Health Care Funding for AMERICANS???
On This Day: October 3, 2013 at 7:11am from my personal Facebook Page. I have posted a REAL solution to the question for healthcare care funding here in the US in my piece below. FYI - I am collecting Information on this year's Budget Proposal for the 2018 Fiscal Budget. Same theory applies on how to spend Taxpayer Dollars in this country.
Yesterday on World News there was a piece about Medical Missions to Ethiopia. Well, that's nice.
Did you know we have poor families & children in this country??? It is actually the cause of the Government impasse & the resulting shutdown of our Government that this country is facing.
.
My question is this: What is the Good Doctor's funding source?
.
If he is self-financing his own mission with his own $$$ then my hat's off to him. Good job.
.
We see many private charities seeking donations & providing life-saving medical help abroad every day like Alicia Keys & Jennifer Hudson's own charitable project "Keep a Child Alive."
.
Bill Gates is back home from his philanthropic, self-funded Medical Mission where he has done a world of good with HIS OWN FUNDS.
.
The US is a member nation of the World Health Organization (WHO) but we are not the only ones. When our government has a temporary shutdown over the Republican/Democratic brawl over HEALTHCARE FUNDING IN THIS COUNTRY why in the world would we spend Tax Payor Dollars on Medical Charities Abroad when there is so much need back here at home in this country???

The attached budget shows where & how our Foreign Aide Dollars are spent. Our largest expenditure BY FAR is on global medical assistance. If we withheld just the healthcare portion & continued assistance for things like Education, Agriculture, Military Support & worthwhile efforts like these, we could use those same TAX PAYOR FUNDED HEALTHCARE DOLLARS for the good of our own people.
.
Now how hard was that to figure out??? Don't we pay our elected government officials to figure this out for us???
.
Anyone can point out a problem. Problems are easy to find. How do we intend to FIX IT???
.
I'm just saying.
