Affordable & Accessible Healthcare Will Save Both Lives & Money — yet Joe Knollenberg does has not supported any programs that will make healthcare more affordable and accessible.
The Washington Post reported on a tragic case where a child’s parents couldn’t afford to pay a Dentist to have a tooth extracted and the abcess in the tooth spread to the child’s brain and killed him.
Not only did an innocent child die needlessly, anyone who says that the US cannot afford to provide universal healthcare would be wise to consider the financial toll of this case.
According to the Washington Post, the tooth extraction would have cost $80.
Instead, after the abcess had spread, the child spent 6 weeks in the hospital and had two surgeries to try to fight off the infection in his brain at a cost of over $250,000.
So for those with a cold heart who say that as a Country we can’t afford universal healthcare, ask whether we can continue to afford not to have it.

And where is Joe Knollenberg on this topic, well the only thing Joe has proposed is to give a $200 tax credit to the employer of the dead child’s parents if they go to a seminar on how to quit smoking. Joe’s plan wouldn’t have done a thing to help that poor kid.
Knollenberg’s “healthcare” plan is not about solving the healthcare crisis in this country, it is about giving taxpayer money out to companies as a favor to wealthy lobbyists who in turn fill his campaign coffers and take him on luxurious vacations.

If the socialist aren’t stopped this next election nobody but the government will have any say over your bodies and what you do with them. Not you ,not the government doctors, nobody but the government officials. Then after they pay for your health care the will then be able to tell you what you can and can’t do with your body. Copy this down and put it on your refrigerator for future reference. I hope Americans will snap out of this irresponsible trance and save America.
Below is a simple example that anyone can calculate on their own to prove the point.
We don’t have an health care problem in this country, we have a responsibility and values problem. Hospitalization insurance in the early seventies cost about 12-25% of ones families monthly income (1972-State Farm Family Plan- No Employer Involvement -$79 Month). Today in most cases its not even 25%. The main difference is technology and consumerism have given us dozens of new things that we have come to consider necessities. Couple that with the socialist #1 weapon of “promoted diminished responsibility” and you get people placing their multiple cell phones, TV with Cable, Second Cars, Sony play stations, internet service ,on and on and on, etc etc etc , ahead of their own family’s health care.
No Virginia, the cost of health insurance hasn’t gone up, just the values of the people have gone down to a point where they can see their responsibility eye to eye.
Yes Virginia, you are about to lose your American freedoms for Eastern European Socialist Control ( Click here to see socialism in the US )
