As we’re watching the whole conversation of “National Government ‘Healthcare'” and what is going to happen next, it brought back to mind an article we posted 9+ years ago and is still awaiting answers. It’s still very troubling how our healers are back on the board as a commodity, not highly valued professionals. We still believe this is totally unacceptable. What say you?

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE HEALERS?
As we’re watching “Obamacare” implode, piece by piece, and there are more questions than answers going forward. I’m now trying to figure out who decided, and when they decided, that those among US, who chose to invest the time and the capital, and have the aptitude to be healers, should be regulated and abused as a human commodity? In this whole national “healthcare” discussion, we seem to have just decided that those who choose to be Doctors, Nurses and any other Healthcare Specialists, will just do as the system tells them to. Maybe I’m just a nut-job, but I believe it should be the decision of the healers to decide to whom they will choose, within reason, to provide services. They should be held to the same basic standards that any professional is of not discriminating against someone on race, creed, color, national origin, etc. But, there is no justice involved in them being subservient to a corrupt national system which attempts to control the use, and the monetary value, of their labor and talents. I mean, do we do this to a plumber, or an engineer, or a carpenter, or a house-keeper or any other crafts-person? That simple answer is no.
I think that most of our fellow Humans who choose to be healers do so for all of the right reasons, the biggest reason being that they want to make a difference and make the lives of their fellow Humans better. And personally, I believe they should be compensated exceptionally for their services. I want them to be afforded the best luxuries and to be well recreated and rested when they show up in the middle of the night and save my life. Or your life. Somewhere, somehow, we have decided that what these exceptional individuals choose to do for the betterment of our communities is a commodity, to be regulated and directed by the national government. What the hello is up with that?
Please excuse my language, but how has our national government been given dominion over these individuals’ labor? Doesn’t this directly cut right to the foundation of all that is the United States and our Divinely granted rights of personal Freedom and self-determination? I have great respect for my fellow Humans who choose to dedicate their lives to being healers. I’m just trying to understand how and why we tend to expect these people to provide their life-saving talents at whatever the collective decides their rates should be? How has this come to be? And become a dictate of the national government nonetheless? Why doesn’t every Dr. have the right to decide who and under what circumstances they choose to do business? Without being penalized? I think we get too caught up in the emotion of the discussion and not the real substance of it.
Every Doctor, Nurse and other Healthcare Specialists and every clinic/practice should decide how and with whom they choose to do business. These healers make great sacrifices to do what they do for US and deserve our thanks and our respect. And healthcare is, well should be, a market driven business. What makes us believe that they should be treated any different than any other professional? I don’t believe they should. What will this do to future generations in making their decision whether or not to pursue medicine as a profession? And if we keep it up, what will happen to the healers? Or is the bigger question, what will happen to the rest of US?
God Bless America! And Please America, Bless God Again!
