The New Largest Employer In The World

"Our nation is in deep trouble - morally, economically, and politically.  Practically everything in which the federal government has embroiled itself for the last several decades is in crisis - education, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, inflation and the dollar, welfare, government spending, the drug war, and, of course, foreign policy."

And now, and now (!) pharmaceuticals and health "care!"

The largest employer in the world is the United States Department of Defense.  According to the BBC News Magazine, in March 2012, Defense employs 3.2 million people.  The world's fifth largest employer is the UK's National Health Service with 1.7 million.

That sounds different than it is.  The Defense Department represents about 1% of the US population.  The UK Health Service represents about 3%!

There are about 63,000,000 people in the UK.  And it takes 3% of the population to administer a program far less complex than the zillions of pages and bureaucracies created just at the beginning of the health "care" system in the US! 

Do you not think this program, like all bureaucracies, necessarily, will grow and become more complex?

If 3% is the needed number of people needed to administer such a system in the UK, and it takes 3% minimum to administer a similar system in the US, what's that, 10 million people employed?!  Do you think 3% is accurate?  Personally I think the percentage of the US population employed will be more than 3%.

And we are told our new wondrous system will be cheaper (affordable is the word used), more efficient, faster, and cover more people, with fewer doctors, than previously!  Many still think health care will be "free!"

DOES ANYBODY REALLY BELIEVE THAT? 
DOES ANYBODY REALLY BELIEVE THAT HEALTH CARE IN THE UNITED STATES WON'T BE A SYSTEM IN CRISIS?

Well, I don't!

LIKE JACOB HORNBERGER SAYS, THIS WILL BE THE LATEST IN A SERIES OF CRISES THE GUBMENT EMBROILS ITSELF IN.

I THINK HEALTH CARE WILL BE A "SYSTEM" THAT WILL EAT ITSELF ALIVE.  AND OUR NATION IN THE PROCESS. 

NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, CREATED BY GUBMENT AND BUREAUCRATIC THINKING TO DATE, IS MORE FOREIGN TO THE VERY IDEA OF THE FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES ENGENDERED BY AMERICA, AS CONCEIVED BY OUR FOUNDING FATHERS.  ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
