Because Facebook Sucks Right Now
Posted in February 4th, 2010 by Phil | Filed under My Life | Comments (3)
Okay, So I’ve tried to post this at least 4 times to facebook and it’s being really stupid. So here’s the simple version.Here’s a link to an article by a woman from the Soviet Union who explains why nothing our President has said should ever be deemed to be “Socialistic” or “Marxist”. http://ilaba.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/paint-it-red/
Over all, I feel that $62 after insurance for Pink Eye medicine, an illness I last had when I was 5 is a bit extreme. If we have the best Health Care system in the world, why hasn’t something this common just been taken care of?
I don’t know where people get this “Fully Federalized Socialistic Empire” plan they accuse Obama of having. If someone can post a link by a credible source (Whitehouse.gov, etc) explaining that to me, I’d appreciate it very much.
I feel the underlying principle is simply this: If you care about people, you will put aside political or personal pride to look at what is best for the United State and it’s citizens, and less about “Well I already said this so I have to keep going because I don’t want to admit I’m wrong.” Stop listening to talk show hosts on either side about their own views and start looking at what the people who matter are saying and learn for yourself what is right and what is wrong. Just because they have a TV show does not make them an expert.
Also, we should take a hard look at ourselves and what our vision of America is. We should treat people as people and not so much as statistics or false evidence to propagate our own side.
Thank you all for you comments, I personally learned a lot from the things you said and I’m glad everyone was civil.

“If we have the best Health Care system in the world, why hasn’t something this common just been taken care of?”
We don’t have the best health care system in the world. But we do have the best health care in the world. Liberals talk about how our health system is terrible because it’s so expensive and inaccessible for many people, while conservatives talk about how it is awesome because anyone with money comes here for care.
I had a Canadian friend who tried to convince me that Canada’s health care system is better because Canadian doctors are always coming to the US. But in truth, they are coming here because they are the BEST Canadian doctors, and they know they can make more money in our privatized system. So I don’t see how the fact that all of the best Canadian doctors are here proves that Canada has a better system.
The fact is that we DO have the best quality – but we also pay dearly for it. I’m no fan of the status quo, but let’s be honest about the fact that American health care IS the best – if you can afford it.
