Failure Analysis of 20th Century Economics


Medicare

Next to money, nothing concerns the individual more than care for his health and his education. When it comes to 'health', it's your 'money' or your 'life'. Truth and fact is, your money and your life in this mortal existence are one and the same.

Medicare was introduced under the socialist administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, to cover the costs of hospitals and doctors for citizens who reached the retirement age of 65.

Medicare must be retained and continued until the industrial engineering and manufacturing capability of the United States is restored.1

The socialist administration of government came into power and stays in power, election after election, embracing the 'socialist' ideology (by Democrats and Republicans alike) that panders to and preys on human weakness. The 'socialist' government delivers health, education and welfare programs to the Nation under a socialist-collective system of budgeting and funding subsidy of the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry.

Medical and hospital care costs became unaffordable for the wage earner, because of socialist government intervention and control of the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry, by subsidy of that profession and that industry. This has been done to the extent that the hourly hour wage-earners, or the small business structures that employ them, cannot, by any stretch of imagination, compete with the $1000.002, and upwards, per hour cost of hospital or medical care.

Material standard of living in our mortal existence depends solely on product and the manufacture of product. There does not exist, anywhere in the world, any non-manufacturing occupation, profession or employment that is not solely dependent on the manufacture of product or the weaving of cloth for its existence, or improvement of conditions for living.

Given a choice, we should opt for private collectives, through private medical health-care insurance, through U.S. citizen-owned manufacturing factories, textile mills and private family-owned farms, that can engage the millions in productive employment to care for our own.

Restoration of the manufacturing factories, the textile mills and the family farm, is my goal and desire for our otherwise rudderless 'ship-of-state'.

[1Destructive money and tax policy since 1945 deliberately destroyed the manufacturing factories, the textile mills and the family farm, to make way for the banking and finance industry, and international conglomerate corporation control of the 'global economy'.]

[2The $1000.00 per hour is an imaginary number. The real number is most likely higher.]
