What Democrats Want, Day 68, Countdown to Oblivion? HEALTHCARE PART 2

As of today, there are 68 days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history. 

The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political power and control of the masses.

Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election scheduled for November 3, 2020.

As we indicated yesterday in healthcare part 1 the major difference between the communistic Democratic Party and the capitalistic Republican Party is who ultimately should control a person’s healthcare. The Democrats insists it is government. The Republicans prefer the individual and the free market system. In other words, for the Dems it is their god, government, for the GOP it is the individual acting in a free market having various options from which to choose.

Today we will examine a few more major viewpoints of the two major political parties related to the healthcare issue. 

Is Abortion Healthcare?

We previously discussed abortion in post 93 and post 92 of this series, but here we will emphasize the claim by Democrats that it is a component of healthcare and the Republican opposition to that point of view. Democrats claim abortion to be healthcare, a “constitutional right,” a woman’s “reproductive right,” and something taxpayers should fund. The platform of the Democratic Party seems to mirror more Communist China’s position on abortion, short of forcing a woman to have an abortion. 

The Democratic Party platform supports “repealing the Hyde Amendment” to allow the government to fund abortion.  Their platform supports “codifying” the right to abortion. Democrats believe every woman should be able to access…reproductive healthcare services, including safe and legal abortions.” Democrats “oppose and fight to overturn federal and state laws that create barriers to reproductive health and rights.” Democrats also oppose FDA safety restrictions on chemical abortion pills. The Democrat platform supports repealing President Trump’s changes to the Title X program that separate abortion from federal family planning grants.

The Democrat platform also calls for overturning “federal and state laws and policies that impede a woman’s access to abortion.” The platform also says the Democrat Party “will continue to stand up to Republican efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.”  Planned Parenthood primary business is killing the unborn.

On the other hand, Republicans oppose public funding of abortion. They say they are “Proud to be the party that protects human life and offers real solutions for women” and “strongly oppose(s) infanticide.” Supports the following: the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Act; a human life constitutional amendment; a ban on abortion after 20 weeks, when unborn babies can feel pain; a ban on abortion based on sex or disability; a ban on dismemberment abortion” in which unborn babies are literally torn apart limb from limb; abortion clinic safety regulations; a ban on human cloning, and on creating and experimenting upon human embryos, including three parent embryos; a ban on the any sale of fetal body parts; and a ban on the “use of public funds to perform or promote abortion or fund organizations, like Planned Parenthood.” 

Just this one issue, abortion, would be enough to cause voters to run from the Democratic Party in every elective office in every election!

Conscience Rights in Healthcare

The Democratic Party supports the HHS contraception mandate against faith-based groups like the Little Sisters of the Poor. They also condemn the Trump Administration’s regulation clarifying the definition of “sex discrimination” in the Affordable Care Act. This regulation allows doctors, hospitals, and insurance companies to practice medicine and operation in accordance with their conscience.

The Republican Party platform supports the conscience rights of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and healthcare plans that do not want to participate in morally objectionable services like abortion. Their platform also supports “the right of parents to determine the proper medical treatment and therapy for their minor children.” 

One controversial area is the growing trend to offer so-called “gender reassignment” therapies (medications and even body mutilating surgeries) with or without parental consent. The Democrats support this child abuse, while Republicans oppose it.

The Left, including the Democrats use "Comprehensive Health Care" when they talk about some of the procedures that are not really healthcare but something they want to label damaging procedures.

Monthly Membership Fee Based

One innovative idea for reforming healthcare is described in this article, “Some Medical Practices Move to Monthly Membership Fees for Patients.” “Just about everyone agrees that the way we pay for primary care needs fixing. Under the current insurance model, doctors get paid for procedures and tests rather than for time spent with patients, which makes doctors and patients alike unhappy and increases costs. Now some medical practices are sidelining health insurers entirely, instead charging patients a moderate membership fee each month. The approach gets a nod in the health overhaul law. But not everyone agrees it’s the right way to go.” I have heard of practices going to this model.

The Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom defines two non-insurance approaches to funding one’s healthcare needs.

Ø  Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a free market option that allows a patient to contract directly with their doctor for access to a mutually agreed upon list of services. This is not a third-party insurance arrangement. DPC contracts eliminate the need for insurance, as this is a private contract between the patient and doctor. The patient pays the doctor directly.

Ø  Health Sharing Ministries are voluntary cooperatives between individuals without the underwriting or risk adjustment mechanisms of insurance. Members of health sharing ministries simply agree to share each other's medical costs.

Conclusion

The communistic Democratic Party’s go-to or default position on many issues  --   including healthcare, education, guns, fossil fuel use, etc. -- is centralized control. Government always knows best. Government is god. 

If the communistic Democratic Party gains control of both Houses of Congress as well as the Presidency in this fall’s General Election we will have absolute government control of everyone’s healthcare. We will certainly have rationed healthcare, which is social engineering by murder (death panels). 

Remember the false promises made by President Obama used to sell Obamacare. Participants would be able to keep their healthcare plan, keep their doctor at a reduced cost were all lies. Educate yourself, voter, and be sure to vote, your healthcare and life is on the line!
