The Waffle House

I found it funny tonight, during President Obama's health care pitch, that the Administration continues to waffle on all their policies. Obama made a point that young, healthy adults, are choosing not to pay for healthcare coverage. By doing so, they are putting themselves at risk and causing a huge burden on the system. I am not sure how much burden a few million young, healthy adults are putting on the system, but the idea seems laughable. We are going to target the young, healthy, financially independent with fines for not choosing to pay for coverage they will not use, or not need to use because they have a backup with savings and investments. Again, we are attacking success again.

Then, at the same time, the Administration is going after overweight adults as victims. To pay for their coverage, they want to increase taxes on snack foods, fast foods and pop. A Sin Tax for gluttons. Except, that once again, punishes those who are healthy and know when to stop eating. Punish successful businesses like Coca-Cola and Pepsi because a man in Alabama cannot drink less then 9 gallons of cola a day. The real Tea Party is coming, and I suspect it will be in Atlanta when millions of gallons of sugary drinks are spilled to cut out their taxable profit.

If you want to lower health costs, Mr. Harvard Law Graduate, Mr. President of the Harvard Law Review; is to go after medical malpractice lawyers. Why would the President, a lawyer, go after other lawyers, jacking up the costs of everything because of the rising costs of malpractice insurance. It is not the amount of rewards from malpractice that make it a burden, it is the number of cases the sheer work hours spent by administration and courts that absorb the burden. Go ask John Edwards about his days as an ambulance chaser. He was so successful, he found plenty of money to pay for both his wife's kids and his mistress's. Most husbands struggle to cover just one partner in America.

Obama then wraps up his speech by promising to make doctors less likely to cause mistakes, so there are less lawsuits. Here he inserts his comments so he can claim he is a moderate. That is how he is targeting folks, going again, after successful PRACTICING doctors and MAKING them work safer. Not look into malpractice, just limit it, by punishing those who practice medicine in this country. He said malpractice lawsuits were a problem, then said he was going to correct them by going after the victims. Welcome to the Waffle House, may I give you your order?
