Taxpayers will be paying higher taxes and increased insurance premiums to cover the costs of a government run, and staffed, comprehensive, full-service health care system in schools. Rather than enact legislation that would lower taxes and insurance premiums, thus making it easier for America s families, and seniors, to afford medical care, the government s answer is to force Americans into paying increased taxes and premiums thus forcing more and more of them to rely on the government to provide these services. This is nothing more than Hillary Clinton s original and failed health plan now being implemented in schools across the country. They have a captive audience. This, of course, is just the beginning.
Initial costs pale in relation to ongoing operational expenses.
And remember, the parent is NOT considered a necessity in this process. There are already ample procedures and agencies in place to aid children and parents whether the problem be mental or physical. Expanding school-based health centers and their services are totally unnecessary. The cost is prohibitive and the potential for abuse far outweighs any imagined benefits. Increasing government intrusion into the private lives of families is something that should be taken very seriously.
