My thoughts on "Socialized" Healthcare

Many Americans today have little to no healthcare due to a large number of High priced doctors, inflated insurance or not enough Federal reserves to sustain them on a federal govt. ran plan. But, this can be Fixed take a look at Canada and there form of a “Socialized” health care plan. This form of healthcare gives care to every one not taking into consideration there Income level, Job Status, or Things such as that. This plan is played for, and Ran by there Government Through taxes, and such. Yet of course this plan is not without its Flaws, since the government is paying for the care there Taxes are raised, Money taken from income is increased and prices on good are inflated to cover the costs of using this plan. These are the fears and worries of most Americans when the thought of the US changing to a system like this one.

The main reasons why a country would want to use this form of healthcare would to be able to give care to all of there citizens equally, insuring that every one gets the same care as the next person. But, as said above, the flaws brought up by this plan are enormous and can cause a sever impact of the Economic standing of the country, if not played right. But if a country does change to this “Socialized” plan for health care then it would be a Great benefit to its citizens, and Of course it’s not impossible to Do this and make it work. But If a Country is under the Democratic, or republic Governmental system, then how can these two Ideas work one in one, Being that They are Part of a totally Different Field? Well the answer to that is there, but it is hard to find, and not easy to answer.

The one simplest and easiest way to answer that question is well to change the government. Well, yes, we could just change the Government style, but with the US that would not be an easy thing to do. The US is too proud of its Government and would not easy change it at the Snap of our fingers. We would have to slowly Change each and every part of it till it is to our liking, which of course if we changed to a Socialist government, we would be doing something that would be disastrous for the US. Seeing as that with every other country that has gone under the Socialist system has been lead to Either Communism, or into a Dictatorship. Remember the One rule, Absolute power Corrupts absolutely. Meaning that if we where to put the government into complete power over our Health, Utilities, and any other Life necessity, then of course the Government would use that power to control us. So seeing as the total Flaws behind that, we can safely say that this answer is not a good choice to use.

In the 1960’s, with the hot topic of Communism on every ones mind, then president Ronald Reagan spoke about Universal healthcare and Stated that it could lead to communism. Now yes a universal health care system could lead to some form of communism, but that would only be if the rest of the government was Turned into that fundamental thought and form of communism. Changing just the healthcare system to This Socialized healthcare would not, by its self, Turn the Whole of the United States into a communistic Form of government. It would take much more time, and much more change for something of that magnitude to happen, and if it did in fact happen, many Americans would Rise and Make a change back to the original way of Government.

Now the Second answer to the Question asked earlier, this one is not as simple as Just changing the whole government. This one is much more time oriented and would require much more thorough investigation and money spent to make work correctly. The second answer contains 3 parts in it. The first part, would be to Take down private Healthcare insurance companies and close them down, there would be no use for Private health agencies. The second part would be to set up a government board for the Universal healthcare that would take care of the Money, doctor management, Hospital management, and the teaching of the doctors. The Third part would be to make a way of rating and Grading doctors on the way they Care for there patience. In the first part we would have to take down all of the private Healthcare insurers so that there is no third party paying for care besides the government. The reason for tearing these down is so that State ran Insurance companies can be set up. These state ran companies would be the ones to pay the doctors for there services. These State insurance company’s would Give each Family or individual , along with businesses a Monthly amount to Use to pay for there medical bills, and collect money if the person goes over there amount. In the Second part of the answer we would have to set up a universal governing board to Take over the administration roles of giving out federal money to each state, and issuing Checks on doctors on how there care is to there patients. They also would have the role of giving bonuses to doctors who go to school and learn every new technique there is. The third part would go along with the second, Grading Doctors on there care. There would have to be some sort of grading system for doctors so that there Care does not become poor and inadequate.

The Biggest concern Besides Care and changing what we are use to, is taxes. The first thing to say is, yes, the taxes would be raised, but there are ways to Cope with that and overcome it and use it to our advantage. As in Canada the Taxes would be raised on every thing from food, water, items, and also Income taxes. But the one surefire way to cope with it is to give options of allowing Citizens to put money into Healthcare funds, and to Increase the Taxes on trade with other countries. But the one problem in most cases People do not have Jobs, or are not gaining a Good income and can not pay for Items due to a increased tax. There is one other problem that needs to be fixed to stop that, which is illegal aliens, but that is another problem for another day. But if there were more jobs available to people more would have a way to gain an income, also States could, or should Pass laws and bills to Ride there cities of the homeless and find them jobs and Areas to live until they can get on there feet. If some one does not have a paying job, or does not Live in a house then They would not get Free care, due to they are not Giving back to help with the payment.

These ideas, and many in the World, are yes Flawed, there are no perfect answers to any thing in the world that is taken with problems. But working together and adding to them can help make them useable and Agreeable to every one. The best way for the government to use an idea like this is to actually look at what is going on in out own Country and stop getting into other countries business. It would need to be done with not the intent to criticize it, but instead embrace it as a new idea and one that could leave a positive impact of the society.
