I'm still waiting...

I’m still waiting to understand why we need Obama Care for EVERY SINGLE US citizen when only a small part of the population is affected…anyone? ANYONE? ANYONE AT ALL?!? Why is it that we have a problem that affects 15-20% of the population (and I’m using PBO’s numbers here—I happen to think that it’s much less than 15-20%—but I’ll use PBO’s numbers for the sake of argument) and the solution that’s being proposed covers 100% of the population? There’s a word that's used for that concept…OVERKILL!

In the 8/3/2009 CNN poll, 83% of respondents said they’re “generally satisfied with the health care they receive”, 74% said they’re “generally satisfied with their health care coverage”, and approximately 59% said they’re satisfied with the cost of their health care coverage. I happen to agree that health care costs a bit too much—but that’s a discussion for a later blog…i.e. taking down state mandated health insurance barriers which allows a person living in MN (for instance) to choose between only 7 or 8 different insurance companies when there are more than 1300 insurance companies in the US (it’s called “competition”)…so I tend to agree that the cost is a bit too much. But back to PBO…

When the Pentagon proposes to spend more money than they NEED, it’s called unnecessary and something that “needs to be corrected” (no argument here)…but when PBO proposes to spend more money than he NEEDS to spend on healthcare, it’s called “critical funding.” WHAT?!? Did someone take just a few too many hits of the happy juice? It’s a “20%” problem people (see my earlier caveat)! Let’s look at a 20% solution for it! Anything else is just plain STUPID!

I have 4 daughters…when we go shopping for shoes, I buy enough shoes for my 4 daughters…I don’t buy 16 extra pairs just for the heck of it! Hello McFly!

I just don't get it...maybe someone can explain it to me...I dunno, maybe PBO’s using the new math…
