Health insurance has an interesting history in America. Somewhere along the way companies who sought quality employees began offering the incentive of paid health insurance, as well as a good salary. Innocently and in the spirit of free enterprise, ambitious and successful businesses wanted to find the best employees they could and so they offered benefits to acquire the quality employees they desired.

Health care in America has never been mandated by the government since its origin, until now.

In 2014, everyone who is not in the lowest-income bracket will be forced to pay a fine if they choose to not be insured by the government’s health care plan. What began as a simple insurance industry has become one of the priciest government investments in American history. Health care is automatically associated with government. It did not start this way and it was not intended to end this way.

Our government believes the 938 billion dollars it plans to spend over ten years on comprehensive health reform should reduce long-term growth of health care costs, protect families from bankruptcy or debt that may have been attributed to health care costs, guarantee choice of doctors, encourage prevention and wellness, improve quality of health care, assure affordability and quality care for all Americans, and continue coverage whether you are working or not.

I’m no oracle, but common sense tells me this is way too good to be true. Being too good to be true is a characteristic of utopian ideas and utopian ideas are associated with Marxism. Marxism is communism and it just does not work.

2,007.6 miles to go.
