But it appears that there is not anything the American Public can do about it.<br /><br />When the government and/or our Representatives do not heed our collective will and are not afraid of losing their jobs...then at that point the government is illegitimate.<br /><br />And must be corrected. But knowing exactly when and how is the question now before the American People.<br /><br />Everyone needs to think hard and not too long on those two questions.<br /><br />Papa RayPapa Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454201360366303944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-1043780202775155832010-05-12T11:18:13.395+01:002010-05-12T11:18:13.395+01:00Here is the thing, two wrongs don't make it ri...Here is the thing, two wrongs don't make it right. Supporters of the bill can't say that under the old system we had rationing and those who deserved no insurance such as foreign squatters or those who did not work and play by the rules were getting health care anyhow by back door forcing the rest of us to be denied our rights and having us pay indirectly and rationing , so therefore supporters of Obama care can screw it up even more in the name of good faith that a new plan or any plan is better even though we all know its more of the same and worse. If any thing needs to be fixed, it surly is not our constitutional rights, the right to purchase goods and services such as care and insurance under a free economic system, where people- individuals are allowed to choose what they work for and what they do with their own money, as opposed a dictator style government where people who don't work, people who make stupid choices or don't belong in the country, are given the fruits and labor of citizens or those who do work if it fits with the political engineering game plan for the party in power to stayed empowered by mob rule of the masses of people they wish to invite to the country from every undeserving providence on the planet to pillage the harvest of the american worker. Its never been about health care at all, because in the end we all die under any plan man can dream up. Its about who pays, how much we can earn and what we can do with the fruits of our own labor. Two wrongs don't make a right, if the old system was broken that's no excuse to fine citizens for not obeying a new plan, an inviting more non citizens into to an equally broken plan. Why wasn't the free market trade of insurance across state lines or tort reform put on the table to give both the individuals and drs more freedom instead of bonding everyone in chains like slaves to a dictator style government literally under the deception of improvement, where now we has humans will be taxed in every aspect of our lives including even just breathing? If that ain't wrong then I don't what is!staceynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-51107313828180091712010-05-12T10:00:39.138+01:002010-05-12T10:00:39.138+01:00Wow!

He is a physician that has run major facilities of medical nature in USAF, VA, and Private Sector, even putting in a stint working for a Pharm Co as director of R&D at one point. 45 years in the business.<br /><br />The Constitutional issue is ONE thing, the bit about RATIONING is separate. I don't reckon the "Constitutional scholar" ever ran a hospital or system of hospitals, either, nor dealt with the current Byzantine mazes of Medical Billing systems.<br /><br />There are functional problems in the pre-existing system and there are functional and Constitutional problems in the forthcoming nightmare that will make it worse as the Leviathan state grows to try to control more and more of the economy. Neither work well on paper OR in PRACTICE.<br /><br />Health care insurance had become steadily MORE BROKEN for the past 60 years, coincidentally, that was about when the government first really came into involvement in such things and has progressively gotten more and more involved in things related to health and health care.<br /><br />Casualty, Life, & Property are all reasonably good gambles for an Insurance Company and yes, the house usually wins, but if you gamble that you might need coverage that would be catastrophic for you to afford to pay out of pocket and it turns out to be so, then the insurance buyer wins. Actuarial work can make that workable as a business model. And profitable.<br /><br />When government started mandating HOW HEALTH INSURANCE would be run and mandated covering people at unrealistic low premiums, often self-destructive people at that, it breaks the ability of the insurance companies to sort out proper premiums.<br /><br />So we ended up with a system that isn't really "insurance" at all. It's a THIRD PARTY payer system where it's vaguely like buying an "extended warranty" on a consumer product or car but with free or subsidized maintenance as well(i.e. office visits and routine procedures) along with huge amounts of government regulation as to how one can proceed in business. That is NOT INSURANCE in a free market sense by any stretch of the imagination. It also prevents hospitals and physicians from operating as if they were in anything close to a free market.<br /><br />It's a government regulated third party health care payment system that might be compared to perhaps "mandated health care savings by individuals and employers for future possible health needs, sort of...". Then you throw in the free riders, unemployed, people that never had any savings or jobs, and illegals on top of that along with the government sponsored health benefits that already existed prior to 2010, along with the fact that it's more or less against the law for hospitals to refuse service even to indigent people, and it was nothing at all close to ANY REASONABLE IDEA OF INSURANCE as insurance is commonly understood to function before this recent further screwing of the pooch.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230665595988628546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-87814562749301060302010-05-12T05:27:56.138+01:002010-05-12T05:27:56.138+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230665595988628546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-7717163470968120822010-05-12T04:13:59.193+01:002010-05-12T04:13:59.193+01:00I am sure he has as many creds as a constitutional...I am sure he has as many creds as a constitutional law professor and attorney than our most recent nomination to the Supreme Court.

Colonel USAF M.D. with a Masters in Public Health, who ended his career as a Hospital administrator, kicked this back to me in the emails just now. Reckon he'd know better than I as he's been studying this issue pretty intensely for the past 20 years, ever since he got into Hospital Management as an additional duty besides practicing medicine:<br /><br />"While some of Connelly's points are technically correct, he's a bit off the mark when discussing rationing of care and other related issues. <br /><br />In the US, the market used to handle the rationing (can't afford it? don't get it!) of non-communicable disease care until private and public insurance got in the way. Now, bits of it are done by numerous entities.<br /><br />Unless we return to an era of personal responsibility for selecting health care choices and communal support for extraordinary expenses that benefit society as a whole (food and drug safety along with epidemic prevention), then the system will continue to unravel regardless of the payer mix."<br /><br />The Health Care Bill was wrong but what we had before was broken, just not UNCONSTITUTIONALLY broken. Returning to individual responsibility is what is needed but then you couldn't be making citizens into serfs so nearly as easily, could you. And the government gobbles up more of our choices and freedoms...tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230665595988628546noreply@blogger.com
