HOW WILL THIS PLAN WORK?
UNITED STATES POST OFFICE • Before we look at how this plan will work, let’s look at the United States Post Office and • How it operates
ORGANIZATION • Since its reorganization into an independent organization, the USPS has become self sufficient and HAS NOT RECEIVED TAX-PAYER DOLLARS since the early 1980’s. • The decline of mail volume due to increased use of e-mail has forced the postal service to look to other sources of revenue while cutting costs to maintain this financial balance.
PIECES DELIVERED AND DELIVERY POINTS In 2006 it was reported that EACH DAY, the United States Postal Service delivers SOME 660 MILLION PIECES of mail to as many as 142 MILLION DELIVERY POINTS
DELIVER TO EVERYONE IN US The POST OFFICE MUST DELIVER To everyone in the US Unlike UPS and FEDEX, who can decide what delivery will be profitable, THE POST OFFICE HAS NO CHOICE
EMPLOYEES • The USPS is the second largest civilian employer in the United States (after Wal-Mart). • Employing 656,000 workers.
It is operated as though it were a private corporation • It has a Board of Governors (like a Board of Directors of a Private Corp) • Nine of the members are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
The nine appointed members then select the United States Postmaster General, • Who serves as the tenth member of the Board, and • Oversees the day to day activities of the service as Chief Executive Officer
QUASI-GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY It is a quasi-government agency that is wholly owned by the government and controlled by the Presidential appointees and the Post Master General IT OPERATES AS THOUGH IT WERE A PRIVATE CORPORATION, WITH NO INPUT FROM OTHERS
COMPARISONS 1932 TO 2010 2010 is Times 1932 2010 Larger Population 124,870,471 308,280.000 2.5 Federal Spending $4.7 Bill $3,552 Bill 755.7* Unemployment 24.1% 10.0% 0.4 Consumer Price Index 13.7 214.5 15.7 First-Class Stamp $0.03 $0.44 14.7
A FEDERAL AGENCY OPERATING AS A PRIVATE CORPORATION • We have just seen that a Federal Agency operating as though it were a Private Corporation • With out any direction from Congress • Is a LOT BETTER that the Federal Government operated by CONGRESS
DEFAULT • The Post Office is in BIG TROUBLE AND NEEDS THE HELP OF CONGRESS TO LET THEM MOVE TO A FIVE-DAY DELIVERY OR ANY OTHER DELIVERY SCHEDULE THE USPS DEEMS NECESSARY AND TO REVERSE THE REQUIREMENT THAT THE USPS MAKE PAYMENTS OF $5 BILLION DOLLARS TO THE US TREASURY FOR FUTURE RETIREE HEALTH BENEFITS WHICH NO OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY MUST MAKE
NOW, LET’S LOOK AT HOW NATIONAL HEATH CARE WOULD OPERATE
FIRST • Because one never knows what future CONGRESSES WILL DO, THE NHCSHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO CONGRESS AFTER THE NHC BILL HAS BEEN PASSED – IN THE FUTURE CONGESS SHALL PASS ANY BILL THAT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ASKS CONGRESS TO PASS AND THE PRESIDENT SHALL SIGN
THIS PLAN – THE BENEFITS ARE LARGE THE SIZE OF THE PLAN IS SMALL
SALARIES • THE SALARIES SHALL BE: • CHAIRMAN/CEO…75% OF THE President of the United States' salary (75% of $400,000 = $300,000) • Board Members…$10,000 per month for serving plus transportation, lodging and food when meetings are a way from where the live

THIS IS NOT SOCIALIZED MEDICINE • Socialized Medicine is a system in which doctors and hospitals work for and draw salaries from the government. • Doctors in the Veterans Administration and the Armed Services are paid this way. • PHYSICIANS FOR A NATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAM ..Quote
THIS IS NOT SOCIALISM • I view this as my Christian duty • Jesus said, • For I was hungry and you gave me food • I was thirsty and you gave me drink • I was sick and you visited me
JESUS SAID • Whatever you neglected to do unto one of the least of these • You neglected to do • unto me
