Most of the egregious aspects of the US health care system would be solved by a sensible, effective system of municipal medical clinics.

The first criticism of all clinics is that they only get the bad or inexperienced doctors.  That is true.  Consider these solutions:

Define medical personnel as doctors, nurses, medical technicians etc.

New Medical Personnel  – Pay rate range should be from twice the minimum wage to four times the minimum wage.  No interest or principal due on student loans during full time service at the clinic.  At the end of full time service, student loan principal reduced by the amount of pay received while employed by the clinic.

Experienced Medical Personnel – Zero salary, only tax benefits and student loan benefits.  Compensation calculated on a basis of 200 work days per year.  Use income tax paid last year divided by 200 as the daily compensation rate realized as a federal tax credit.  For example, if a doctor paid $50,000 in federal income tax last year, then his daily rate would be a $250 federal tax credit per day worked at the clinic.  Furthermore, student loan principal would be reduced yearly by the total amount of compensation received from the clinic by the doctor during that year. Furthermore, as long as a doctor worked at the clinic 20 days a year, then all student loan interest would be suspended for that year.

The poor performance of the economy provides a window of opportunity with regard physical facilities.  There are many vacant buildings which are fully functional as offices in all metropolitan centers.  Some of these are in foreclosure, some are available at severely discounted leases or purchase prices.  The medical equipment necessary should be available at very attractive pricing.  But we cannot allow the federal government to do the facility or equipment procurement.

What is amazing is that the Greek population is angry with their government for this predicament.  The government gives the people what they want.  Government cannot pay for all of it and eventually goes broke.  People do not support cut backs on their paid holidays, paid retirement, paid health care, paid education for everyone, …  Welcome to nanny state land.  Accountability has been erased from their dictionary.

By the way, if Greece and most of the European countries has such ideal living conditions, then why is the net population movement from Europe to the USA?

The Democrats love Europe.  Obama loves Europe.  His changes for the USA are toward the European model for society. I have a suggestion for Obama and his Democrats – emigrate to Europe.  Stop trying to change the very fabric of our country.

Does any understand the Napoleonic Code?  Something about guilty until proven innocent I think …?  We should try that one with our Congressmen and Senators.

If you love the European model, then be my guest.  File papers.  Move to Europe.  I wish you only prosperity and good luck in your new home.

ADVICE FROM A RETIRED HUSBAND:

It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there’s nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.

My name is Jim. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Terri. When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Terri to get a full-time job along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home from work.

Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner.. I don’t yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men’s Grill at the club so eating out is not reasonable. I’m ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it’s not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner.

I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won’t clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.

Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. But, boys, we take ‘em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won’t have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn’t hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points.

When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break when she was only half-finished mowing the yard. I try not to make a scene. I’m a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while.. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me too.

I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Terri. I’m not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile After all, we are put on this earth to help each other.

Signed,
Jim

EDITOR’S NOTE:
Jim died suddenly on February 7 of a perforated rectum. The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra-long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5 inches of grip showing, and a sledge hammer laying nearby. His wife Terri was arrested and charged with murder. The all-woman jury took only 10 minutes to find her Not Guilty, accepting her defense that Jim, somehow without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club.

Most of us do not think that Islamic political figures and countries should be given preference over any other religious persuasions.  Perhaps Christian political figures and countries should be granted some preferential treatment as they are our roots.  More importantly, most of the President’s support comes from citizens who agree with the section of the constitution which makes a very definite separation between Church and State.

How does that work when their choice for President sends out a message to the Islamic nations of the world as almost his first act as President.  He ignores one of our prime allies – Israel.  He is disrespectful of British leaders and their Queen.  Then he apologizes for our behaviour as a nation – as being overly aggressive, imperalistic, and disrespectful – all this during two wars waged within Islamic nations – one of which he is winding down and one of which he is escalating.  Why was Bush’s war so vile?  Why is Obama’s war so righteous?

It was certainly not the intention of this design to attack all facets of our republic – finance, environment, major industries (brokerage, cars, insurance), health care, and so on.  I understand that President Obama has his vision of our country.  Perhaps he forgot that it is not his country, it belongs to all of us.  Perhaps he should try to fix one thing at a time.  To my reckoning, he has not fixed anything.

Several catch phrase have emerged…

This administration is like the dog who barks at the passing car, when he catches the car he has no idea what to do with it.

Life is made up of 3 steps

1. A – identify the problem
2. B – present solutions and solve the problem
3. C – enjoy life with the problem solved.

Our President needs to work on B.

I guarantee that our Founding Fathers did not envision a speed reader zipping through thousands of pages of legislation so that a committee vote could be called.

Furthermore, tabling over 500 pages of amendments to a bill with numerous place markers (will be filled in later?????) at 3 AM to try to avoid legal and revealing debate on a bill which will cost our country millions of manufacturing jobs in coming decades.

Hope, change, transparency – more like bs.
