Washington, be careful what you wish for

All of the talk regarding health care and the bills that were recently passed has been that Washington wants control of it. Yes, it's true, but there is also the part that we forget, and that is how we savvy Americans may wind up adapting to this. I had a firestorm of thoughts regarding my last post that I'd like to share.

This health care bill is about control, not health care. Well, it's also NOT about other businesses that provide other services and/or goods. almost a year ago, my family and I walked into the local Wal-Mart and found the place had been turned upside-down. They had sectored off the middle of the store so no one could see what was going on inside.

Several weeks later, all was exposed. A huge pharmacy was revealed. The place is practically 1/4 waiting room. "How odd!" I thought. Many other related corporations in the area have also provided a small medical facility for walk-in medical care. This is the future of medical care. The fact is, many medical services have found ways around the high cost of insurance already. Many private, affordable walk-in clinics are already in place.

So what does this health care law do to the newer private clinics? It's going to substantially increase their patient lists! those 50 and under already find Doctor's offices that take Medicare/Medicaid a cumbersome experience. Here is what no one talking about. We've already begun to adapt to the Government intrusions and don't know it yet.

What are Democrat legislators after all, but prostitutes for their votes? How many lobbyists gamed the health care law along with campaign money for the company's benefit? What's in the law may potentially benefit both Doctors AND larger corporations, AND hurt Democrats in the process. Why? BECAUSE THEY TOOK MONEY AND DIDN'T READ THE BILL!!! The retail & medical industry are already merging to save costs for themselves. It's only a matter of time before non-retail/non-medical industries begin to figure this out.

Let's think about what a Doctor's office entails. The space, the equipment, the staff, the insurance, the salaries, the paperwork. All time consuming, all expensive. What's the difference at a larger corporation, other than the medical angle? This law will force Doctors into owning other types of businesses for income. Wal-Mart will give the Doctor stock in the company, along with a salary for his medical services, and provide a hybrid staff with the pharmacist/other. Guess what? Wal-Mart can provide their own insurance too! Voila! problem solved! Feds say "you can't pay the Doctor that much." Corporate says "Fine, we'll give him more stock, buy a car & yacht for corporate purposes, and lower his salary." In the process, Doctors WILL GET WEALTHIER as stockholders in another industry!

The Feds want to control what the Doctor OWNS the health care law says? Fine! Let the corporation own it, and the Doctor as stockholder can use it! A hundred ways to skin a cat. Large retail chains will come to arrangements with insurance companies to get around some of these ridiculous laws. The desire to overcome the poison that this law is could potentially force us to build stronger private community ties.

There simply is too much medical need that is being addressed in America that is already substantially cheaper than what the Government can possibly control. Large corporations can buffer Doctors by masking medical needs with pharmacy and other needs, and a quiet campaign contribution (yes, it stinks I know) will make them go away.

Anyways, as the reading of this law unfolds, some of this may have to be modified, but I think you catch my drift here.
