The debate goes on, should the government be responsible for providing our health and wellness care?There are plenty of arguments for and against national healthcare.At one time, everyone was responsible for their own health, there was no insurance. In that day and age, health care was a lot less expensive than it really is today, even considering the rate of inflation through the years.The rise in expense has in part is due to all of the new technology on the market, but to a big degree, the rising cost is due to increased demand.Due to change inside our national mentality, in a large part because of negotiated union contracts, everyone thinks their healthcare is free. Most have come to believe this is a right, a right no-one pays for.I'm a company believer that affordable healthcare ought to be available to everyone.However, because of the present system, very few people realize the expense of health care, and because it is presumably absolve to them, they go to the doctor for every little sniffle they get. Many visits are unnecessary and costly. People visit the emergency room for a skinned knee, or perhaps a splinter within their hand, these emergencies could possibly be taken care of in the home.It has become "fashionable" to go to the emergency room.Health insurance ought to be paid for by the individual. If every individual was responsible for their healthcare, they might become more knowledgeable on which "works" and what doesn't.Most companies offering health insurance allocate a certain amount of wages for the payment of benefits including health insurance, if they tell the employee or not.The individual employee ought to be made alert to this, that money ought to be allocated to the average person so they can purchase their health care on an individual basis.Thereby eliminating any corporate influence the company could exert on the insurance provider, and it would open the insurance industry to more competition, that's always a good thing.That would enable the given individual to have significantly more control over his healthcare and ensure his right to have or not need insurance.In some instances, when both spouses work and are included in their individual company insurance, both companies are providing and paying for health insurance and only 1 health plan is needed.Therefore, money is wasted by the couple because they don't use the insurance provided by one company. If the amount of money was allocated to the employee, he or she could decide how to best use the money in a means that would benefit the couple instead of the money being flushed down the drain.It would make the average person more responsible for their own health and welfare, and it will be his choice to have or not have health care.If he chooses never to have health insurance, then he would be responsible for any charges incurred, and pay the consequences for not having insurance.By reducing the demand by eliminating people going to a health care provider or er unless necessary, then the cost would naturally drop, and people would find the alternative, less expensive, better forms of treatment.Of course, there will always be an element of society who are struggling to care for themselves and they should be provided for, but there are far too many people abusing the system.The only way to avoid that is for folks to stay charge of their own health. Regardless of what you believe, no-one, including the government will look after you as if you will.That is America, our country was founded on the idea of the individual having the ability to make his or her own choices concerning how exactly to run their lives, it's time we returned to those ideals and get government out of life management.I have traversed the globe in search of truth, my truth, where time I've had an opportunity to study with Aborigine elders, native American Indians, plus some of the world's finest intuitive. All this has lead me to raised understand our world and everything therein contained.I have created a website to share some of my adventures and knowledge as I see it.[1]I've written several books and am available for book signings and speaking engagements.
