In this book, your author suggests that no lunch should be free. When the needy have eaten and are full, and they are recovered, they can pay back the cost of the lunch, and they should. Somebody paid for it. Welfare and free healthcare should not be viewed as a gift but instead a lifetime loan that can be paid back when the needy are no longer helpless. If there is no recovery, there need be no payback. That's the American way. President Bush and President Obama both agreed that a database of health records needed to be established on behalf of the people. It is a good idea. There needs to be a record of each citizen in the United States so that it will be much easier to get a full picture of a patient in any medical provider setting from doctor's offices, laboratories, imaging, and other specialties. Dollars owed by all can also be kept in the database. Most Americans are aware of the major battle on health insurance and healthcare "reform" as in Obamacare. After seven years, it continues in the Halls of Congress. A Democratic Congress and the former POTUS decided by themselves to spend a trillion dollars on a government take-over of healthcare in 2010. They knew it would possibly improve the lives of just 17% of the people and seven years later the number has not been achieved as just 10 million in total are signed up. Obamacare usage is so insignificant, it should be on nobody's agenda. When the bill passed, Congress willfully disrupted the lives of the other 83% of Americans by providing them with less healthcare, less medical provider choices, huge deductibles, and more taxes. You cannot take $700 billion from Medicare for Obamacare and make Medicare better. It is insane. Perhaps Senior Citizens will have to find employment again to buy back what was stolen by government without their permission? Obamacare's big users get big welfare subsidies to afford it or nobody would be enrolled. The big winners of course are trial lawyers and the big insurance companies while the people have been left holding the bag, healthcare has become the biggest welfare expense. In this book, we introduce the notion that all welfare should be paid back. We show both sides of the welfare story and offer some unique thoughts about how welfare can become an item that is paid back when people are doing well. There is no free lunch and this book shows the technology solutions that can help the US help you avoid having to pick up the tab. We enjoy describing how to account for any freeloader who takes from the system. What happens today if somebody on welfare for 50 years wins a couple hundred million on the Powerball? You bet, we solve that problem. It's in here.
