Clinton Bush Haiti Fund: Donate Now

She has no choice now. I wonder what would Senator McConnel's answer will be if he got the same question?

In visiting Rick Scott's site, I saw his write-up on how he complained about the White Houre "preselecting" questions. Where was Rick and his friends in the conservative community when the Bush Adminstration did the same thing? Such rhetoric does not address the central question of whether healthcare is a right or a privilege. Once the conservatives make their position clear, then a lot of the questions will be answered.


What was telling was Bernie Sanders' admission that Single Payer is off the table. However, the need to push for some sort of a medicare for all may be in the offing. It seems as if an element of competition may well compel insurance companies to move. Such stories as this lady's or Gina's Story that I wrote about in Outsider Views should not be allowed to happen in America.

One of the latest personal stories was the story of my friend and colleague Tim. I was saddened to find out that my friend lost his healthcare coverage recently after he lost his job. Now, as someone who is diabetic, he can't healthcare anywhere. What is he to do? Who can he talk to? Is it fair? Shouldn't he be allowed to not worry about going bankrupt or die? What about the other 45,999,998 people who are in the same boat? Conservatives for Patient Rights, Rick Scott's Group, has a full-court press to build upon this notion of "choice" and "responsbility". I am sure that both Tim and the lady featured in The President's Town Hall did do everything right. Yet, they're faced with this predicament. What would Mr. Scott tell these people?

When visiting Rick Scott's site, I found it quite interesting that they're not too keen on the plan that Mitt Romney is touting as his greatest achievement, citing a poll about dissatisfaction among Massachuttes residents . Mitt is the same guy that is being talked about as the guy that can save the Republicans in 2012.

What is clear is this: America is truly on the road to nowhere if it does not come to grips with managing its' healthcare. There seems to be some consesus on that front. Who will have the courage to step up and do the right thing?
