A Different Voice

The news has been dominated by rallies in Wisconsin and Libya in recent days.  (But since Libya is not part of the United States yet, I will not discuss Libya today.)  The battle seems to be between the Wisconsin Teachers’ Union right to collective bargaining and the state’s right to save taxpayers money.  The thing missing in the equation is the children.

While the discussion seems to be about money, nobody seems to be paying attention to the children’s education.  This is why I flew to Wisconsin (That and seeing an opportunity to campaign to thousands of people at a time without having to set up a rally.)  While campaigning, I handed out pamphlets of my education platform.  The sad part is that neither the union supporters nor the state supporters seemed interested in my platform or in improving education for the children.

It is a shame that neither side could see that my plan is a win for both sides.  The unions would win because it would cost less to educate the children under my plan, thus leaving more money for the teachers.  The state supporters would win because we would no longer be funding things like bassoon players and shot-putters because neither has a market in the business world.

Americans have become too wrapped up in themselves to see that their actions affect others.  I have the insight and the vision to look out for everybody.  (Even for those people who are not hotties.)

Not Pleased With the Health Care Bill

Let’s assume for a minute that the health care bill does everything the Democrats say it will without the scary things Republicans say it will do.  I would still be against this bill.  While the bill offers a lot, there are still provisions missing from it that I feel it needs:

• Not all doctors will be able to collect from insurance companies:  Sure doctors can collect if they practice “conventional” medicine of chiropractic medicine, but my doctor practices Santeria medicine.  This bill discriminates against doctors who offer animal sacrifices for the wellness of others.
• Not all drugs are covered in drug plans.  There is no point in getting generic Viagra for $4 if you can’t get a generic case of beer for $4.  Beer contains alcohol, which is a drug.  Looking at some of the women I had been with over the years, I needed that case of beer before I would do anything that would require the use of Viagra.
• It offers little in preventive medicine.  This bill offers no discounts in preventions I feel would work.
• It doesn’t cut the cost of health care, just the amount you would pay out of your pocket.  (Remember, we’re assuming that the Democrats are correct with this bill – which they’re not.)  The price of premiums may be cut, but not the cost.  The government will pick up the costs that you’re not paying for now.  When I say “government”, I mean “taxpayer”, and when I say “taxpayer”, I mean you.

I am not a big fan on mandated health insurance.  Don’t ask me why this happens, but every time auto insurance becomes mandated in a state, the premiums increase.  The states with the lowest insurance rates are the few states that don’t mandate it.

One would figure that a bill as thick as a phone book would have been able to include everything, including the points I mentioned earlier.  This bill does not do that, so I am urging the House of Representatives not to pass this bill until my points are remedied.
