The facts are simple and basic and no one talks about them.
1st, the government can not properly manage the most simple thing with which they have been entrusted: Social Security.
Any insurance actuary could get it on its feet, but only so long as the government would give them the power they need and then stay completely out of it.
Social Security is basically the most simple task for the government.
Next is the Post Office. UPS and FedEx have show us that they could run the PO properly, but again it would require that the government stay totally out of it.
Now compare the complexity of the medical profession with the complexity of the two examples above.
The medical profession is probably the most complex profession on the face of the earth. You have everything from the old about to retire university professor looking through his microscope for something no one has every found, and he may not before he retires, to the super medical centers like Johns Hopkins, the many charitable church operated hospitals, the drug manufacturers, the medical equipment manufacturers...from bandaids and stethoscopes to robo artificial limbs....down to the family practitioner.
The very idea that a government agency can manage anything so complex and diverse is so ridiculous that anyone who suggests it should be laughed out of the room.
So obviously we are headed for a disaster far far beyond the problems with the web site, the costs, taxes and even the loss of personal liberty.
The medical profession as we know it will be destroyed.
Your care giver is going to be Kathleen Sebelius.
How does that sound?
there it seems to be going
No one had the b***s to educate the Obamarxist. That's assuming his IQ is high enough to learn 8th grade math, and his ego is small enough to admit his ignorance.
But... the most likely scenario is that people like this have been and continue to run our country, as well as ObamarxistCare:
There was a team of Obama people speaking to Mr. C. (engineer, automotive experience of 40+ years, and Chairman of CAR). They were explaining to Mr. C. that the auto companies needed to make a car that was electric and liquid natural gas (LNG) with enough combined fuel to go 500 miles so we wouldn't "need" so many gas stations (a whole other topic).
They were quoting BTUs of LNG and battery life that they had looked up on some website.
Mr. C. explained that to do this you would need a TRUNK FULL of batteries and a LNG tank as big as the car to make that happen, and that there were problems related to the laws of physics that prevented them from...
The Obama person interrupted and said (and I am quoting here):
"These laws of physics? Whose rules are those? We need to change that."
(Some of the others wrote down the law so they could look it up later.)
"We have the congress and administration. We can repeal that law, amend it, or use an executive order to get rid of that problem. That's why we are here, to fix these sort of issues."
