Diversity vs. Necessity...Jackassery wins every time...

Health experts warn against complacency in fighting viruses

Okay...so how do we address that?

Muslim doctors and nurses are to be allowed to opt out of strict hygiene rules introduced by the NHS to restrict the spread of hospital superbugs.

Unbelievable ignorance to appease...

Fiscal?...Noooo....I said "Fist Full"

Only a month into the Obama administration we have reached the point at which words have lost their ordinary meaning and there is no shame in making the most brazenly hypocritical pronouncements. Let’s start from the top. “Reforming” heath care does not, I guarantee you, mean the government will spend less money. It might seem like that’s the case since the president is bringing it up in the context of fiscal responsibility.

Jennifer Rubin of Commentary Magazine's "Contentions" takes the Washington Post to the woodshed and reads between the lines on health care.

The unintentional hilarity is buried a number of paragraphs down in the Post’s report which acknowledges that ”with this year’s deficit projected to approach a record $1.5 trillion, Obama said he would reduce the budget gap to $533 billion by the end of his first term in office.” Let me think about this. Couldn’t we have shrunk it a lot more than that without Nancy Pelosi’s trillion dollar pork-a-thon? And imagine what we’d be able to accomplish with a much reduced omnibus spending package.

I would have bet against the Obama Administration being able to actually accomplish a "redistribution of wealth" in any significant magnitude. And yet...

Canadian Quandary...

If Obama screws up the American health care system, where the Hell are Canadians supposed to go?

Heh...Kate at Small Dead Animals always makes me laugh...and cry.

Liberal MP Belinda Stronach, who is battling breast cancer, travelled to California last June for an operation that was recommended as part of her treatment, says a report.

Seems a tad hypocritical...and ironic.

"I'm a born-bred Canadian, as well as my daughter and son, and I'm ashamed," Jill Irvine told FOX News. Irvine's daughter, Carri Ash, is one of at least 40 mothers or their babies who've been airlifted from British Columbia to the U.S. this year because Canadian hospitals didn't have room for the preemies in their neonatal units.

Seems a tad sad and...well...unconscionable. But...worry not, Kate.

There's always Mexico!!!

There is one significant risk, however. Malpractice insurance is one reason that US care is so expensive. In Mexico, there are no laws governing malpractice; if something goes wrong in your surgery, you do not have the right to sue your doctor in Mexico. So, the cost is less, but the risk is significantly more.

Come on....DOUBLE SIXES !!!!
