The reason people are turning to insurance companies is because healthcare costs too much. My doctor is over a hundred dollars to see without insurance. Many doctors are the same. Prescriptions here are ridiculously higher than in other countries. Canadians are coming down here to see our doctors, but we're often looking to them to get our prescriptions. It shouldn't be this bad.
This is because people are turning to insurance and in fact, seem to have very little choice in shopping for doctors and prescriptions. Under single payer it will be worse.
In other words, the reason health care costs have skyrocketed is because the free market has been removed from the equation. The government has created a water empire and if you rely on their water, they can determine your life.
The reason it is causing you anxiety is because you are looking at it as if it were the only game in town so it is the only choice you think you have.
People who have everything cannot be helpless. It is impossible. If they believe they are helpless they are only because they believe they are.
Trying to improve health care by turning more of it over to the people who have screwed it up is a prime example of messing with effects instead of dealing with the cause. Everything you need, you already have. You only do not realize it because you are looking outside yourself. As long as you believe you are helpless, you will continue to live in fear and no matter how much money is thrown at the health care system, it will continue to decline while your fear will grow. If you want to fix health care, first you will need to give up being afraid for both yourself and for others. Nobody can accomplish anything when they are afraid except perhaps to increase fear, which is the same as doing nothing.
If you knew you were invulnerable, would you still be afraid? It is only because you do not know yourself that you are afraid and somehow, to the fearful, slavery seems like a refuge. It is not.
In the old days, I would be afraid that your willingness to choose slavery for yourself would mean that you would choose slavery for me also. But now I see it is a simple matter and that your fear cannot enslave me, only my fear can do that, and when I remember who I am, I cannot be afraid. Like any addiction, eventually fear becomes all about the fear and it is only when one gets to the point where they can see the addiction does not even feed itself that it can be put aside.
Do not be afraid that just because I do not wish to be under the single payer health care plan that means that you will die from lack of health care. That is only the addiction speaking. No one has any power over you, even if you think you gave it to them. It is like building a house of cards and pretending it is real and fearing it will collapse. Of course it will collapse but there is no need for fear because it is not a real house.
