You can force people to buy insurance.You can force insurance companies to insure people. But you can't force people to be Doctors,and there lies the fatal flaw in Obamacare. It takes a lot of time,schooling ,training, and, yes , money to become a doctor. Why then would I want to become a doctor if I can't profit from it? Why would I want to be a doctor if I can't even pay back my school loans? Answer ; I wouldn't, and many doctors are now contemplating retirement rather than letting the gov't. tell them how much they can make .That's not the governments business. That's between the doctor and his patient. And, surprise, surprise, many doctors that will continue their practices will simply refuse to take insurance , and will work only on a cash basis. Not only will this profit the doctors, but will also bring down the cost of medical treatment in general. Besides, Insurance is an overrated , Un-American concept. If it's guaranteed, it's not insurance. That's forced charity, better known as welfare. That's not America. Risk is America. I've never been insured in my life. I don't believe in insurance. Why? Because there's no risk. Risk is what life is all about. Charles Lindburgh once said,"A life without risk is not worth living". He was right. The spirit of risk is what made America great. Would any American prefer we didn't risk breaking away from England? Or that the early settlers didn't risk crossing the dangerous unexplored parts of our country? Or that the first Astronauts didn't risk a flight to the moon? Risk, my fellow Americans , risk is what this country is all about .It's why we're the greatest nation on earth.Each day brings uncertainty . There are no guarantees of life, health , or hapiness,nor should there be. Without risk , the spirit of man withers and dies. Without struggle and hard times, we cannot survive. Life is not eating, drinking, and sleeping. Life is the challenges we face every day, and the obstacles we overcome ourselves, as individuals, as free men, as Americans. Obama's lack of the spirit of risk is why he has been labled an "amateur" by Iranian leader, Ahmadenejad.Risk is how you play the political game. By playing it safe, our enemies perceive him as weak, and his constant pre-occupation with attacks against his policies , not to mention his removal of a nuclear threat against our enemies prove that he is indeed the "amateur" that A-Jad labled him. President Bush was a professional . He risked war with Iraq. He risked antagonizing our enemies. He risked tax cuts that drew anger and resentment from the left . That's what leaders do. He was proven right on all these risks , and during eight years of Bush bashing, calling the president everything from a Nazi to a liar that engineered 9-11, he never responded , never reacted , never varied, never waivered. That's the sign of a true professional , grace under pressure. And it's a lesson the amateur Obama needs to learn. Will he risk it? He needs to learn from the master of the game, President Bush, because when it comes to the "Art of War" , that's the game that he played best. |
