Even a Blind Squirrel Can Find a Nut Sometimes...

I found these comments regarding the situation in Haiti particularly interesting…


The first few were from a live CNN report from Haiti with Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta…

Anderson Cooper: I do think some of these big organizations, plans are made in some other country—back in Geneva or something—and by the time it gets filtered down and the bureaucracy gets involved and there's a million chiefs(?) involved, days have been wasted, when, you know, you could just get some folks and get out there. Roll up your sleeves and start doing it.

Dr. Sanjay Gupta: There were some very critically ill patients there…this is one example, I don’t know if this happens at other times because of the bureaucracy…because lack of common sense.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta: People back home who have no idea are making these decisions and they're just not the right decisions sometimes.

Even Katie Couric got in on the action…

Katie Couric: To see that the response was taking so long, it was so frustrating. These big bureaucracies…I just think it takes a while, I guess.

That’s pretty much what conservatives have been trying to say about Universal Health Care all along. If you need to do it for those who NEED it, then do it…but for those of us who DON’T NEED it, leave it alone. By forcing everyone onto UHC, you only increase the bureaucracy…and look where that gets you…even CNN and CBS were able to stumble onto the truth…

  1. Not just Health Care--all government bureaucracy...
