Sorry I'm late with this week's blog (even more sorry no one noticed I was late) but I've been scouring the Midwest looking for bodies.  I know that sounds morbid, but with the left screaming about how people are dying in the streets because we're the only civilized country without government supplied health care, I thought I'd go looking for some of these bodies.

The Left IS right, we are the only civilized country that doesn't have socialized medicine.  We're also the only country that whose who have the means chose to come to have life saving procedures performed.  That's because the health care in this country is the best, bar none.  (When was the last time you heard of someone flying to Canada to have life saving surgery?) 

"I lived in England for 3 years", said Red Eye's Greg Gutfeld, "and people don't die in the streets there, they die in the hospitals."

What needs reforming is health care insurance, but the government is throwing out the baby with the bath water.  They're attempting to revamp the entire medical industry.  Let's face it, medicine is an art as much as it is a science; diagnoses don't always come easily.  But, under this plan, if your doctor reaches his spending ceiling, he won't be reimbursed.  The reality is that doctors are not only healers, they are small business owners.  They have overhead;, the cost of the building and the utilities where they practice, nurses, medical assistants, book keepers receptionists and insurance.

That's right, doctors need to have insurance, the most costly of which is: malpractice insurance.  And the primary reason malpractice insurance is so high: litigation.  Any attempt of reform that does not deal with tort reform is ludicrous and doomed from the start.  And no bill currently being discussed by the fools on the hill even mention tort reform. (Trial lawyers are the single biggest contributors to the Democrat Party).  There are only two trades that the members don't have to perfect, medicine and law.  They get to "practice".  But whom do you trust more, your doctor or your lawyer?

This plan doesn't go into effect until 2014.  That's not entirely true, we get to start paying for it next year.  That's like going to an auto dealership, picking out a car, paying for it, but not get to drive it for 4 years.  But in the meantime you still pay for the car you're currently driving.  Who in their right mind would do that?

Then there's the "fines".  Under Obamacare, if you chose not to procure insurance, you shall (the word shall appears over 3,000 times) be fined (taxed).  If you have excellent insurance, you shall be fined (taxed).  So I guess this administration concedes that their plan is better than nothing, but doesn't even strive to be excellent! And actually penalizes excellence.  Why am I the only one who seems to be outraged by this?

Well, I didn't find any dead bodies on any streets, I did find (too) many who support government controlled health care.  When I asked them where the money was going to come from to pay for medical services, their answer was "The government".  Herein lies the problem.  Too many people forget that the government's money started out as their money. 

Your thoughts?
