Drs. Barasso and Coburn, Senate Republicans, on health care reform, three webcasts to date.

As they say here in Red Sox land, WICKED interesting.

I was promised CHANGE!

I’m sure once our free-healthcare-farting unicorns show up, we’ll all get with the Socialist program.

If we take care of the front side, it would reduce the strain on the back side. Kind of like a diet, fruits and vegatables are good for you but desserts and soda taste better.

In my utopia:

Nutrition and physical exercise in school everyday from pre-K -to- graduation. Required immunizations (no exceptions) for all children and adults.
Medicare and Medicaid clinics available in the hospital district where patients can be immediately referred to for care and follow-up care. Required education for patients and families with chronic illnesses like COPD, CHF, and Diabetes.

I know, I know; keep dreaming.

I love you, man…

Is there any reason to believe that universal health coverage wouldn’t quickly become equivalent to universal eligibility for Medicare and Medicaid?

Are we not allowed to learn from the many obvious flaws of those glorious Medi*s?
