Why are the Tea Parties focusing on Government Run Healthcare?
3 Core Values of Tea Party Patriots Are:
�
Fiscal Responsibility
Limited Government
Free Markets
Socialized Health Care blatantly violates every single one of these core values. Fiscal Responsibility v. Spending, Spending, Spending
The current administration has spent trillions of dollars so far and we are setting new records for debt every day. Spending in 2009 has increased in excess of 25%, which is the largest non-war government expansion since the New Deal. Government Run Healthcare is a multi-trillion dollar program, which will crush an already embattled private sector economy, while government continues to grow.
Limited Govt. v. Govt. Bureaucrat Decision Makers
Bureaucrats and politicians, not families, will control health care choices and decisions. The horror stories of long waits and denied treatment in countries with government health care systems cannot be denied. Government health care doesn’t work.
Free Markets v. Public Option
When the government begins offering programs that the private sector already offers, the government becomes competition for the private sector and stifles its ability to grow.�
Even the White House says the President’s rhetoric shouldn’t be taken “literally” when he promises you won’t lose your current plan. They understand private insurers will be incentivized out of markets which will no longer be “free.”
