Obamacare, the Door to Single-Payer?

In light of today's Supreme Court decision upholding Obamacare, here are three reasons why a single-payer system won’t work in America that a liberal simply can’t answer.

1. Show me the money. With 15 TRILLION in debt, where would the money come from? Tax payers? Nope. Government? Nope. More debt? Really?

2. Show me the example. Name one large program as important as this would be that our government runs efficiently and well. Just one. USPS? Nope. FDA? Nope. EPA? Nope. TSA? Nope. IRS? Nope. Education? Nope.

3. Show me others. Name one single-payer system (with the same debt we have) with positive reviews of better medicine, cheaper care, better access to care and healthier clients. U.K.? Nope. Canada? Nope. Cuba? Nope.

Why does a government run system of any kind fail when compared to a private system? Simple.

Who takes cares of the car better in most cases. The one who paid for it themselves or the one that was given one?

Who works harder, with more fear of loss? The one who owns the business he/she started, where failure is not an option and it is all on the line working 12 hour days, or the union/government worker who thinks “I get paid no matter what and heck, I don’t own it so who cares, plus I get off at 5pm no matter what.”

Private enterprise will always out perform any government run system of any kind. The drive of the entrepreneur will always be stronger than the drive of a safe, secure government worker who has no skin in the game. The greatness of human desire, passion and determination makes it rise above and beyond.

Our system can be improved. TORT reform, participation costs, prescription reform, and tax breaks to buy coverage are just a few good ideas.

National healthcare is not what you really want. Even if you’re a liberal.
