" Keep government from health care " , thinks a smug conservative, A. John Elliot ( letter Dec. 20 ) . "
The entire edifice that we now call health insurance has been erected because we do not trust people to make their own health decisions, " he writes.
I know hard working people who have lost this " bureaucratic red tape " health insurance.Oddly enough they have all decided to NOT visit doctors or hospitals unless delivered while unconscious in an ambulance .
And what is their excuse for not having $100,000 in cash available for health care ? Such a careless life style gets the contempt it deserves in hospital finance department or in the good doctors office .
Don't trust the government to get anything right, to be what " that man " FDR called " a helping hand " . Instead count on the natural benevolence of the Free Market -worshiped by all true conservatives.
These same people whine for Big Government to come to the rescue whenever a natural catastrophe strikes - floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes . Surely the Free Market could deliver help here much more efficiently !
Keep doctors out of Congress - especially conservative doctors ! They are an unhealthy influence indeed .
