OBAMACARE

Once again, my friends, Danielle and I are having to deal with the medical system, because her mom is having a cancer related episode, and had to be put in the hospital. 'Seems like we've been doing this forever, starting with her grandparents, and then my parents, and now her mom. It's exhausting, as those of you in your 40s and 50s are starting to find-out. What strikes me most about our health care system, such as it is, is just how incompetent, lazy, stupid and disorganized these people are, and how much we pay them to do such a bad job. Sure, there are well educated and skilled "experts", capable of amazing things, but once you're in the system, you quickly realize, it's not a "system" at all. Insurance providers can't communicate with each other. Doctors don't communicate with each other, or their staffs, or hospital staffs, or the patients, or the patients families. Medical staff, if they speak English, don't know anything, and can't make decisions, so most patients would probably be better served in a luxury hotel, where they could, at least, order and receive a hot meal. Nobody knows all the things a patient is being treated for, or whom their being treated by, or what medications they are taking, or those they shouldn't be taking, or anything else about the patient, and they can't, or won't, communicate with friends/family enough to FIND OUT anything important about the patient's situation. It's a nightmare! Obviously, an idiot could come up with better methods of taking care of our health, and saving scads of money by making it better, and faster, and less brutalizing, but the one thing I am absolutely sure of is, that that IDIOT shouldn't be the government, because those are idiots who have proven, over and over, for decades, that they are absolutely incapable of making any bad situation better, and/or doing it in a way that doesn't lead to absolute economic disaster. Then, we'd take a flawed system, and let people who have no incentive to do anything but put in their 20 years, doing the least amount possible, or who are interested in benefiting from the corruption that their authority naturally offers-up. So, to Mr. Obama, and his co-conspirators in Congress, I say, "Thanks, but no thanks!" You guys make our lives miserable enough as it is. We don't need you making an already bad situation worse, and robbing us of more of our money, and freedom, while doing it.

HEALTH CARE REFORM

If Medicare and Social Security can't be paid for, and will soon go bankrupt, why would anyone in their right mind give the green light for our federal government to create a new entitlement program/agency/bureaucracy/economic black hole? If we can't afford the amount of government we already have, how would creating an even bigger government work? If they can't perform the tasks they already charge us to, "on our behalf", what would make any sane person believe that they will do "health care" right, or on a budget? I know that the American people have been dumbed-down in school systems that have been run by that same inept government, but are we really so stupid to believe these people AGAIN??? They can't educate our kids, or give us good transportation systems, or protect our borders, or take care of our old people, or deliver the mail, or manage our economy, or protect us from criminals, etc., etc., etc. Government is what's wrong with America, not what's going to fix it! If you want to make this a better place to live, with more promise, and a higher standard of living, vote out the people who are pushing for more of the cancer that's killing us! It's that simple! California has been taken down the toilet by Democrats, and faux Republican governors. Do all Americans want to join us in the Third World? Reject Obama and the liberals in Congress, and take back your freedom. No more Democrats, and no more RINOS. Vote conservative, Independent or Libertarian, but no more of the DNC/American Communist Party.

WHAT PART OF "WE CAN'T AFFORD ALL THESE PLANS" DON'T DEMOCRATS UNDERSTAND?

Let me ask everyone something. If I told you, you don't have enough money to buy a new car, and that you can't even pay for the car you already drive, or afford to make your house payment, or pay your utility bills, what would make you think it's a good idea to go out and buy a new Rolls Royce? Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, to name just some govt. programs, don't balance. We aren't paying for them. You know, they put Bernie Madoff in prison for running a Ponzi scheme? Now, before we fix any of those MONUMENTAL problems, the Democrats are trying to create a new one! Do you think that's smart? If we can't afford the ones we already have? How will that work? Money and numbers don't behave differently, just because the numbers of zeros we're talking about start multiplying, and if we'll go broke under our existing entitlement programs within a few years, adding another entitlement program will only hasten our demise. THAT is the truth. No matter what Obama or Pelosi say, politicians lie, numbers can't. The ONLY thing that they will accomplish, by creating a government run health insurance scheme is, to put millions of Americans into ANOTHER substandard health program, destroy a large portion of our economy, cost us millions of jobs, AND put a lot of money into the hands of their political supporters, just like they did with the Financial Bailout, and the Auto Bailout, and all these "Czars", and the resulting bureaucracies. Write your "representative", and ask them why they aren't volunteering to join such a system, in a short term test program, to see how it works, before they try and put the taxpayers into such a program, and bury the entire nation in more debt. Don't you test medicine, or products, before you commit to their manufacture and sale? Obama and the Democrats think you are stupid. Don't prove them correct. Let all of them know, that if they support these huge programs, you'll vote them out of THEIR job, starting next year. Spreading poverty to all Americans is NOT equality.

Obama's National Health Plan

So, let me ask all you a question. When you have to deal with a government agency, do you feel like the people there are your "servants"? Are you in charge? Are they to do your bidding? How would you rate the value you are receiving? If you got "bad service", do you call for a manager and raise hell until they make things right? If they injure you, can you find an attorney, and get compensated for that injury? Is the "customer always right" part of their institutional culture?
Now, apply your answers to how you want your health care handled. Are the American people stupid, or suicidal?
