Why Not Socialize Medical Care?

     The United States is a large country. Albeit not as large a Russia or China. But a large country none the less. The problem is that we no longer have a manufacturing base to support the population. When is the last time you picked something up that was made in the USA? 
    In my simple mind I believe most of the situation that we have to live with came from the greed of the super wealthy. Thirty some years ago they decided that the American work force was too lazy, sick, and unwilling to work. So they sent most of the production off shore. 
    So the factories closed. Walmart moved in. We became a service economy. Unfortunately people went on unemployment, all the mom and pop stores closed and you could get a job mowing someones lawn. This works for a while. But eventually wears thin. You can only pass the same money back and forth so many times and it simply wears out. 
     Right now the smartest people are either ripping someone off or getting government entitlements. The young people have picked up on this. So they are retiring at twenty years old. Disabled. Because they cannot stand the stress of working and everyday life. 
     What we need to do is require a one year of military service for every eighteen year old. That way they can get  VA medical service. As they do in Switzerland and Israel. 
     So if we socialize medical care this would be a large blow for insurance companies. When Medicare was passed it was supposed to cover everything. Not eighty percent. So why do older people have to pay? 
     I do not think that Medicaid folks pay any co pay. So why should the old people? We always pay a lot for insurance. As do the companies we work for in the event you work. 
     The whole thing boils down to the insurance and banking system. Insurance companies once if not now owned the big banks. Because they had an enormous cash flow. So they could take a chance on risky consumer credit. Banks around the world trade money throughout the day. Making just a tad bid on each other. When you put it into the big picture quite a lot. 
     Socialized medicine would let people retire early. But that would make young people have to work. Which they do not want to do. 
     Has any of our presidential candidates mentioned how or when they are going to fix things?  They never do. Because they do not want to make anyone mad. Just get votes. That's what it is all about. 
     I would like to see a candidate spell out exactly how they are going to fix things. They would have to step on someones toes. And they do not want to do that.
