Obama’s Solution: More Government

Biggest Fraud on the American People

Government Run Health Care will only create Bad Solutions

Last Friday’s headlines from Canada reports a sad story of parents having to send their baby to a US hospital for emergency care.  The parents could not get passports to visit their child in the US hospital.

A critically-ill premature-born baby from Hamilton is all alone in a Buffalo, N.Y., hospital after she was turned away for treatment at local facility and transferred across the border without her parents, who don’t have passports.

The larger question is why the baby could not get quality care from Canada’s state run health care system.  The reason is that Canada could not handle the demand for neo-natal care because of it’s government single payer system.  Here in the US, any child regardless of having insurance or not, would have been admitted into any emergency room and would receive the best quality care.  That would also be true for any person, insured or not, citizen or not, would receive the same quality care when admitted into any US emergency hospital room.

So, why wasn’t there a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit bed available in the entire nation of Canada?  Reason: The Canadian government will not pay for it.  The government run Canada Care cannot handle the supply and demand of its citizens health care needs.  The Canadian governments single payer system exists to ration health care as a cost savings effort.  So Canada had to outsource this child’s medical needs to the US because Canada’s system had no available bed for this child.  What will happen when the US enacts a single payer health care insurance system that will cost trillions of dollars and push us into the same kind of rationed health care system that Canada has?  If Canada has to outsource its patients off to the US,  where will we outsource our patients?

The ABC News Infomercial, “Prescription for America“, was nothing more than a chance for the Obama to give long-winded vague answers to already predefined questions.  The program was defined as looking for solutions for a broken health care system.  But is our health care system broken?  When the pre-screened hand-picked audience was asked about the current state of health care in America, they all agreed it needed to be changed.  Just to give you and idea of how much time was spent by the Obama trying to answer questions, look at this chart:

Out of the 75 minutes the network dedicated over the two programs (commercials excluded), the president managed to take 60 percent of that time: 45 minutes to give 19 vague responses – not exactly the “dialogue” advertised by ABC:

To give you another perspective on how one sided the whole ABC infomercial was, not one Republican critic was allowed to ask a question.  Not one critic of the plan.  Where is the fairness?  Where is the transparency?  Where is the promise of a new tone of civility in  government?  There was none and the State Run Media further proves my point.  Take the last part of the ABC infomercial where Aetna’s Insurance president Ron Williams said the Obama’s plan is like introducing a new competitor that has rulemaking ability that only the government will have.

Not to be undone by that slanderous remark to the Obama, Diane Sawyer decided to focus on the Aetna executive as being the bad guy:

“If I could, I’m going to bring in Ron Williams from Aetna, CEO of Aetna, and if I can reverse the order a little bit Mr. President, I’d like to ask a question of him and then let you comment on his answer,” Sawyer said. “Mr. Williams, Aetna, to take one, an insurance company. We hear people all over the country people see their premiums going up 119 percent in the last several years. They see the profits of the insurance companies, the billions and billions of dollars, even in a lean year. They see profits in the billions of dollars. Is the President right – that you need to be kept honest?”

OK, the assumption by that line of questioning is that the insurance companies are dishonest.  That they are only after profit and they are unconcerned by the public’s need for affordable health care.  Are we to also assume that the government is as clean as the wind driven snow also?  That the state run media will report the news fairly and balanced?  Of course, anything that can be corrupted, will be corrupted.  Right now, there are more members of the Congress under investigation than insurance companies.  This whole ABC infomercial is nothing more than a sham, a television farce that promotes the Obama agenda of driving this country into a socialist welfare state.

Should be OBC, the Obama Broadcast Corporation, but Obama hates Corporations

Let us consider the role of  insurances companies.  Yes, insurance companies have refused to insure people with preconditions.  This is unfair and it should be stopped.  Insurance companies are inherently in the Risk business and therefore should not be allowed to either refuse or over-charge for insurance coverage.  Coverage costs should be rewarded  and reduced when a consumer takes steps to live a healthy life.  If however, a customer engages in risky behavior (i.e. smoking, alcoholism, drug usage) , then that should be priced accordingly, or at least provide coverage that accounts for that person’s risky behavior.  I am not saying that risky behavior needs to be regulated.  What I am saying is that behavior is the responsibility of the individual.  Insurance companies should promote education for healthy lifestyles and encourage a schedule of cost savings per individual habits, needs, affordability and willingness to pay the  premiums.  That is the individuals responsibility, and this is neither the insurance companies responsibility nor the governments responsibility to regulate the individuals activity.  Live your life as you want.  Live with your decisions on how you care for yourself, your children, your health, your lifestyle.  Your decisions.  That’s freedom.

Let’s consider the role of doctors.  There needs to be tort reform. The capping of out of control lawsuits that are driving the price of health care through the roof.  Right now, many doctors either over-prescribe or run a battery of tests to insure they are covering all bases in case the patient should sue for lack of treatment or diagnoses.   Doctors also need to practice reform among themselves.  When a physician is a bad practitioner, then physicians need to remove that person from accreditation.  When a physician looses their license to practice in any state, then they should not be granted a license to practice in another state.  Just like the quack doctor that used a screwdriver to mend a persons spine here in Hawai’i.  That same doctor lost his license in other states before moving here and finally killed his patient.  You cannot get a drivers license in another state if you have lost your license in another state.  The same should be true for medical licenses.

Let’s consider the role of government.  It is not the governments role to provide insurance of any kind.  Neither is it the government role to bail out insurance companies when they make bad business decisions.  Emphasis AIG.  It is neither in the Constitution nor is it in the Bill of Rights that government should provide health care for its citizens other than the defense of the republic.  The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people [Tenth Amendment].   Meaning if the individual states want to mandate health care, then it is that state’s prerogative to do so.  Let the people in that state pay for their own health care.

It has been tried before, and it did not work.  Hawai’i tried to enact a Universal Health Care system, but had to drop it after seven months because people that could afford their own children’s health care costs opted to drop their private care for the state care program.  It was a complete disaster.  The state could not afford  the costs and by law Hawai’i has to have a balanced budget.

That’s not the case for the Federal government.  The Federal government does not have to balance its budget like the states do by law.  The Federal government does not have to worry about competing  against private companies because the Federal government is not profit driven like private companies are.  The Federal government can change the rules anytime it wants. The Federal government will just raise taxes to pay for the cost of insuring health care.  As the cost of health care rises, the government will have to raise taxes to pay for the costs.  As the costs get higher and the people complain about the high costs, and the government will be forced to ration health care in order to pay for it.  Resulting in a Canada like health Care system.  Where will we outsource our health care?

Do you really want some pencil neck Washington bureaucrat to decide your health care decisions?

That’s what you are doing if you let the Obama pass his Universal Health Care.

What the Obama is trying to do is Unconstitutional.  Period.

So who taught the Obama what he knows?

Today, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2454, the so called Climate Bill.

Which is really a Tax on Energy usage.

Expect prices for just about everything to rise exponentially

This morning, a 300 page amendment was added to the bill.

NO ONE READ IT

Democrats

Obama has consistently Lied about Not Raising Taxes.  Now with the help of the Democratic led Congress, the first step to destroying our freedoms has begun.  Amendments added at the last minute, no one in the House had the time to read and understand what was in the amendment or in the Bill itself.

This is going to effect Hawai’i in the most adverse way possible. We rely on energy being available in order to live our lives.  This will reduce our standard of living in Hawai’i.  Everyone will be effected.

Listen to what Obama said

So he won’t raise our taxes, just on corporations that we need to sustain our way of life.  We do not have any of the so called Green Technologies in place to offset our current technologies.  How much abuse will will we take from politicians that don’t care about us any longer?

This will destroy tourism in Hawai’i.

This will destroy Business in Hawai’i

This will raise the price of Food in Hawai’i

This will raise the price of everything in Hawa’i

This will destroy Jobs in Hawai’i

Hopefully, the Senate will have the sense to see what this bill is and kill it.

We need leadership in our government.  Where are the adults?

The Art of Food

My previous article on Fast (Food) Times in Pahoa brought in some interesting comments that got me thinking about the whole food thing in Hawai’i, and for that matter, everywhere else in the world.  With all the cookbooks available, both online and in print, television shows and demonstrations, I’m really surprised that the art of creating your own breakfast, lunch, and dinner isn’t more practiced by the individual.  I mean, how hard is it to make a ham sandwich?

Having chickens to provide fresh eggs can be a lot of work.

If you don’t keep them contained in an area where the hens can lay eggs, then you’ll find eggs in all sort of strange places.

I mean seriously.  Everyday becomes an Easter Egg hunt.  Our chickens lay eggs just about everywhere around the house.  Sometimes our chickens disappear for about 21 days and show up with a brood of about 8 to 10 more chicks.  Thus the price for free eggs daily.  The price of store bought eggs are kind of pricey, so searching for fresh eggs daily around the house isn’t a bad thing after all.  But I digress…

Questions?

Why do they call it Fast Food when you have to wait in a line this long to get your food?

Why do people want to eat in their cars for that matter rather than in a sit down restaurant?

Why wouldn’t people want to make their own breakfast, lunch or dinner?  And Snacks?

Convenience

At the McDonald’s here in Kea’au, the drive through line snakes it’s way to the parking log entrance and at times, out onto the street.  Especially during peak hours the car lines get backed up.  Is it the convenience of already cooked food waiting to be packaged in paper wraps and bags that attracts people to these fast food places?  Curious, I went inside to sample the cuisine of Chef Ronald McDonald.

After my taste buds carefully analyzed the bland unseasoned mystery meat surrounded by one leaf of lettuce, a thinly sliced tomato, pickle, and some kind of sauce all stuffed into a doughy hamburger bun.   Including with the meal were cardboard like french fries.   I wondered what was missing.  Trans-fats?  This meal really wasn’t anything like what I remembered growing up.  It’s been a long time, years, since I’ve visited a McDonald’s and I was aware of changes made to the menu.  Or could it be that my tastes were changing?

Mmmm, Nothing like Deep Fried Bacon Wrapped Twinkies

Changing times and changing minds.  First it was the trans-fat controversy that sought to ban anything using trans-fats.  Second was the substitute fries for fresh fruit.  A novel approach to satisfy the Food Police condemnation of anything fast food.  However, was taste sacrificed in doing so?

When food used to taste good. Circa 1912, this Crisco Cookbook introduced the hydrogenation of animal fats used in everyday cooking.  Cakes, Muffins, Breads, Desserts, and even Fried Chicken.

Kentucky Fried Chicken used to used hydrogenated oils to fry their Finger Lickin’ Good chicken in their original and extra crispy recipes.

Now, with the exception for KFC fries, the chicken doesn’t taste anywhere near what I remembered it used to be in those lost years of my youth.

Then it was butter, of all the lists of animal fats to be damned.  The unholiest of all saturated fats.  Folding butter into flower to form a rue, a pie crust, a croissant for fluffy lightness and flavor.

The baked potato(e) stuffed with bacon bits, garlic chives, salt and pepper, shredded cheese, and a generous stick of butter to top it off.  Off Limits!

Next on the list of forbidden animal products was milk.  Not just milk, but whole milk.  Cream, cheese and other natural products that have been around for centuries.  Now the rich creamy delicacy is watered down.  Starved of its rich heavy molecules  that clog the arteries, seizes hearts, and thins the population through natural attrition.

For some reason, there are people that seem to think it is their duty to police and regulate the food we eat.  They say we, as Americans, are getting too fat.  That all this over weight is a strain on the American Health Care system.

Enter the Food Police, the Diet Dictators, the Advocates and Politicians that, if given a chance, will regulate your eating habits, what food you can purchase, and take your choice as a consumer away.  Because you’re all too stupid and irresponsible to manage your lives.

Here are The Top Ten Stupid Food Police Ideas:

1. We’re going to Sue Them and Sue Them and Sue Them
2. Sue their Parents and Sue their Doctors
3. Banning Diet Sodas from Schools
4. The “Zoning Diet” – Keep Restaurants out of Town
5. Hide Candy behind the Counter
6. No Sharing of Snacks at School
7. Create a “National Food Czar”
8. Place a Sin Tax on all Restaurant Meals Under Four Dollars
9. Carding for Candy
10. Completely Dismiss Personal Responsibility

Number Ten is the one I like the most.  It’s the one item that says you’re too stupid to make your own decisions.  That someone needs to regulate your eating habits, what foods you can purchase, and if you don’t comply, we’ll take you to court and force you to comply.  Nice to know someone is looking out for us.

Step into the Light

Or The Abyss

It’s like they treat food like it’s some kind of addiction.  It’s a War on Personal Responsibility brought on by the Gastronomical Gestapo.  Serious discussion has brought forth some of the most strange and bizarre suggestions by the food cops.  Big Government might have to step in and save people and children from Free Market Predators.  Laws need to be enacted to would allow a waiter to decide if a patron could have dessert, much like a bartender can decide whether to pour a customer another drink. Just as cigar bars were banned in California … ice cream parlors could get the axe.  Perhaps restaurants should install scales to determine what foods a customer can eat based on their weight.

Probably all part of a larger conspiracy I suppose.

Fast (Food) Times in Pahoa

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the News Reports, the FBI Blogs, and all the commentary about a Burger King restaurant opening in Pahoa.  The protests are just ketchup on the fries to me.  I mean, this is Pahoa.  Where people get defensive if you either challenge them about what you can, or can not, put in your body.  Never mind the jobs for minimum wage that will be created.  Especially for young people that need jobs that will help them develop a good work ethic and job entry skills.  Who knows?  The BK worker today,  may be the next Roy Yamaguchi tomorrow, or food critic.

Not Roy’s, but Mine’s

Actually, Sack-n-Save Poke.  Hawaiian Kine Fast Food.  Just mo bettah!

Anyway, I really don’t understand what all the beefs is about.  It’s not like BK is the first fast food restaurant in Pahoa.  It’s probably the corporate America hatred.  The anti-establishment, not in my back yard, no not another fast food joint, another greasy spoon, a Jack-n-the-Box, Ronald McDonald clown spot.  Only now, it’s a Burger King and a Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food chain, and if anyone has watched the current androgynous BK commercials, it’s hard to tell just what Burger King is selling anymore.  It’s like a Calvin Kline commercial.  What the hell are they selling?

You want Beef???

Eh!  If I no see Spam Misubi and Rice on the menu, I no order here!

What? No Rice!

How is this protecting Pahoa and from what?  We all have to eat.  It’s what allows us to live to see the next day.  We are what we eat, aren’t we?  Well, are we?  Who cares if a Burger King opens in Pahoa or anywhere else.  Well, apparently some people do have a legitimate argument against more Fast Food restaurants opening.  It doesn’t promote healthy eating habits.  I guess that BK Veggie Burger doesn’t count.  I’ll settle for a good ol’ Loco Moco.

Heck, if you don’t like the food.  Don’t eat it.

Love it or hate it.  Say what you want about Fast Food.  It’s here to stay, just like the coqui frog.  If you’re like me, that came from the mainland, where BK’s, Micky D’s, Wendy’s, Sonic, Whataburger, and Taco Bell and how many others are there that line the highways in just about every town in America.  It’s all a matter of taste and convenience.    The list goes on and on about the evils of fast food, but look at the nutrition value of a Lau Lau.  I love Lau Lau’s!

It’s a business.  They provide a service.  If that service thrives, then we all benefit.  It if fails, then that business goes away and someone else moves in to replace that business with whatever business they want.

Free Markets Baby!  That’s America!

Now for some real news:

The Letter

Everyone should read this magnificent letter which really puts our out of control government in perspective.

You can find more detail about this letter here.

Why Should This Matter to you?

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I’m not a racist. This isn’t to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don’t you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don’t you start there.

Seven: ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don’t trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight: Redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ‑‑ what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we’ll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band‑Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let’s have it. Let’s say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ‑‑ please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let’s just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I’m busy. I’m busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don’t want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we’re morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we’re so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn’t ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don’t care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

STATE RUN MEDIA

ABC TURNS PROGRAMMING OVER TO OBAMA;

NEWS TO BE ANCHORED FROM INSIDE WHITE HOUSE;

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care;

Source: www.drudgereport.com/

This is Socialism!  This is Fascism!

This is a News Agency that is being used by the Obama to Force its Policies upon the American People.

This is a Dangerous.  There will not be a Fair and Balanced Debate on Serious Issues.

This is a platform to push the Health Care Agenda.  A Single Payer System that will destroy the Free Market system in America.  We will be like Canada and England’s Health Care System.  BROKEN.

Our Way of Life in this country is being Destroyed by The Obama and its Minions ABC News.

IN the Opinion section of the Hawai’i Tribune-Herald:  A person who claims to be a doctor, writes about the decline of the medical services in America.  But they never cite any evidence.  Health Care in this country has been the leading edge in the World.  Cancer care is has made tremendous advances over the last 20 years.  Health Care for women has improved significantly with the use of digital technology for mammograms and  other cancer screenings.  Men’s health care for prostrate has had significant advances.

The list goes on and on.  Hell, we invented Viagra.

Continuing from this morning…..

This is also Censorship because ABC will not allow any opposing opinion on the News.  This means the News will be fabricated and falsely delivered.   ABC called it “Prescription for America”, but what does that mean?

The claim is there is that there is a Health Care Crisis in America.  Is there a health care crisis in America?  If there is, then where is it?  What is it?  Do you know anyone who cannot get health care?  If you get sick, you cannot be turned away from any hospital emergency room.  It’s against the law for any hospital to do so.  So, where is the health care crisis?  It’s being manufactured by the State Run Media.

The Obama wants a single payer system.

The Obama says you can still keep your doctor.

The Obama says you can keep your health care plan.

The Obama is a Bold Faced Lier

Socialist Obama

Under the Obama plan, competition will be eliminated by a State Run single payer plan.  You cannot compete against the government.  England has warned us not to go down that path.  England went into a government single payer plan, so did Canada and much of Europe.  It has failed miserably.

Ask yourself this:  Do you want some pencil neck government bureaucrat making your health care decisions?

Back to the News.  This is why ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN, all are suppose to be “NEWS” organizations, are supporting a socialist health care plan.  They are all supporting the government controlling health care insurance.  This is the worst mistake we can ever let happen to our country.

Hawai’i:  WAKE UP.  This has been done before and it didn’t work then.  Remember this?

Hawaii lawmakers approved the health plan in 2007 as a way to ensure every child can get basic medical help. The Keiki (child) Care program aimed to cover every child from birth to 18 years old who didn’t already have health insurance — mostly immigrants and members of lower-income families.

What Happened?

People who were already able to afford health care began to stop paying for it so they could get it for free,” said Dr. Kenny Fink, the administrator for Med-QUEST at the Department of Human Services. “I don’t believe that was the intent of the program.

This is what will happen under the Obama plan.  The State could not afford it.  Our Government will go bankrupt under a single payer plan.  We already have Medicare and Medicaid and they are so far in debt it’s impossible for the system to go solvant.  Just think what a single payer system will cost?

From USA Today:

Bottom line: Taxpayers are now on the hook for a record $59.1 trillion in liabilities, a 2.3% increase from 2006. That amount is equal to $516,348 for every U.S. household. By comparison, U.S. households owe an average of $112,043 for mortgages, car loans, credit cards and all other debt combined.

This article was written back in 2007.  The problem is only going to get worst.  The Federal government will eventually have to come to grips with the cash flow problem.  Like other governments, they have to cut costs.  They will do it by Rationing Health Care.  This is Socialism.

Kini’s Epilogue: A response to an Opinion to the Hawai’i Tribune-Herald:

In response to Courtney Richards opinion in the Tribune-Herald (6/16/2009), “Prevention is Key”.

While I agree that prevention is key to health care, I also believe is it the individuals and communities responsibility to manage their own health care.

It should neither be the State nor the Federal government’s responsibility to manage individual health care.  That would be Socialism to do so.

I have been a Patient who has seen the advances in the medical care system over the last 20 years, not in decline as you claim.  Health Care in this country has been the world leader in cutting edge technology.  Cancer care is has made tremendous advances over the last 20 years.  Health Care for women has improved significantly with the use of digital technology for mammograms and  other cancer screenings.  Men’s health care for prostate cancer has had significant advances.  The list of Pharmaceuticals Medicines to treat hepatitis C, high cholesterol and high blood pressure are all developed here in this country.  It has saved millions of lives.  That is corporate profit for everyone.

Governments, like England and Canada, have socialized medical care.   Those governments have failed in being able to manage the costs, and quality of care.  They have warned us, and hope that we do not follow where their governments have foolishly gone in providing a single payer health care plan like that being proposed by the Obama administration.  They have long waiting lines for  procedures.  Their patients come to the United States for help.

Hawai’i State once tried a “Universal Child Health Care” system and had to cancel it because people that could afford their own children’s health care were dropping their own private insurance for the Free State Health Care.  That’s our Tax Dollars paying for that.  This would also happen under the Obama plan.  The government would manage health care through a taxed based plan.  When the care gets too expensive, cuts in health care will come.  Just like in Canada and England, “Health Care Rationing” will be the norm.  Resulting in some Washington pencil neck deciding whether you need the care or not.  Do You Really Want that Kind Of Care?

Creative solutions, as you suggest, must come from our private sector and  the free markets, but not from the government.  This morning KPUA 670 radio’s “Community Forum” had guests touting the new digital medical equipment and advances being employed in the Hilo Medical center.  This is not a decline in the medical  services, but an advancement in the treatment and availability to everyone island wide.

We can solve our own problems.  We are a free nation. We do not need government intervention.  It is to our profit and vitality to allow problems to be solved at the local level, and not by those who do not understand and live with our local issues.    It does cost money.  Everything does.  Charities, non-profits, community involvement and all efforts to help each other, spread the knowledge.  That’s Self Sustainability.  That’s Hawai’i.  That’s Aloha!

Flag Day

Greatest Moments in Flag History

On April 25, 1976 at Dodger Stadium, Rick Monday of the Chicago Cubs, grabbed and secured the American flag from two Muslims attempting to burn our flag in the middle of the playing field. It was an outstanding display of American Patriotism.

Freedom is Not Free.  It must always be defended.  Especially from those who would take it away.
