MY PROPOSAL FOR HEALTH CARE REFORM

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 11:00:00 AM
Obamacare seems to have come to a screeching halt just before going over the cliff of no return. IF Republicans and Blue Dog Dems hold off Pelosi and Reid till after the August recess we have a great chance of eliminating the Government option, ie Government take over of our Health Care system.
Obama has been crying that there is a Health Care CRISIS in America that must be addressed NOW. This is a lie. America has the best Health care system in the world. What we have is a HEALTH CARE COST ptoblem. How do you fix a cost problem? By Increasing costs as the Dem Bill would do? Of course not! Everyone has an opinion on what reforms should look like so I may as well throw in my 2 cents worth. Here is what I believe should make up any Health Care reform package:
 
1 Tort reform. Law suits are a huge reason for the steady rise in costs. Patients must be protected from obvious mal practice, ie drunk of drug influenced Doctors, wrong surgery, out right neglect... surely a clear definition of mal practice can be agreed on. Suits that are frivolous, or because a Doctor gave an accepted treatment that did not work should not be allowed. People get sick, people die. Someone does not always have to pay. Life happens.
 
2 Allow individuals and Companies to  obtain coverage from any state in the country. This would immediately increase competition. Why should some one in NY pay more for equal coverage as someone in Georgia?
 
3 Create co-ops or regional groups of small business who could be pooled to combine their employees inorder to get Insurance equal to large corporations.
 
4 Insurance must be portable
 
5 Hospital costs soar because they must pay for illegals and others who have no health insurance. Why cannot the Governmant re-imberse Hospitals for all or most of these costs? This would surely be far less than the 1-2 TRILLION DOLLARS the Dems want to spend on a Governmant take over.
 
These are the main planks I want to see in any Health Care reform Bill. Lower COSTS NOT CARE! Sensible Health Care NOT Socialized Health Care!

OBAMA AND THE FWANKINIZATION OF AMERICA'S FOREIGN POLICY

Posted by Kevin Herrick on Thursday, July 09, 2009 8:00:00 AM
Barak Obama is off again on another overseas appeasment tour. While hell hole "countries" like No. Korea, Iran, Syria, etc do all they can to obtain nukes, Obama had the great idea this is a good time for the U.S and Western powers and the Russians to cut our nuclear stocks. His goal is to eliminate nukes all together.
 
Last month he wimped out in the face of millions of Iranians demonstrating for DEMOCRACY. He became the first President NOT to come out in support of those fighting for FREEDOM. He also came out on the side of Chavez and the Castro Boys in supporting the over thrown President of Honduras who tried to push through an illegitimate "election" ala Chavez to allow him to continue to hold power even though the Constitution gives him only one term.
 
Not since the loathesome and despicable Hamas lovin' Isreal hating Jimmy Carter has America had such a weak foreign policy. I asked myself WHY? Wuzup? Whatchu doin Barak? - and then it hit me! OF COURSE! it is quite obvious. Since taking office he has taken every oportunity to appologize for America's strength, America's success, America's LEADERSHIP, America's culture. Everything is Bush's fault or Regan's fault. They were cowboys who did not understand the fine art of appeasment - I mean, getting along with those who don't like us. IF WE were not so arrogant, so STRONG, so AMERICAN, why the world would just love us! dictators would suddenly sit down to negotiate! All we needed to do is get DOWN to THEIR level.
 
This new approach to foreign policy needed a model. Republicans model their foreign policy ideas on Reagan and McCain, and John Wayne. Who should be the model for the Democrat's new, wimped down foreign policy?  Who could best exemplify what the democrats stand for as far as Military and Foreign affairs? That person is none other than Bawney "Fwannie and Fweddy are Fwine" Fwank!! Thus began what I have coined the FWANKINIZATION of America's Foreign policy.
 
This was a stroke of genius on Obama's part. Whenever one wants to know what our policy is one only needs to look at Bawney. It is all there in one picture! Whereas Republicans hold up Reagan as a sign of their policies, Dems can now hold up pictures of Fwank and one immediately gets the idea! 
 
By FWANKINIZING America's Military and Foreign affairs Obama believes he can gain favor with the Ahdonetoldyas in Iran, Dictators in Syria, Cuba, Venezuela, and of course the Mad Hatter of the East, Kim Jung Mentally Ill. So far it ain't worked and will continue to not work. What he is telling the world is not that we are nice, but that we are WEAK. Peace with strength. Trust but varify- these are words that should describe our Foreign policy not the wimp -wisted words of the likes of Bawney Fwank. If Obama's Fwankinization of America succeeds we will fail as the Greatest Country the world has known. We will become an emasculated, dumbed down version of Europe.  We will no longer be America!
