Universal Car Care

Government Car CareAnybody up for universal car care?

After all, taking care of your car is expensive, and if we can get the government to steal from other people…er, get the government to give us “free” health care, why can’t we get the government to give us “free” car care, too?

About the video…

First Do No Harm video contest.
What if there was universal car care? The government could take your tax money to run and regulate all your automotive repair. People who couldn’t afford to get their cars fixed could now be assured of equal care care quality. If you had done what it took to properly maintain your car, you would rarely need to burden the system but when you needed the best service the government would provide, they’d be there to see your car was as good as new and back on the road…. or not.

Those of us who have lived under government health care systems know too well that there is an uncomfortable amount of truth in this video.

Let’s hold our elected representatives accountable.

  • What if we declared food a fundamental right (nothing more fundamental than that)? Does anyone really imagine that we could just open grocery stores with all their stocked shelves and allow everyone to help themselves? How long could that last? Yet, many liberals seem to think that we can do essentially that with health care and everyone will get whatever they want, whenever they want and at no cost to them personally. The demand would outstrip supply in very short order. Just like in the car care or grocery analogy, the only way to control demand would be by rationing, and that would be accomplished first, by making it so complicated and unpleasant to seek care that few would do so unless they were very ill and, second, by simply limiting the resources like labs, CTs, MRIs, and drugs so that they would be unavailable or available only after longs waits. Of course, long wait times discourage people from seeking care or ensures that a percentage die of their problem while waiting. Dead patients no longer put any stress on the system.
