Rantings of an Okie

Today is the oft touted healthcare summit between the Dems and the GOP, never mind that the President pre-empted the summit with the release of his own bill, or should we say outline of a bill, and had threatened the GOP with using Reconciliation, or what the Dems called the Nuclear option not so long ago when they didn’t like the idea of having a bill shoved down their throats. This was on Monday. Today he is claiming to want both sides to work this out. This is humorous since the President has had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate and a bill passing majority in the House as well. This could all be done without a since member of the GOP supporting it. As we all know though, the problem is the partisanship in Washington, it just seems to be partisan’s within the Democratic Party. Seems the war is between traditional Democrats and Progressives, and cancerous evil upon the political system.

So imagine my surprise when we get this glowing report on what is called an "elite" NHS hospital in the UK. Were the patients of Mid-Statfordshire NHS Trust hospital singing and dancing up and down the hallways? Where they singing the praises of how "Free Healthcare" was working so well? Were they praising how clean Mid-Staffordshire was, like Biden did for the President? Sorry, I know that is what you were hoping for. Instead they were dying. Another fine example of the levels of care you get when the government.

That must just be in UK though. Canada has great healthcare, right? Don’t get your hopes up. They are now using a lottery system to see if you get a primary care physician in Norwood, Ontario.

Yes, our healthcare system has issues, but government is not the solution, government will make the finest healthcare system in the world even worse. Furthermore, the Constitution doesn’t allow for Federal control of healthcare, nor does the Government have the money to pay for it all. ObamaCare is a bad pill to swallow.
