This is Captain Obama speaking.
If you'll please be seated, we'll be on our way.
The newest of the Gov't Fleet, this plane carries 5000 US Gallons of fuel, for a range of 2000 nautical miles.
Today, we'll be flying from Portland ME to San Diego, and the trip will take 5.75 hours.
Sit back and enjoy the ride....
-------------------------------------------------------
Assuming this plane did exist and Obama was the Captain, my question to you...
Is he Lying?
The answer is no, but...
The issue here is that the length of this trip is 2610.81 miles, or 110.81 miles longer than the capabilities of this aircraft.
Right now, intelligent people see the lapse in logic here and bring it up and of course their opponents accuse them of fear mongering, creating myths, or being racist.
This is exactly what is occurring with HR 3200.
There is nothing that outright states 'Death Boards', 'Illegal Alien Coverage', or 'Single Payer Option only'. But anyone who logically examines the situation will quickly see that these are definite results of this plan.
There is a doctor and nurse shortage, and this is only projected to get worse.
There are no provisions to deny illegal alien coverage, in fact they get this now and nothing is being done about it.
If one is going to control costs, care decisions will be made, and yes, life and death decisions will be affected. This too already occurs in the VA system.
Also, allow a Gov't option to exist, one which is subsidized by taxpayer money and where the 'bottom line' is of no concern, premiums can be lowered below levels normal market conditions can bear, ultimately forcing Private Health Care out of business, resulting in Single Payer by default.
So is Obama lying or just not telling the whole truth? I believe the latter. But just as Joe Wilson was inappropriate in his delivery, Obama too is inappropriate in casting disperaging comments towards those who analyze HR 3200 and see the implicit results.
You've all grown up understanding that no big task is undertaken all in one fell swoop, and if you haven't, study Confucious.
So why must we solve everything at the same time? Wouldn't it be wiser to take each problem seperately and address it in a calm rational manner instead of the 'buy it now, supply is limited! This offer won't last!' mentality?
Has this tactic ever worked for you? If so, I feel sorry for you.
The Nation's Healthcare Car that seats 8, and imagine it's paid for, needs a tune up, and Obama is pushing to sell it and get a Prius, saddling us with a new auto loan we can't afford, and only seats 4.
I say we drive down to Pep Boys instead.
This country is stuck in a throw-away mentality and this HR 3200 is yet just one more example of it.
Healthcare is as complicated as Software, and any programmer will tell you it is foolish to scrap a program for a new one instead of fine tuning the existing one. The former approach leads to inevitable disaster.
Everybody wants a solution, but no one is willing to examine the issue. Instead they rely on other's opinions when they should be using their brains. If you are not willing to do this, and examine this issue openly and honestly from every angle, then you need to shut up.
There are too many people out there pushing agendas they have no idea of what the results are beyond step of implementation, our esteemed president included.
