I hope ObamaCare will be delayed. It could take
us to a recession with higher taxes to pay for and less hiring by small
businesses due to the fear of any extra cost. If it requires the company to
implement when the number of employees reaches 50, small businesses will cut
down the employees to that number and/or hire part-timers that will not be
counted for this purpose.

"Healthcare reform has
been an outstanding success in Massachusetts," a famous author says,
calling it a "template" for the nation.”
My arguments against it:
1. Mass. is a rich state with relatively educated citizens. It is the same argument that any political system and national health care system would work in Norway as they're so rich and they can afford to be nice.
2. The welfare, entitlements...are too generous and eventually will kill the state. We in Mass. no longer afford manufacturing of low-cost products and many companies already have moved to southern states. When we have too many free loaders and too few givers, we'll bankrupt or drive the rich away as demonstrated in Greece.

Singapore is spending 2% of GDP in its
world-class health care, Israel is spending 8% of GDP on health care and we are
spending 18%.

A recent research
study reported: 0.5% of Canadians come to the U.S. for elective care; 99.39% do
not come to the U.S. for medical care, and 0.11% seeks emergency care within
the U.S. (i.e. as tourists).
Many Canadians cannot wait for the medical care and
some die during the long wait. When you are rich and healthy, you want to pay
the insurance yourself and not for other folks’ health insurance. There is no
perfect solution.
The U.S. must protect themselves from these ‘tourist
patients’ and illegal aliens that are burdening our emergency rooms and
bankrupting our system.
