A Vision for America by David Leak
in Society / Politics (submitted 2011-12-06)
Here is a vision for health care in America that all people can agree upon:
Imagine a doctor and patient sitting in a doctor's office. The patient has all the money they need to pay for their medical needs. There are no insurance companies in the room. There are no government bureaucrats in the room. Just the doctor, the patient and the money.
How Do You Get There?
With the tax deduction "Cash in the Hand":
For Individuals:
If you could deposit your income tax payment in a Health Savings Account, would you do it?
If you could deposit your property tax payment in a Health Savings Account, would you do it?
Waiters and Waitresses:
Would you like all the sales taxes collected each day by your employer to be divided equally between all the workers in the restaurant and deposited into a Health Savings Account for you?
Workers in a big box store:
Would you like your employers property tax bill divided equally between all the workers and deposited in your Health Savings Account for you?
Would you like your employers corporate income tax bill divided equally between all the workers and deposited in your Health Savings Account?
What can you do with the money in an Health Savings Account?
Buy Health Insurance
Pay for any health related expense
Conclusion
Do you want to live under the ObamaCare health care laws or would you rather have a Health Savings Account made possible by the tax deduction "Cash in the Hand"?
There are two possible visions for America. Imagine two major league baseball stadiums.
In one stadium there are billionaire owners in sky boxes, millionaire players on the field and in the stands there are people at work selling soda, popcorn and peanuts and working for peanuts. The workers in the stands live in public housing, send their kids to public schools, have public health care, take public transportation, live on food stamps with government subsidized utilities and retire onto public pension plans. The billionaire owners and millionaire players pay taxes to support all those government programs.
In another stadium there are billionaire owners in sky boxes, millionaire players on the field and in the stands there are people at work selling soda, popcorn and peanuts, but they are not working for peanuts. The billionaire owners and millionaire players pay the workers in the stands enough money to live in private housing, send their kids to private schools, have private health care, use private transportation, buy their own food and pay for their own utilities and retire onto private pension plans.
Which one is your vision for America?
How You Get to the Second Baseball Stadium:
If you received a $1000 tax deduction for giving a person $1000 for food, would you do it?
If you received a $5000 tax deduction for giving a child $5000 for education, would you do it?
If you received a $10,000 tax deduction for hiring a person and paying them $10,000 for health care, would you do it?
This tax deduction is called "Cash in the Hand" and this is how the tax deduction works.
For Individuals:
If you could deposit your income tax payment in a Health Savings Account, would you do it?
If you could deposit your property tax payment in a Education Savings Account, would you do it?
Waiters and Waitresses:
Would you like all the sales taxes collected each day by your employer to be divided equally between all the workers in the restaurant and deposited into a Housing Savings Account for you?
Workers in a big box store:
Would you like your employers property tax bill divided equally between all the workers and deposited in your Education Savings Account for you?
Would you like your employers corporate income tax bill divided equally between all the workers and deposited in your Retirement Savings Account?
The education, retirement, health, housing, and transportation savings accounts can be one account that each individual controls.
