A few comments on the health care "forum"

Since I currently have quite a bit of time on my hands, I've been kind of keeping tabs on the "debate" that has been going on today over health care "reform".

So far, the Repub's have been staying on message, and on specific topics per speaker. Apparently, they all got together and hashed out what each of them was going to focus on, which imo, is a splendid idea, and seems to be working quite well.

One thing that has the conservative bloggers "up in arms" is the fact that BHO and a couple other Dems spoke for around thirty minutes, but cut our guy off at less than fifteen minutes. Not fair, but at least to me, not unexpected.

One guy on our side of the "debate", Rep. Paul Ryan (who gave a clear "road map" a while ago that the Dems have been trying to denigrate) has really shone, and in the clip below, he takes BHO to the woodshed, and BHO has to just sit there and take it. Good stuff.

Patient Choice Act

If this was what the current administration had proposed, instead of their fast road down a slippery slope to a single-payer system (which is their ultimate goal - just ask Barney Frank!), I would have been on board in a heart beat.

This plan seems fair, and seeks to *not* add to the deficit while still providing that all Americans get affordable health care insurance tailored to their specific needs - as opposed to the Obamaniac's reckless push to both get this country to a single-payer system, and bankrupt us.

However, don't hold your breath waiting for Congress as a whole to jump on board with this. Why not? Two reasons:
1. It was not proposed by the NSDWP* (aka Dems), therefore it isn't worth considering;
2. It gives power to the People, which this administration is adamantly opposed to, as power equals control. If the People have control, then that means that the government doesn't, and that will never, ever, do.
