Kill the Mormans
The health care debate continues to rage in Congress and the press. Almost daily we read about some country whose population lives longer than the average American. This longevity difference is used as an argument favoring the Health Care takeover favored by the Democrats and their friends in the media. What they fail to do is look at the underlying numbers . They won’t tell you that the United States ranks at or close to the top in the treatment and survival from some specific medical issues. As an example, Americans are at the top in survival from some types of cancer. They are at the top in survival from stroke and heart disease.
If this is true, why do people in countries with socialized health care systems have longer ? One of the primary reasons is life style. Americans tend to have poorer diets. We consume more fat and drink more alcohol. We also take more addicting drugs. Our inner cities tend to be more dangerous places than many other cities. It is not unusual to see more violent death in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, New Orleans and Washington than in Bagdad. Our young people are killing each other in gang warfare at an alarming rate. This have nothing to do with the quality of health care.
The Democrats and their liberal bed fellows have perverted the Constitution’s equal protection clause to mean equal outcome. They have done this in education, employment and many other areas of life. Their Health Care takeover is attempt to do the same. Studies have shown that Mormans, with their healthier lifestyles, then to live nearly 10 years longer than the average American. This must seem so unfair to liberals. What can they do about this unfair outcome? We know they can not improve the life expectancy of the average American. It would appear the only way to correct this unfair advantage held by the Mormans is to mandate Mormans die sooner. You might say this is absurd, but it is the same argument used by liberals in so many other areas of life.
It is time for the Health Care Bill to be put in the trash heap and real reform be considered. This time try using real facts instead of manipulating the facts to fit your desires to control the country.
