An Introduction to the 10 Myths of American Health Care

As we hear of the new 1,000+ page House plan to “reform” health care in America we need to stop and consider what is really going to be reformed and why. In order to properly frame the discussion the following slideshow introduces some of the myths or lies that are being used to push this health care “reform”. These myths are taken from the book The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care – A Citizen’s Guide by Sally C. Pipes. The book is filled with great information about the reality of our current health care problems while dispelling these commonly held beliefs that the politicians and media promulgate in order to push us into a government run health care system. As a generally compassionate society we all want to help our fellow citizen. The questions are: what is the extent of the problem, what are real solutions and how much should we have to sacrifice?

Please check out the slideshow. To see a more detailed synopsis from the book, click on the link at the bottom right of each slide or check out The Top Ten Myths of American Health Care – A Synopsis.

About this Blog

Barack Obama was elected with the promise of "hope and change". The problem with this is that the change that he hopes to bring about is not what most of America really wants. He didn't lie about the changes he was bringing. American voters just didn't listen.

This blog is dedicated to highlighting the "change" that Barack Obama is bringing to this great country of ours and why it is wrong . First, and foremost, we cannot afford it. We cannot afford to mortgage our children's and grandchildren's futures. It is wrong for us to burden them with this debt for our gratification, all under the banner of "hope and change". When we hear of doubling the national debt in 5 years and tripling it in 10 we should think, this isn't right, this isn't fair to them.

Passing on their debts to the next generation would be forcing the children of the future to be born into a certain amount of bondage or involuntary servitude - something for which they had neither voted nor subscribed. It would be, in a very literal sense, "taxation without representation."

from The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen on the Founding Fathers principle of Avoiding the Burden of Debt
