Who's gonna pay for it?

I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but the question that is NOT being answered by anyone regarding the current healthcare debate debacle is simply this:

Giving access to the greatest healthcare system in the world to everyone who wants it, on first reading, sounds like a great idea. BUT WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR IT?

The socialists who are pushing the idea all personally have great healthcare insurance plans, which none of them will abandon in favor of this great new "public option" idea. But I would ask them, ARE YOU GONNA PAY FOR IT?

If we grant access to our healthcare system to everyone in this country, legal or illegal, that system will immediately be floodded with millions of new patients demanding that every imaginable ailment be treated. From a strictly humanitarian standpoint, this sounds very kind and loving. BUT WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR IT?

If abortion on demand is the law of the land, Roe v Wade, and it is for now, how can abortions not be covered in the new system? There is no doubt by any thinking person that they will be covered. So I ask again, WHO'S GONNA PAY FOR IT?

The implied answer to all the above is: THE RICH!! They are always the villian in these matters. Vile, evil, crooked, lacivious RICH people, who cannot have gotten their wealth any other way than dishonestly. THEY will pay the bills for all the poor and disadvantaged.

Yeah, right!

You know, I have never gotten a job from a poor guy. Poor people don't start businesses, take risks, hire people, and pay for their benefits. It's always folks with money. And right now we need more of them, not less.

So CommonSense tells this old country boy, "Go ahead fellas, pass your socialized medicine bill. Try to soak the rich to pay for it. And you know what you will get? VOTED OUT OF OFFICE!"

We "the PERSONS" of this great land have a loud voice, and we will use it come election day!
