Coverage v. Care

The debate over the “health care crisis” is amazing. What is even more amazing is stacking the plain meaning of the words up and seeing what you have.

 

We have heard the constant drumbeat of "every industrialized country other than the US has universal health insurance coverage." If you go to the various countries' news agencies, you learn that, while they have universal coverage, the care is being rationed. While you are covered under the government’s insurance program, you can’t simply schedule an appointment for later this week for an MRI. Instead, the government’s system stacks all of the MRI requests and decides (we still don’t know how) which requests to grant and how to order the others.

 

Here in U.S., we do not have mandated coverage, but we do have mandated care. You aren’t feeling well? Well, you walk yourself into any hospital in the U.S. and get treated regardless of having medical coverage. This mandated care is required by law.

 

So citizens of the U.S., do you want to pay more for required coverage despite the fact that your care will be rationed (i.e. might never be received), or would you rather continue paying for required care?

 

I'll take the required care.

 

Are there issues with our current system? Yes, and someone really interested in solving the issues would list the issues, create alternatives solutions for the issues, evaluate these alternatives, and choose the solutions you feel solve the problems.

 
Do you see Congress or the President doing this? No, because they're not interested in solving the problems, only centralizing power.

Obama's SCOTUS Nomination

What should the Republicans do about Obama's nomination of Sotomayor? Sit idly by as the world passes them by and pushes them further into political extinction? Or, should they point out the obvious flaws in the judicial temporment of Sotomayor?
 
Personally, for me to continue with the party, they had better grow a spine...quickly. Currently, my party is nothing more the Democrat lite which means we have no real political power or capabilities.
 
Facts that can be derived from Sotomayor's own words:
  • She's a bigot (one who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ)
  • She's a racist (a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others).
  • She's a sexist (a person with sexist attitudes or behavior).
  • She does not believe in the Constitution of the U.S.
  • She believes that policies should be made by courts.
While none of the above disqualify her from being nominated, or even confirmed, to the SCOTUS, it should provide ammunition to the opposition so the confirmation hearing allows the citizens to understand what is at stake with such a nomination and confirmation.
A real opposition party takes stands. We will quickly find out whether there is a real opposition party. If there isn't, it might be time to take over the Democratic party and beat these liberal facists back within their own camp.
I'm ready for the fight. Are you?
