Lost tribe of Westwood

Change, you gotta love it. First people want it, then they realize that things won't be the same, and then they fear it, then they fight against it. Our need for health care is a big change. Many people fear it for the sake of wanting something to be afraid of. You would think that we were giving every person a brand new house and car for free and saying that this mystical beast that we call "government" will pay for it. Lets get some facts down before this becomes a sci-fi movie of the week.
1- We need a better healthcare system then we have now. The one we have now is broken. We can replace it or fix it. Neither side of the asle want to work togather and want to blame each other.
2- We don't have the money to pay for it. The Republicans left us with a huge deficit and that you can't deny. Maybe we should wait until there is no deficit before spending another dime. Maybe a few more non tax paying people will die off while we wait.
3- Let let the current system run it's course. Prescription, insurance and other medical related companys can write their own rules, make as much profit as they like, and then when they have reach the top of the mountain they can withdraw their money, put millions out of work, and leave people dying without healthcare because they lost heir jobs. Wait, didn't this just happen?
4- Let's throw the baby out with the bath water. Let's change everything.
Our system is not set up to handle something like this. Basic changes need to happen first. Get rid of the income tax and replace it with a stright tax on everything. The more you spend, the more you are taxed. No tax exemptions for anyone. Then offer affordable health care to everyone. It's so easy, even a caveman can do it. More to come.
