Greta Van Sustern's show mixed up pics of a couple of individuals that happen to be other than white. Over on Yahoo, there is a bunch of name calling and stupidity going on over it. It is everything from racial accusations to hatefulness aimed in every direction. I posted the following. I am trying to reason with people, get them to see that there is more to things they think are simple, while the truly small things are made complicated beyond belief.

Look, her show made a mistake. She has apologized. Let it go. For those who spew vileness at Fox, how about saving some of that for MSNBC??
Lets not talk Obama, let us talk about a position.
Do YOU think that healthcare is a right? Unlike speech, healthcare is a service and a product. If any service or product is a right, someone is under an obligation to provide that service or product. So, if you have the right to be seen by a Doc, the what of the Doc's rights? After all, time is all that any of us truly have - and in a finite amount. If a Doc is obligated to provide you with healthcare, then you are claiming entitlement to part of his time...part of his life. Do you follow? Do you still want to go down this road?? Suppose the Doc doesn't WANT to treat YOU?? Suppose that he wants to start a practice where he sees only patients that can pay him in full - He wants no involvement in the government healthcare system. Will the government allow that? Do you REALLY think they will? Do you think invention and innovation occur under coercion? After all, that expensive new drug is expensive now. Just because it can cure a disease, does that give a disease sufferer automatic claim to it? Would it help the disease sufferer that cannot afford it and may die - if the drug were never invented? What about the disease sufferer that can afford the drug 10 years down the road when the drug has become cheap? Like ANY new thing, the price is higher until the R&D have been paid. The price is higher until it starts gaining wider use. As that happens, the price will fall. As similar cures hit the market, the price falls further. No Doctor or Drug Company OWES you ANYTHING. They are in it for various reasons. One of them is to make money. Do you think that is evil? Would YOU work where your clientele claimed that you owed your product or service to them? Where they have a right to a portion of YOUR life?
Do you think Health Insurance too expensive? Why do you think an INSURANCE should cover every doctors visit? Health Insurance was originally about covering Hospitalization. In other words, health insurance was about catastrophic coverage. If car insurance was run like health insurance, it would cover oil changes and cost 10 times what it does now. Can you tell me how much the cash price is to your local doc? Did you know that many will negotiate cash price with you? Would you buy a car where the dealership did not tell you the price - where you find out the price only after the bill is sent to your house a month after you have started driving the car?? Why do we allow this in the medical field? Why do the prices keep going up for medical insurance? It is because it is being used like crazy. An insurance company, like any other, HAS to take in more than it puts out.
Any time an administrative layer is introduced into something, inefficiencies are created and resources are consumed. So hypothetically speaking, if currently only 50 cents of every dollar invested in the healthcare industry actually makes it to the patient, that amount will fall with government added into it. Maybe only 25 cents of a dollar makes it to the patient. It costs to push paper.
Seriously, think about these things!! Honestly consider them. That is all that I ask.
