Macroeconomics Lesson for House Speaker Paul Ryan USCOURTS.GOV website facts can not be disputed

http://peaceactivist1.blogspot.com Macroeconomics Lesson for House Speaker Paul Ryan https://uscourts.gov website facts can not be disputed. It is critical that every Congressional candidate communicates why having a correct interpretation on the how the Affordable Healthcare Act has had a very positive effect on the United States Economy. Having a clear understanding of Macroeconomics makes it easier to understand just how positive an effect on the economy the Affordable Healthcare Act passed in March of 2010 had. Statistical evidence available on the official government website’s http://uscourts.gov and http://bls.gov will expose Republican alternative facts and political spin to be flat out falsehoods. The fiscal year of 2010 more than 1.6 million people filed for bankruptcy of which 62% filed listed unpaid medical bills as primary reason for filing for bankruptcy. This means 992,000 people filed for bankruptcy (2720 bankruptcies filed every day because people did not have adequate insurance or any insurance to cover medical bills. 2011 saw a 12% decline of bankruptcies filed followed by another 14% decline in 2012…followed by another 12% decline in 2013 followed by another 12% decline in 2014. Today in the year 2017 the amount of people filing for bankruptcy listing unpaid medical bills as primary reason for filing is lessthan half what they were in 2010. In fact visit http://uscourts.gov and you will discover even small business bankruptcy filings in 2017 are less than half what they were in 2010. Every time Speaker Paul Ryan said that the affordable healthcare act needed to be repealed because it kills the creation of small business jobs the factual evidence available on http://uscourts.gov and http://bls.gov proves this to be a flat out lie. Fact it proves Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate House Majority leader McConnell both chose to be intellectually dishonest. Communicating a misinterpretation their complain that the Affordable Healthcare Act hurts small business and kills jobs is more than just Political Spin it is a flat out lie. Continuing to allow the Insurance Industry to manage healthcare is not only fiscally irresponsible but ends up creating situations where people die because they simple wait to a medical condition requires they visit an emergency room for proper medical treatment of their injury or medical condition. 17 cents of every medical dollar spent on hospital care goes to administrative cost. More than 15 cents of every medical dollar is spent is for Administrative costs incurred by your Doctor. Before the Affordable Healthcare Act was passed 1 out every 5 Doctor prescribed treatments (deemed medically necessary) were being denied by the Insurance industry. In a Hospital in Toronto comparable in size ot Boston’s Mass General their administrative cost is only 2.5%. The moronic concept proposed by many Congressmen is that selling Insurance across state lines will drive down costs. All it does is increase the administration expense that medical clinics, hospital’s and Doctor’s must factor in as a cost of providing Medical services to their patients. Most of your Senator’s and Congressmen know this but figure accepting campaign donations from more than 6000 lobbyists makes their job running for Congress easier. Republican Congressmen and even some Democrat Congressmen just chose to be intellectual dishonest and take contributions from the Insurance lobby and allow them to dictate Healthcare Public Policy. Currently people pay taxes for their Teachers, Fireman, Police, Firemen salaries and various other state county and city services. Today more than 54% of the federal budget is spent on National Defense. 900 Military bases and more than 1.2 million soldiers worldwide. Dr Martin Luther King once said A nation that continues year after year to spend more than more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom. In 2017 54% of the Budget was for the Military and that is not including the Veterans Administration budget of 3%. In 2017 only 6% went for Education. Back in 1968 when Dr. Martin Luther King said that America was than involved in the Vietnam War and even than the Military budget did not approach the 50% of the entire budget. Government should protect people and regulate corporations not protect corporations and regulate people. Progressive Democrats and Democrat Socialists both believe that access to affordable healthcare is everyone's civil right. We believe that because of Insurance corporate welfare that the Insurance Industry will always fight against the average Americans ability to access affordable healthcare. In a few minutes I will discuss the fact 29 million people who the Affordable Healthcare Act has failed to cover and who face bankruptcy because of unpaid medical bills. We are not against the rich. We are against the top one percent using their wealth to gain an unfair advantage. We are not against corporations. We are against corporations governing us. We are not against capitalism. We are against corruption in capitalism. A Progressive Democrat believes in Democrat Socialism. For example, the insurance industry lobby spending 1.4 million dollars a day the years 2009 and 2010 prior to the Affordable Healthcare Act was passed. The fact is in 2013 the government was shut down because the Insurance Industry demanded that the affordable healthcare act be repealed. According to Standard and Poor’s this cost the United States economy 24 billion dollars. Congress voting more than 55 times to repeal the affordable healthcare act has cost taxpayers more than 90 million dollars. We believe that if you believe corporations are people that you clearly in favor and support of corporate cronyism. It is critical to have the Supreme Court Decision Citizens United overturned. We believe that the military industrial complex corrupt influence on foreign policy must be denied. We believe every true patriot will demand from congress and the President. They work together to put a stop to that corrupt influence. We are not against banks we are against fraudulent banking practices.... like those that led to an economic collapse in 2008. President Trump believes putting Mic Mulvaney in charge of the Consumer Protection Bureau is an ethical move. Because of many banks fraudulent practices, they were fined and were being forced by the Government to pay fines and restitution to the people they defrauded. Much of this will now end. We are not against investment markets, we against fraud in those markets. We are not against democracy but because of the Citizens United decision has led to the sale of influence by our elected representatives
