A Healthy health care Debate

A healthy Health Care Debate – at Tom Paine.com
Jacob S. Hacker is a Yale University political science professor and a fellow at the New America Foundation . He is the author of The Great Risk Shift: The Assault on American Jobs, Families, Health Care, and Retirement—And How You Can Fight Back , as well as of the “Health Care for America” proposal recently released as part of the Economic Policy Institute’s Agenda for Shared Prosperity .

“What a difference a year makes. Just 12 short months ago, health care was nowhere on the political agenda, and pundits were confidently stating that, after the failure of the Clinton health plan a dozen years prior, Americans continued to be wary of serious action. Affordable, quality health care for all Americans was a pipe dream.”

“…The problem is that health security in the United States is hostage to the choices of insurers and employers, rather than to the choices of the American people. If and when that finally changes, affordable, quality health care for all Americans will no longer be a pipe dream. It will be the American dream. ‘
My American Dream is that the so called “health care” industry will become completely privatized, that all government moneys will be pulled and that the American People will claim their right to pursue happiness rather than being held hostage by the Medical Police State that currently rules.
Hillary Care funded by Mr. and Mrs. America will just mean more death and destruction for the American Family.
I wonder how Hillary Clinton would deal with parents who don’t want to vaccinate?
Read the transcript of the Clinton Chronicles….it is a model for what we could expect yet again in America if Madamn President takes the reigns of power in America and then appoints Bill to be Secretary General of the UN.

Hugh Hewitt: If you weren’t feeling stupid enough, here is the list

Hugh Hewitt had a couple of professors on his radio show and asked them the top books freshman should read in college. The transcript was a good read. Here is the link
And my comment #34:
I thought I would share some of the great LDS literature, links anyway…these would be in my top ten, not a professor, just a mom..
The Book of Mormon
– Perhaps the greatest book ever written on Freedom and what it takes for individuals, families, and nations to be free.
The Doctrine and Covenants
The Doctrine and Covenants is a collection of divine revelations and inspired declarations given for the establishment and regulation of the kingdom of God on the earth in the last days.
The Pearl of Great Price
The Pearl of Great Price is a selection of choice materials touching many significant aspects of the faith and doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These items were produced by the Prophet Joseph Smith and were published in the Church periodicals of his day.
I would add to the scriptures, these additional works of LDS non Fiction:
Jesus the Christ
The Miracle of Forgiveness
Ezra Taft Benson, A Biography
While a study of the ancients is beneficial and gives a sure foundation in western thought and philosophy, my modern mind revels in the words of fiction writers like Victor Huge (Where was Les Mis???), Chaim Potok, JRR Tolkien, Ayn Rand, LM Montgomery, and two all time favorites, (which were required in my BYU Honors Colloquium Freshman Year, Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and The Dancing Wu Li Masters, which has profoundly impacted my life from the minute I first opened that book.
We did read quite a few of the classics the good professors mentioned freshman year. I shudder to think what my oldest daughter is going to experience fall of 2007…praying for sanity in her freshman college classrooms.

Mercury, Autism and the Global Vaccine Agenda: Link to a presentation by David Ayoub MD

http://www.robodoonproductions.com
1 hr 31 min 16 sec – Aug 15, 2006
http://www.radioliberty.com
David Ayoub, M.D. goes through the relations of Mercury to Autism as well its connections to “National Security Study Memorandum 200”; for … all » population control. Showing its shocking connections to today’s G.A.V.I. Are powerful forces really trying to help the poor people or could it be for another agenda; the sterilization of the poor? This is an upsetting video, so brace yourself.

When you have a couple of hours to yourself, take the time to review this movie.

UPDATE:
Given the brewing scandal at the world bank around Wolfowitz’s girlfriend, and the fact that they are meeting this week in America, perhaps it is time for them to acknowledge the roll they have played in the Vaccine scandals.
WAPO via Austin Bay:

“His acknowledgment, though cryptic, was a major new development in an unfolding scandal at the global lending institution, which seeks to help the world’s poorest countries. With annual meetings of the the bank and the International Monetary Fund convening in Washington this week, the World Bank’s executive board is discussing Wolfowitz’s future.”

After watching Dr. Ayoub talk about the world bank and how they are “helping” the poorest nations on the earth, I have to question just about everything the world bank does and stands for.
Wolfowitz should be fired and the world bank exposed for the frauds around the vaccine controversys.
UPDATE:
More on the World Bank Situation:
From Huff Po Writer Steve Clemons

“One other tidbit about Wolfowitz that I have confirmed is less dramatic than securing his girlfriend a nearly $200,000 salary — but still quite fascinating.

I now know from a second source — as my first would only discuss this matter firmly off the record — that Wolfowitz and Kevin Kellems had dinner at the Aquarelle Restaurant at the Watergate Hotel last year with a very prominent member of Washington’s journalistic community.

The journalist in question had not met Wolfowitz previously and Kellems played a “relationship-brokering” role. What is interesting about this particular meeting — as far as I understand the details of it — is that the journalist in question, who I cannot name but can attest for his solid reputation as a serious writer, assumed that the topic of discussion at dinner would be Wolfowitz’s global economic development agenda, his view of how to make the World Bank relevant to 21st century security and economic challenges, and so on.

Instead, Wolfowitz — as recently as one year ago — was still manically obsessed with the connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda. Wolfowitz reportedly brought with him to dinner an enormous binder of materials, articles, essays, reports, intelligence, etc. — arguing that the connection between Hussein and bin Laden’s operation was real and robust.

I can’t report on the journalist’s reaction to the dinner — other than to say he was “surprised.”

If Wolfowitz has been spending time hiring people like Robin Cleveland and Kevin Kellems — as well as pushing the career of his girl friend “illegally” — and obsessing about validating his bad decisions in the build-up to the Iraq War, then he has not been attentive to his real and fundamental responsibilites at the World Bank.

If all the rumors about his resignation tomorrow are untrue, Paul Wolfowitz should make them true as soon as possible.”

My long time readers know that I am a Neo-Con and completely supported and continue to support the invasion of Iraq and the taking down of Sadaam Hussein. I also understand why Mr. Wolfowitz would want to validate and justify his actions and promotion of the War in Iraq.
What I would like to know is how much money Vaccine manufacturers had tied to this decision to yell and scream about Weapons of Mass Destruction the past six years. Don’t get me wrong, I know those weapons are real and are a big threat. What I question is how much the Government has been influenced by Big Pharma to push it in the Media to soften up the populace into welcoming the idea that Vaccines are the answer to all of those threats?
I believe we all need to watch this very closely, and understand that our soldiers are being used as Gunea Pigs by being shot up with all the vaccines for WMD (Anthrax etc) The fact that our soldiers who have refused vaccines go to prison tells me how powerful the drug lobby has been in relation to these major decisions around weapons of mass destruction.
I am all for American Imperialism if it means freeing nations from despotic rule. But if American Imperialism boils down to hype to make more money for pharmaceutical companies, then I believe it is time for those particular frauds to be exposed!
Perhaps this World Band scandal will help open up the records and we can understand just exactly who has profited from the war in this sicko fashion.

Joseph Mangus

My friend Joe, who arrived home from Iraq last week, is dead.
He was found by his mother on monday evening, dead in his basement. I have not yet heard the results of the autopsy report, all I know is that my friend, our adopted uncle has moved on to the next life.
These past few hours since we heard of Joe’s Death have been a whirlwind of emotion.
Last sunday he came walking into church with his mom Ruth, who is a dear friend, and his siblings and nephew. He looked so happy, and just gave me this grin when he noticed me up on the stand. I lead the singing in sacrament meeting.
For some strange reason, I had taken my digital camera to church on sunday, just grabbed it as we walked out the door. I took picture of the beautiful flowers on the stand, but when I saw Joe walk in, I decided to get some footage of our reunion.
Benjamin, our four year old, has had a year of praying for Joe. Almost every time I heard him pray, for family prayer, his evening prayers, and even our blessings on the food, he has prayed for Joe, that Heavenly Father would keep him “safe and strong”.
I snapped the above picture of Joe and Ben at church right after the sacrament program, and made a little movie clip of Ben seeing Joe for the first time.


We had invited Joe to come over for family home evening on monday night at six O’clock.
I cooked a wonderful supper, and the boys went out to the front sidewalk and using chalk wrote “welcome home Joe” on the cement. We waited and waited for him to show up, but he never arrived.
The next morning Paul and I took the boys and our dog for a walk to the park, and when we arrived home he checked his email. I was out in the kitchen making lunch, and he started to cry and yell “no, no”. I ran over and read the email from our Bishop informing us that Joe was dead, found by his mom Ruth late monday evening.
I feel such a jumble of emotions.
Ben kept saying….”who is dead mom? Is it our Joe, Our JOE??!??”
I had lovely concern showed to our family by my visiting teachers and a member of our relief society. But my biggest concern is for Joes brother and sisters, and his mother Ruth. I love her so much, she has really mothered me these past few months, and I feel such a connection to her and ache for the loss of Joe, her oldest son.
Here are some blog entries that mentioned Joe’s service and how excited he was to come home. That to me is the biggest irony of all. We prayed him home safe, and now he is gone.
