You MUST be kidding…
Well, it would seem that the Obama administration is pushing hard towards instuting a government-run healthcare system. I’m sure that many of you understand exactly how abyssmal an idea that really is, but let me make it even worse. According to this article from CNS News.com they aren’t sure which countries they really mean when they say that it “works pretty well”. Um, what?
Robert Gibbs would starve as a salesman. If you’re going to sell me a product and tout references for it’s great features and functionality, you had better have a specific list of people that I can call to find out if that’s true. If somebody told you that their vacuum cleaner was voted “the best on the market”, my first question is: “By whom?”
Well, in this case, the idiot sales person says: “Um, I don’t know.” Hmmm… so whether it be the vaccuum or Government-run heathcare, they’ll both suck, we just don’t know how much.
I can tell you, I lived in Britain and had the unfortunate experience of visiting a hospital over there. The place looked like it hadn’t been updated since the 70’s. Ask yourself why people in Canada come to the US when they need immediate medical care for what could be a terminal illness. How well is a government bureaucracy going to run a system that is responsible for our very survival? I don’t want my heart surgery waiting in somebody’s inbox over the weekend or getting “stuck in the system” because the “new guy” in the Health Services Administration Office mis-coded it. If you’ve ever been to a DMV, you know how government healthcare will work and with whom you will be dealing in that office. I have never met anyone in any federal government office or institution that I would consider “above average” in the intelligence arena. All I’m sayin’ is you had better schedule your heart attack for mid morning on a Monday or Tuesday… any earlier and your “approval for services” will be in “weekend voicemail hell”, any later and you’ll be in the end of the week catch-up period. Oh, by the way, government office-types don’t do overtime. They leave at 5 every day. I know, I ‘ve unfortunately been one and watched it happen.
Wake up and start screaming about this now. When it’s already happened, it’s waaaay too late.
