Looking back on recent history, some time after the rise of the city of Ur and the fall of Troy, we see that somehow the money men got a hold of a lot of power and control, one example being our own Jekyll Island law of the Federal Reserve. A lot of that has come to fruition lately in terms of Goldman Sachs bonuses and other such open larceny of the people. They are in the business of making money, that no one can truthfully deny. Legal larceny is the best business to be in, after all. The Money Men slowly soak the people of their nickels and dimes that turn into billions in a few hands.
Now what better idea than to get into the health care business? Take advantage of our innate trust in medicine, our desire to live on forever, and use it to soak up a few more trillions, this time, in fees and overheads. What a gig, no? Aunt Betsy goes in for a checkup, gets a diagnosis of serious risk, a bunch of expensive tests are ordered along with additional procedures, Bess gets dinged for deductible and co-payments, while the new health care law “insurance companies” and “service providers” have a deal on the side. After several invasive procedures and pounds of patented prescription drugs (another old racket) Aunt Bess’ health really starts to decline. Then after a few more years of collecting mailbox after mailbox full of medical bills daily, Aunt Betsy passes away. What better way to cull the human herd than to strip people of their assets just prior to cremation?
This hypothetical model of an observation – that many old middle-aged people die with a bunch of medical bills in the mailbox – doesn’t need a conspiracy theory or even an bad intention on anyone’s part. It can happen naturally and organically, on its own accord. The hypothesis must, however, fit the data. And what data do we have? How about the number of middle class persons who die with their personal accounts mostly spent on medical bills? For the super rich, such things don’t matter. If there were a way for a billion dollars to bring you back to life then JP Morgan would be zombie JP Morgan. Oh wait, it already is. For the poor such things don’t matter either, in a sense, because they quite often never experience much of any medical care.
This hypothesis does predict that the new health law will eventually pass and pieces of it will be rigged to favor certain interests. Those interests will be on the receiving end of the money flow. It will all be perfectly legal because it’s the law. Monthly payments, co-pays, and deductibles will add up to a cool trillion. Payments will be affordable by most of the insured but nearly all of the risk will be borne by the public sector. That’s the public option. You will become more and more liable for the whole rigged system through your taxes and public debt. |
