ObamaCare Government Shutdown: Follow the Money

Nothing criminals do is ever illogical. You may be wondering why the criminals in Congress shut down the government over Obama Care a.k.a. the affordable health care act. You may think it has something to do with their warped ideology. You may think that their warped ideology is stronger than their love for America and Americans and while that may be true the real reason for the government shutdown and a maniacal desire to repeal the affordable health care act boils down to the lowest common denominator, money.

In the United States one third of what is spent on healthcare goes to cover waste/fraud. With the government regulating healthcare medical fraud will become a federal crime. What that means for the people running corporations is that when they steal from the American people not only will they have to pay the money back but some of them may actually face jail time. To put into perspective how huge the medical fraud in this country is considered our military budget. More money is stolen by doctors and hospitals each year and we spend on our entire military. To put that into perspective, consider the fact that United States spends more on its military than all other countries combined.

Another feature of the affordable care act/Obama care is that there is a threshold on how much overhead/theft insurance companies can have. The insurance companies are all that worried about that because with Obama care more people will be buying health insurance. The problem is that premiums will be going down due to the forced competition. That means that every American that more disposable income. Having more disposable income will be an economic stimulus. An economic stimulus creates jobs. More jobs means a smaller labor pool. Smaller labor pool means better pay from workers. Better pay for workers needs more upward mobility. More upward mobility means more political and economic power for Americans. More political and economic power for Americans is a huge threat to the criminal elite corporations who own most of our government.

Shutting down the government will create a huge economic slowdown. Many government workers through no fault of their own will lose their jobs or be furloughed. This is a huge chunk of money that will not be going into the economy. This will hurt Mainstreet and I Mainstreet I mean everyone from the barber, the grocer, the auto mechanic, the forest ranger, the plumber and everyone else depends on consumer dollars to keep him in business. The ripple effect of what Republicans in Congress have done will be arguably is devastating to the economy as what the criminal Wall Street bankers did when they crashed the economy.

TIP OF THE ICEBERG!

No other industry in the history of the world has been as wealthy, corrupt and dangerous as American medical industry. Consider the fact that healthcare represents nearly 20% of America's gross domestic product. No other country even comes close. Consider the fact that the World Health Organization has ranked American healthcare 38th for quality and safety. Consider the fact that the last major disease cured or eradicated was polio.

When you don't know why something that seems illogical and absurd, simply follow the money.

FACT TIME!

Medical Schools Are Run By Corporate Criminals!

 

When your doctor cries poor mouth tell them to shut his greedy lying mouth!

Now do you see why the corporate Rethuglicans don't want the scrutiny that Obamacare aka the health care law will bring? Criminals hate the law.

New Zealand's solution for rising health costs? Deport fat people

At the end of this article i Fat Bastard will point out the folly of New Zealand's anti fat policy.

Art Caplan, Ph.D. NBC News contributor

New Zealand's immigration authorities think they have gotten to the core of solving the obesity epidemic and rising health costs-- deport fat people. A 50 year-old, 286-pound South African citizen no longer has an "acceptable standard of health" to remain in the country where nearly a third of adults are overweight, according to reports.  

Albert Buitenhuis and his wife, Marthie, 47, moved to Christchurch, New Zealand from South Africa six years ago. They are now facing deportation after their work visas were declined because of his weight. New Zealand immigration authorities cited the demands his obesity could place on New Zealand’s health services in terms of cost.

When Albert, 5’ 8”, arrived to take a job as a chef, he topped 350 pounds. Yet he has worked, as has his waitress wife, paid taxes and managed to lose more than 60 pounds, according to The Press of New Zealand. His doctor says Buitenhuis, who has a chronic knee condition, is on his way to getting his blood pressure down and his weight under control.

For the first five years, no one seemed to think that Albert could not fit in New Zealand. But, suddenly, the authorities have decided he must leave. His wife, who is not obese, is on his work visa, so she must follow him to the loading dock.

The associate immigration minister of New Zealand is expected to decide on the case in the next week. 

Albert is appealing his deportation. And he should. While some nations such as the U.S. tried to prevent immigration for those who were HIV positive that was mainly due to worries about contagion. Obesity, while recently categorized by the American Medical Association as a disease, is not contagious. New Zealand, as far as is known, is not trying to get rid of smokers -- who are both costly to care for and can harm others -- or those who have herpes or other sexually transmitted diseases.  

New Zealand immigration laws don't specifically mention weight as cause for deportation, but list medical conditions such as HIV, hepatitis B or cardiac diseases "deemed to impose significant costs and/or demands" on the country's health or education services. New Zealand's health care system, funded through general taxes, provides free medical care to all permanent residents. 

Some think New Zealand is on the right track. New Zealand may believe publicly shaming the bloated is a solution to the obesity epidemic or escalation of health care costs. But deporting Albert, especially while he is losing weight, looks for all the world like a sudden attack of unbridled prejudice.

Fat Bastardo's Comment:

Here is why New Zealand is stupid and wrong. In the short term we fatlings do increase health care costs but because we fattlings die sooner so we actually cost the health care system less in the long term. Our initial high use of health care resources actually simulates the economy due to the influx of money the government spends on our behalf. - i Fat Bastardo -
