Spare the Heel, Spoil the Patient

By Shawn Macomber on 11.17.09 @ 1:23PM

My six year-old niece solves one of the greatest conundrums of the U.S. health care system--yes, better medicine is administered in flat shoes rather than heels--and wins an honorable mention in Reading Rainbow's Fifteenth Annual Writing Contest.

Maybe she can get a consulting gig on Nancy "Children's Congress" Pelosi's staff? "Dr. Emily Lynn's Shoes," after all, seems better reasoned than 95 percent of what's thus far come out of the health care reform debate!

Gimme a break. How can you losers not agree on universal healthcare?

Hi Death

Well Death, Conservatives love life for both thee and me. Obama-Care would shorten most peoples life for greater imposed costs. It is a outright asset skimming scam camouflaged as a entitlement program. No one wants Obama-Care, that is why it most be imposed.

Show me where in the Constitution the "right" to healthcare - government run, and to the detriment of an individual - exists. And don't hand me that "general welfare" crap either - that's a red herring from the get-go.

Hey Death:

It ain't "universal health care" ... nope, it is instead universal government control that limits health care and, among many other really fine actions, dooms senior citizens to reduced health care.
