A Prescription for American Health Care
This is a great article on the subject from Hillsdale College's Imprimis. I suggest everyone take the time to read it and then post your thoughts on the subject. Since Maobama says he will announce the elimination of dozens of government programs that don't work, maybe Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid would be a good place to start cutting back.

Blessed Saint Obama will heal me, I don't need any medical coverage
It's always a good idea to get the gov't out of our lives as much as we can
BOW - that's blaspheme to a liberal. They will tell you that there is no such thing as too much nanny - if only they could control every breath you take, the world would be perfect.
Well... perfect except for AIDS, poverty, hunger, hopelessness, anarchy, sloth, drugs, apathy, and death.

I have kleptomania,
But when it gets bad,
I take something for it.
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!
Except that one where you're naked in church.
Sometimes too much to drink just isn't enough.
Kinky is using a feather.
Perverted is using the whole chicken.
Suicidal twin kills sister by mistake!
In just two days from now,
Tomorrow will be yesterday.

The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.
I may be schizophrenic,
But at least I have each other.
I am a Nobody.
Nobody is Perfect.
Therefore I am Perfect.

I LOVE COOKING WITH WINE
Sometimes I even put it in the food.
When you work here,
You can name your own salary.
I named mine, "Fred".
Money isn't everything,
But it sure keeps the kids in touch.
Reality is only an illusion
That occurs due to a lack of alcohol.
I am having an out-of-money experience.
Don't sweat the petty things.
Don't pet the sweaty things.
Corduroy pillows are making headlines!
I want to die while asleep like my grandfather,
Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his bus.
I FOUND JESUS!
He was in my trunk when I got back from Tijuana.
It is far too late to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Too many people have banked on these progams being solvent for us to ignore them now.
This was a promise, that if people allowed the government to take their money NOW, they would get it back LATER. Fact is, unless we are all in the business of reniging on promises, there has to be a way to get this fixed.
Of course, having not broken it to begin with would have been nice, CONGRESS, I'm looking in your direction. IOUs don't buy bread, you bastards.
The other fact is, Social Security is not an entitlement. It is no more an entitlement than my 401K is an entitlement. People paid into it. That is THEIR MONEY. This is not some government handout, it is simply a governmentally operated savings program.
Of course, our elected worms spent the savings, and are now telling us they have to raise our taxes to get the money back or else the money that we put into the system will dissappear.
You cannot even buy your way out of it. The liabilities the government holds for Social Security amount to 52 trillion. That's about 12 times the yearly total GDP of the entire country. Fact is, we are all stuck with one big mess on our hands, and there just simply isn't enough money to fix it or kill it. It's like the hydra. Cut it's head off, it will just grow back.
