Maybe the wheels are really beginning to fall off the administration's bus. Because a day after a federal judge ruled that Virginia has legal authority to sue the federal government over the health care law, Missouri voters sent a symbolic message to the White House and Congress, overwhelmingly rejecting a key provision slapping a penalty on any American not having health insurance.
Add this revolt to the court cases over border control and maybe the grassroots majority will do something the Republicans in Congress can't seem to: blow Soros and his stooges out of the political water. Because, although I have no idea how Soros is profiting from health care reform, you can bet that if this administration fought for passage, he told them to get it done. And when the "boss" says jump, all this administration ever asks is "How high?" Because all Soros ever cares about is the money.
More than likely he's planning to build a network of rehabilitation centers across the U.S. populated with specialists who can repair all the patients that socialized medicine will almost kill, after the new health care reform bill puts all the good doc's out of business. And then those who don't like his clinics can fly to Guatemala, Haiti or Sierra Leone where the health care will likely be better. Maybe even Cuba will look good healthwise by then.
Going back to my own case that I touched on yesterday, I can't stress enough how scary it will be for those who are seriously ill in the future. Because, as I stated, if I was in one of the supposedly best hospitals in the United States, I can't imagine how awful it must be in a lesser institution. I met with and was examined by many people who are too dumb to tie their own shoes, yet they graduated medical school and landed jobs in a top-line place. A lot of that of course goes back to the fact that our educational system is valueless, but that's a whole 'nother story.
Anyway, having survived two so-called life-threatening infirmities and two long, involved, surgeries I think I got a pretty good insight into how and who does what and where in a hospital or medical practice. Furthermore, both cases involved months of hospitalization, so I saw and dealt with a lot more on the inside than most.
The conclusion I drew from my experience is that there are two critical things needed to survive in any aspect of medical situations, no matter. What you really need most are good genes and dumb luck. And, without either, you're likely cooked. Because, if you have to withstand what's done to you by most medico's, they'll ice you in almost no time.
I was explaining my medical viewpoint to someone just the other night, and he said, "Hold on a minute, Mike. You yourself went through two of the most life-threatening medical situations there are and survived. Don't you think these people are special and should be revered?" I replied that, "Yes, I agree, they are special in exactly the same way that my auto mechanic is, and I don't particularly revere him either."
The guy went on to ask why I had such a cold, non-caring feeling toward folks who'd "saved my life." I told him it was because, in my opinion these folks were simply doing their jobs and what they'd been trained to do. And, just like with a car, people go to them when something isn't working right and they're supposed to fix it. So, what's the alternative, should I be surprised that people who trained and worked at something every day for thirty years got it right and revere them for it? I don't think so. I went to these guys in the first place because their references said they were good at their trade. And, yes the two surgeons lived up to and surpassed their billings.
Yet, despite my opinions about my general expectations and performance among doc's, there's still the underlying, fundamental question. As perfunctory and rote as medical treatment is today, what's going to happen when the system socializes and future medico's don't even bother to open the manual up?
That's it for today folks.
Adios
