Over the Thanksgiving Holiday of last year I had the unfortunate luck to suffer a very unpleasant in all possible ways life threatening episode as chronicled in my story " Paul Stanner 1 Grim Reaper 0 " I've also had the unpleasant experiences of dealing with America's current health system as chronicled in my stories " Dr. No { Ch. 1 } " and " Dr. No { Ch. 2 } " and by means of my thirty years of experience working in our health care system. As a result of my experience of this hospitalization and because it's the law whether I or anybody else likes it or not I was forced to sign up for Obamacare. My insurance became effective Feb. 1 , 2014. I have one of the better plans and am generally happy with it. It is not however a perfect solution to my health care needs. The vast majority of the promises Obama made concerning health care are outright lies in my experience with it so far. I am not surprised by this fact as I'm sure the vast majority of you aren't and won't be .
I know what some of you are thinking about this system but consider this. One of the biggest bitches I hear from Doctors Nurses Allied Health Professionals and hospital administrators is that complying with the myriad rules of the insurance companies and the endless red tape of government health care regulations is too time consuming and expensive. This system will alleviate that problem thus making the cost of medical care cheaper for the patient and making it easier for Doctors , Nurses and all allied medical personnel to do what they do so admirably well.
Should the $ 30.00 per month per individual not be enough to cover the costs of this system I propose that rather than raise the premiums on our American citizens we institute a national Market Entrance Fee of 20 % on all foreign goods entering our market. The Chinese have been the beneficiary of way too much American largesse over the last thirty years. It's way past time that we got some of the Chinese ill gotten American dollars back into our system to the benefit of our people. If the Chinese don't want to pay this fee then I would simply tell them that they are free to try and sell their cheap shit goods to the European Union / Emerging Markets. Trust me friends they will pay. They need us we don't need them.
I invite your comments as regards my plan.
