GeneHilbert	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 8:00 AM I was asked to propose my Universal Health Care Plan. My plan for health care is: A. Welfare Recipients: Every American that is capable of working is going do so. No more free rides. If you presently collect welfare and are not retired or physically disabled, your ass is going to work..... Men: You will be employed either as: 1.) Road crew, repairing this nation’s highways and bridges, levee and dam maintenance. 2.) Hired out to work in the agriculture field, farm or ranch hand. 3.) Factory worker, maintenance, trash collectors, or custodial. 4.) Your education and current skills will be evaluated and I’ll find you something to do. Women: You will be employed either as part of: 1.) Heath care industry, including hospitals, nursing homes, hospice and child care for newly employed welfare recipients. 2.) Hired out to work in the agriculture field, farm or ranch hand. 3.) Factory worker, maintenance or custodial. 4.) Your education and current skills will be evaluated and I’ll find you something to do. Men & Women’s health care will be a part of your benefit and compensation package. B. All foreign diplomats; living in the US are subject to pay a yearly fee of $50,000 “Privilege Alien Fee”. All foreign diplomats; visiting the US are subject to pay a $10,000 weekly “Privilege Alien Fee”. All moneys collected through “Privilege Alien Fee”. Go to “Emergency Medical Fund”. This fund will help to off set national heath care. The “Emergency Medical Fund” IS NOT available for congressional discretionary spending. These funds are close funds. All undocumented foreigners will be shown the door. Savings alone from not having the leaching effect of illegals will save hospitals millions. The effect will result in lower overhead and cost reductions. C. Insurance companies will be federally regulated. No more gouging, no more non payments due to unscrupulous company policies. You pick your own doctor, and your doctor and you decide no your best options for medical treatment. All drivers will have mandatory insurance not to exceed 2% of yearly income. All people not covered by private insurance companies will have mandatory insurance not to exceeded 3% per individual or 5% of family yearly household income. This mandatory insurance fee is 100% income tax deductible. Pay your taxes you get your health care free. This is a basic proposal – to which modifications can and will be made.
Distilled1	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 8:03 AM can I run as your not as conservative VP
Distilled1	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 8:05 AM you have a good plan Gene really anyone that wants to bunk what you wrote in there is blind!
Distilled1	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 8:06 AM and A. has always been the way I see it I don't see why it can't be done in all honesty! \
leflaw	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 8:17 AM How about undocumented citizens?
Distilled1	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 8:19 AM ^ pay to play?
GeneHilbert	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 9:14 AM How about undocumented citizens? Good question, if you are out of the system...... You are on your own. Insure yourself or pay as you go. Seeing as this is a democracy you may opt out and insure yourself. If you choose to opt out and you need major medical care and you are insured. You are fine. However; if you are not covered by an insurance plan and you can not pay immediately. You will receive treatment then you will be required to compensate the Dr. and/or hospital for treatments received. Payment plan and scheduling will be worked out between you and the provider. Please do not consider non reimbursement an option. The penalty will be stiff.....
FraDonaghy	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 9:18 AM ...just watch your back in Dallas

GeneHilbert	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 9:27 AM LOL...... I walk like John Wayne, smell like Trigger and I love beans & rice. I'll be fine.
Distilled1	Date: July 8, 2008 @ 10:54 AM mmm beans and rice... that will go with the ribs tonight!
zedsalt	Date: July 9, 2008 @ 4:12 AM After hearing my father wax nostalgic about the old WPA, the ideas on how to reduce the welfare rolls interest me, but the brick wall everyone always seems to run into is how do you fund something like that? Getting enough people, sadly, might not be a problem. For every person actually receiving welfare, there are hundreds, if not thousands of people who have maxxed out their benefits. But the cost of feeding those people, say, rice and water and putting them in tents when/where weather permits, house trailers the rest of the time...we're talking about an awfully HUGE deficit that would have to be made up for somewhere. And when we were done building that deficit of billions (trillions?), the nation's former slave labor force would be even worse off financially than when they started. And that's assuming one could implement a 100% PURE form of Communism like that. Looking at what has happened/is happening in "real world" Communist countries, I don't think any of us could comfortably say, "Yeah, but if WE tried it, WE'D make it work!" Farming just isn't that labor-intensive anymore. The only exception I can think of is truck farm style fruit and vegetable picking, which...obviously...brings us to the issue of illegal immigration. As strongly as I believe that this country couldn't survive, let alone thrive, without it, I DO get REALLY tired of not being able to get these "jobs that Americans just won't do". It's hard to even find out about them. I have tried to get one of the dirty, dangerous, $3/hr., 60 hr/wk mold-making jobs nearby, but I'm pretty sure that my application was in the trash before I made it out to my car. And I had a job picking strawberries for a while for 15 cents/quart, no base pay. I was "let go", told it was the end of the season, but the harvest continued for several weeks. What sort of further regulation of the insurance industry would you propose? The idea of holding the insurance, pharm', and medical industries accountable appeals to me, but in actual implementation, the heavy regulation of the medical industry has yielded less than ideal results. Isn't auto insurance already mandatory? I realize, of course, that we're just playing around here, but for any US citizen, it's good exercise. We share a lot of ideals, Gene, but when it comes right down to it, these Socialist notions of yours are just too darn Liberal for me.
GeneHilbert	Date: July 9, 2008 @ 4:53 AM LOL.........
GTOriginal	Date: July 9, 2008 @ 9:26 AM Legalize weed and I will go to work in the Agriculture Field /\|\
GeneHilbert	Date: July 9, 2008 @ 10:06 AM Done..... Next........
K3VIN	Date: July 9, 2008 @ 2:13 PM would insurance go up for people who caused accidents?
GeneHilbert	Date: July 9, 2008 @ 3:32 PM Yes..... I think "Duh"...... best describes my initial response. However - I do concur with the recent eloquence of Jessie Jackson when he stated - "I wanna cut his nuts off".
zedsalt	Date: July 10, 2008 @ 3:21 AM I'm told that auto insurance mandates are considered a state issue. A federal law, including the ATP clause, wouldn't be a bad idea. And I don't know how many times I've advocated legalization here in the forums. Public health, economically, environmentally...legalization (or perhaps just decriminalization) is a great idea. I have to admit, the imaginary President Hilbert administration is much better than I would've guessed.
Tattoomom	Date: July 10, 2008 @ 2:36 PM What about the cost of incarceration?!
zedsalt	Date: July 11, 2008 @ 3:41 AM Who are we talking about incarcerating?
Distilled1	Date: July 11, 2008 @ 12:28 PM probably me!
Israfel	Date: July 11, 2008 @ 4:57 PM Can I be Secretary of the Treasury? I need the cash...
GeneHilbert	Date: July 11, 2008 @ 6:45 PM I have additional policy statements coming forthwith. However I am presently up to my ass in matters of a musical and personal nature. So patience being the better part of valor and having to keep special interest at arms length so as not to be corrupted...... I shall rush not. Speaking of which...... On 11th Jul 2008, Israfel said: Can I be Secretary of the Treasury? I need the cash... As far as qualifications - what do you think is your best ass-set....? Maybe could work something out in the end.......
Israfel	Date: July 12, 2008 @ 5:21 AM Hey! Isn't that the same question on the Presidential Intern form?
GeneHilbert	Date: July 12, 2008 @ 8:57 AM I tend to stick with what works..... I'm kinda old fashion that way..... If it ain't broke......
Tattoomom	Date: July 12, 2008 @ 9:25 AM But it IS broke Gene!! The whole system is BROKE! That's why I'm voting Gene Hilbert for President...it's about time we had a leader with some common freaking sense!
AgentMGD	Date: July 14, 2008 @ 11:32 AM hey, Gene, as president if you get rid of the Electoral College, i'll vote for ya
