It's been a while! I spent last month in Guatemala. For me, full time school means full time work. It's rough, but life could always be worse as Hussein Obama and Nancy Pelosi continue to prove.
I just had the opportunity to view the Arlen Spector town hall meeting in Lebannon PA. Here are a few problems I had with it. Arlen Spector is the biggest turncoat in politics right now. He had the nerve to go and lecture a town hall filled with the people who elected him as a Conservative. Shortly after the White House changed parties, so did he. I don't have a problem with someone changing their political viewpoint. Indeed, I hope that the majority of my generation will. What I have a problem with is the fair-weather politics. If he ran as a Republican, he needs to do what he was elected to do until the end of his elected term. THEN if he chooses, run as a democrat. And represent those constituants. What scares me is that politicians are being elected to do one thing, then turning around and doing whatever they want to do. Politicians are elected to do what WE tell them to do. Not what politicians want to do. Unbelievable.
Secondly, I recently had a debate with an old sergeant in the Army. He wants socialized medicine (despite his oath to support and defend the Constitution) and repeated the phrase that there are "Haves" and "Have Nots." He argued that I was one of the "Haves" and that I was responsible for the "Have Nots." My reply: I am not a "Have." I am a producer. I earn. I did not simply "have" my life. It did not appear magically. I sold my soul for the next few years to the military so that I could support my family, so that I could provide them with health care. There are not "Haves" and "Have Nots." There are THOSE WHO EARN and THOSE WHO TAKE. We do have a responsibility to the handicapped. We do not have a responsibility to the lazy.
Third, I just want to mention an observation. When you view the opposing sides of the attendees at Barak Hussein Obama's health care meeting going on in New Hampshire today, which side of the street is waving American Flags? That's all you need to know.

I don't know who you are but I haven't seen anyone say it better. God Bless America!
One of the two bigger problems in health care right now that need to change "WITHOUT" the governments so called help, is it is based on a one year contract if you will. I sign on and if you have, lets say a hart attack, then the next year your contract is looked at your premium gos up. Not fare! we are investing in a system because of that exact reason. We dont know whats going to happen tomorrow. The contract when it is signed should be locked for an agreed upon period of time where it prices and costs are locked and cant be changed because something happened. That we don't really have control over.
Secondly, the Insurance company's have way too much control over pricing of medications and treatments. At the end of every year every doctors, dentist, chiropractor, and optometrist get a new book with medication and treatment costs that dictate how things will be priced. This is a power that they should not have. For example, the auto insurance company's don't have control over the pricing of cars! (unfortunately the Unions do with labor wage control, but how they are destroying america is a hole other problem.)

Insurance companies don't choose the price of a proceedure, just how much they'll pay to cover each particular proceedure. Then, it's left to the patient to cover the rest.
The problem lies in the high costs of new health care because the proceedures and medications we have today are so advanced that they must cost a lot. Any cutting edge thing will be costly. Later, the prices of new things come down. With medicine, we're always making something new and better so the cost doesn't fall.
Instead of looking to run health care, the gov't should try to find ways to lower the cost of health care such as tort reform, patent law, etc. You know, the rest of the world gets a free ride on the price of medications because Americans pay the high costs for new drug development.
