Energy and private Medicare are heavily subsidized by gov't: HEALTH CARE 4 ALL SHOULD BE SUBSIDIZED
A reposte to Peri Morgan's group NC100----a group which is whittling away at mental health parity in the NC Legislature:
Bill Franklin bought forward the following important point: "... business is frankly
subsidized, particularly medicine, health care, drugs, hospitals, etc. by government,
the people, than is commonly realized...."
I would hope, Ms. Morgan, that NC100 would respectfully admit to benefiting from subsidies like the below-----as do we all. American business in particular is heavily subsidized but the minute you start talking about universal health care, they drag out the very defunct 'socialized medicine' argument.
I tell you what: the citizens won't subsidize business and business can pay the full price of what it is attempting to do and the citizens will shut up about universal health care.
I would like to suggest that business would benefit from people having efficient, one-payer, Medicare-like health insurance which would be a 'subsidy' as associated with having a health work force. We can have a win-win solution only if business will cooperate in order that we all can work together for common solutions----NOT if business attempts to twist our arms and steal from our pockets at the same time.
ENERGY AND HEALTH ARE HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED IN THE UNITED STATES. AND HEALTH INSURANCE FOR ALL SHOULD BE SUBSIDIZED ALSO.
Respectfully, Marsha V. Hammond,PhD

Lawmakers Push for Big Subsidies for Coal Process
By EDMUND L. ANDREWS
Published: May 29, 2007
WASHINGTON, May 28 — Even as Congressional leaders draft legislation to reduce greenhouse gases linked to global warming, a powerful roster of Democrats and Republicans is pushing to subsidize coal as the king of alternative fuels.
Prodded by intense lobbying from the coal industry, lawmakers from coal states are proposing that taxpayers guarantee billions of dollars in construction loans for coal-to-liquid production plants, guarantee minimum prices for the new fuel, and guarantee big government purchases for the next 25 years.

DISPLAYING ABSTRACT - If private health plans are supposedly so great at delivering high-quality care while holding down costs, why does the government have to keep subsidizing them so lavishly to participate in the Medicare program?
