What The New York Times Censors

For a few years, I have found the New York Times censors my post in response to an article. I use no foul language and stay on subject so I am posting my censored writings here.

The following was submitted on April 1, 2010 responding to Gail Collins "Mitt Romney, Liberal Icon."

RomneyCare and HawaiiCare were two lessons that ObamaCare fails to learn from because each is trying to insure risk in a system that underpays excellence and rewards failure perverting free market principles. First, HawaiiCare was given birth by a special exemption the US Congress approved decades ago and in 1993, HillaryCare herald its achievement of 98% coverage. Unfortunately, the burden of rapid premium inflation on Hawaii businesses destroyed the business climate (ranked 48th) and today only 90-93% are insured. This same rapid increase (7-13%) is Massachusett's present experience even though, like ObamaCare, citizens were promised 25-45% drop in premium costs. Why? Actually, Obama's economic council in a June 2009 report stumbled on the core problem of an inefficient, quality challenged health care delivery system when it stated Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for quality or value, but do pay for poor quality. In other words, these two public options for decades have underpaid excellence and used the saving to underpay failure.

These perverted incentives have neutralized free market principles in the delivery system. Since these public options have the power of government, government allows costs it does not want to pay to be shifted to its competition, private insurers. These unwanted costs are added to private insure premiums allowing the left to declare that Medicare is more efficient than private insurers ignoring that again government's perverse incentives have neutralized free market principles in health insurance.

Today's automobiles are 40% cheaper than forty years ago adjusted for inflation even with all the high tech and safety feature. Why? Free markets and not until this nation's government understands how free market principles inspire individuals to pursue excellence when paid for excellence and eliminate failure when penalized for failure, will we have the most efficient delivery of quality, universal, integrated care. Meanwhile, ObamaCare in its present design and goals will bring economic Armageddon. Maybe not today, but like bankruptcy it starts slow and then a rapid ending.
