Sometimes the failure of others is good for everyone.
President Obama preached to the choir in Copenhagen today.
Yawn.
Junk science by junk scientists. Oh, and when I hit on this topic, the best response that I got accused me of calling names and not being a scientist. Guess what, I never claimed to be a scientist. And the only name calling in that post was a general statement about zealots and zealotry. And that is what these man-caused global warming propagandists are.
Copenhagen is a failure.
This is good.
From Voice of America:
Now, back closer to home, lets hope that Cap and Tax (which is an honest name) and Health INSURANCE Reform fail.
Cap and Tax is a move to take more of your money and convert it to a new form of currency called Carbon Credits. And this at a time when people don’t know what their money is based on anyway, since it is not on the gold-standard. This is the work of Harry Houdini folks, maybe Penn and Teller can sort this out.
Health INSURANCE Reform is something else you need to hope fails. Why? This is the simplest way that I can answer this. What is INSURANCE? In its simplest form, insurance is gambling. The Insurance providers are betting that you don’t get sick, hurt, etc. You are betting that you will. Premiums are based upon the risk.
So, insurance companies are legalized bookies….follow me here. If you are Western Kentucky and you are going to play Alabama in football in 2009, you will get high payouts on a Western Kentucky win because the odds-makers/bookies know that Alabama is a safe bet.
BUT, if the bookie is forced to take all bets on Alabama, straight up, and payout when the Crimson Tide wins, the bookie goes broke. Period.
The bookie covers his bets by offering those high payouts on Western Kentucky getting the upset to entice bettors to take that side. And the bookie may only take bets based on a point spread. If you take Alabama and give 45 points, or WKU and take the points, the money evens out on the game.
What Congress and the President are wanting to do, is force all the of the insurance companies to take on all the folks who want Alabama to win, straight up.
How will that cut costs on health care?
It won’t. That is why the failure of this bill is good for everyone.
Get back to the issues.
Global Warming may be a problem, but don’t use junk science to place blame. I used CFL’s, our Christmas lights outside are LED’s, and we keep the thermostat low in the winter and high in the summer. This is responsible use of resources, prompted by saving money. We recycle because it is convenient and responsible for us now. Making me pay more, arbitrarily, because they CAN is punative. Hope that bill dies a very painful death.
That ties the two issues together. Now for the third. Health CARE Reform. Attack the issues with HEALTH, not with INSURANCE. Encourage people to become more active. Going to a gym and riding a stationary bike or getting on an elipical or treadmill bores the HELL out of those of us with ADHD. Get me involved in a volleyball game, flag football, kickball, dodgeball, waterpolo, whatever and I will be a healthier person. Make the experience of going to a doctor more positive and pleasurable, not a big time SUCK and annoyance.
Simply put, make getting and being healthy a FUN experience and people will become healthier.
Best practices at health care facilities to prevent other from getting sick from the ones who are already sick.
The answers can be simple. Killing an industry is NOT the way to go about it.
Mandating health insurance is stupid. Health is a right, unlike driving, which is a privilege.
Do you understand why these issues SHOULD fail?
So, what are you going to do about it?
