I find it interesting the President Hussein and the Liberal Gang are on the offensive about Nationalized/Socialized Healthcare and the only reasons cited are to cover everyone and to drive down costs. Questions I'd like to see asked?


Obama wants to drive down cost by reducing or eliminating expense test and procedures ordered by doctors. The question that should be asked is Why aren't we trying to lower healthcare costs by Tort reform and limits on lawsuit awards for malpractice based on severity of the injury. If this were in place the number of tests and procedures would drop because there would be less worry about malpractice suits if a doctor did not run every test possible based on patient symptoms.


Obama wants to cover everyone, not a terrible idea but the question needs to be asked; How many people die from illness, as a direct result of not having insurance and how many people are refused treatment due to being uninsured? Is this goal going to change things for millions or only a small fraction?

There are lots of questions I want to know.

1. How much is it going to cost? (within $10 million dollars, considering how they screwed up the cost estimates of the Medicare drug benefit.)

2. How are we going to pay for it? (considering your predictions for how much money will be taken in as a results of taxes are at least 30% off)

IF Obama-care is such a good thing he should answer the many critical questions in a T.V. address like Reagan used to do and this SHOULD BE A SLAM DUNK.

Maybe the BIGGEST question to ask is why won't he answer the top 10 critical questions in a television address and let the public tell their representatives how they feel. One qualifier the Republicans would get equal rebuttal time to answer the same questions.

I am wondering how a Doctor would even consider himself Ethical if he did not exhaust ALL TEST to find the exact reason for a persons illness ....

And an Enforced Government System that commands Doctors to NOT run all Needed Test and some Fringe Test that may help discover an illness that is hidden, would be Criminal at Best.

Don't Water-Board a Murdering Terrorist, but withhold Medical Test and Treatments that would either Greatly Reduce or Completely Stop a Human Beings Tortuous Suffering from an Illness.

I mean this idiocy is unnerving and its reasoning escapes me totally. (well no it doesn't escape me, but thinking the alternative is heinously gruesome)

Abort a Human Being that is in the Womb for 8.5 Months (1/2 Month until Birth), and this is a really Cool Medical Procedure that is funded by the Federal Government to the easy tune of over $9 Billion Dollars a YEAR.

But damn you Doctor if you try to Treat that 65 Year Old Human Being and give him back his dignity and quality of life.

Life has become cheap at all ends of the Spectrum just like the Scholars said it would way back when .....

Get rid of all but the Strong and Most Healthy - - - after all, we are just a bunch of "Evolved Apes" and since we are nothing more than that, we are just another nasty animal that Charles Darwin and Mother Nature knows best when to give up on using "Natural Selection".

Sounds all nice and cozy doesn't it ???
