Dr. Jay Parkinson on Health Reform
Dr. Jay Parkinson of Hello Health, “Money doesn’t grow on trees. And let’s get this straight. Obama essentially mandates employer provided health insurance. This simply doesn’t make sense for this modern age of freelancing and changing jobs every two to three years.
We should abandon the employer sponsored health insurance. It worked in the 40s and 50s. It no longer works Obama. Our culture changed. It even changed for the out of touch, and soon to be retired (or dead) boomers who designed your handout to the insurance industry reform.
Wouldn’t this money be better spent as an individual in the same way we purchase car insurance? We could decide how to invest our $4 million we spend over our lifetime on healthcare. We could decide how we invest retirement money to ensure we have enough for healthcare.
I’d like to know if a single Gen X or Millenial had a say in this reform. We should be the ones reforming the system, not those who won’t live long enough to feel the pain from their corporate-influenced mistakes. We sure as hell are responsible for your election. And once you got elected, you ignore us and turn it over to the grey hairs. Thanks man.”
