Obama Rhetoric
In a recent article at the Hudson institute and from the American Spectator, we once again see how Obama and the Liberals continually exaggerate and use inflammatory rhetoric to promote their radical healthcare agenda.
In his weekly radio address June 6, the President claimed "skyrocketing costs" were making it impossible for families to afford health care. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius was right on message, warning a women’s group about the same "skyrocketing costs." Senators Edward Kennedy and Max Baucus, chairmen of two committees drafting proposals, warned that soaring health spending threatens the stability of American families and the economy.
The rest of the article Hudson Institute > Downgrading American Medical Care describes how this radical agenda will downgrade the wonderful healthcare we currently enjoy.
There are problems with the delivery of healthcare and it can be improved, but Obamacare is not the answer or the reasonable approach we should be taking!

These doomsday scenarios are untrue. Health care spending is increasing at more moderate rates than in previous decades. Spending increased 10.5 percent in 1970, 13 percent in 1980, and consistently less than 7 percent in each of the last five years, reaching a low of 6.1 percent a year ago (see chart 1).

HB,
You are so right. Government involvement reduces quality and raises costs. Just witness the current government debacle of trying to distribute H1N1 flu vaccine. Even though you will never hear this from the mainstream media, the H1N1 flu emergency far surpasses the Katrina tragedy in government ineptness.
I have heard that some communities are giving priority to people without health insurance in the early access to the vaccination for HINI. Political choices over medical reasoning? If you have insurance you can afford to get sick and take your chances?
H.B., have you heard this? It is a little off topic except it may illustrate what may come.
Anon,
This is complete news to me.
Yes, we did all ready get injections and mist at our indigent clinic, but that was strictly for "front line staff".
As far as I have heard, we are still looking at the middle of November or the Third week in November for general population vaccination.
(which seems a little crazy to me given the number of H1N1 cases locally and regionally)
I have a nephew who is the production manager at a company that molds foam packaging. They have a contract to supply packaging for the H1N1 vaccine. So far, they have made very few shipments of packaging. This is another sign of trouble with Big Government trying to distribute the H1N1 vaccine. Many big promises, but no fulfillment of said promises. Anyone surprised?
