As a citizen who can carry on an intelligent conversation with most doctors I do believe that in whole President Obama has the right idea about reforming the health industry; however, the problem has been is getting the Members of Congress to understand his guidelines. For with the House Bill certainly not being Budget Neutral and none of the Senate Bills having offering any innovations that have stopped the generations of yesterday from meeting the medical needs of a growing population of seniors. I have to wonder if the Democratic and Republican Leadership realizes that the Health Insurance Companies are in serious peril of becoming insolvent. For why we hear all the talk o healthcare and costs, where is the health education that will show the American Public that like AIG and the Financial Institutes the Health Industry needs to be restructured so that future generations do not have to pay for a massive system failure.

Yes, you would think that an industry that accounts for 1/6^th of the economy would be solvent especially after the latest global meltdown. But seeing the regulators has allowed the industry to raise their rates three times more than the average wages should send a clear message that the Private Sector is in more serious trouble than Medicare. For why I don’t know the exact numbers or how financially secure the Health Insurance Companies are after this latest economic meltdown, although Common Sense tells me that the fact they are no longer paying their bills dollar for dollar means that they too lost big time as the money they had invested in the market evaporated. And why I doubt if the Members of Congress could get a single accountant or economist to expose how serious the problem of insolvency has become or which companies can survive if nothing is done now to fix the Medical Bubble. I do believe President Obama needs to use his address tonight to open the eyes of the American People and Congress on why Healthcare Reform is needed.

Because why I shouldn’t worry about if everyone loses their health insurance or corporations have to spend more and more of their profits to provide health coverage for their CEO’s and top management. Nevertheless, seeing the opportunities that can come by Congress finding a Budget Neutral Solution to the age old question of making health insurance affordable to every American you would think that the Left and Right could see where President Obamas’ Vision of Commerce and Industry building an electric car that would pay its owner for driving to and from work as well as around town can begin to solve the Healthcare problems of today. For why many things can be done to lower the cost of how Americans receive medical treatment I do believe that both the Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders are going to have to come to term with the fact that over the next 5-10 years the Private Insurance Companies are going to need a large infusion of cash and restructuring to remain a viable economic player in the health industry.

Thank God the Founding Fathers of America knew that a High School Graduate could be smarter than a Harvard Professor using Common Knowledge and Common Sense. For why I am glad to see that Law Enforcement realized that getting locked out of your house may get one upset. I do believe the Professor should have known that such a stunt would require him to show Proof of Residence if the police drove by or was called to the property. For just as a citizen has to show Proof of Ownership before the police can unlock your car today, the times have changed from the days when the local Law Enforcement helped crooks gain illegal entry. So please, why I realize that some may call it racial profiling or denying the Professor of his Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights. The fact that this long haired White Male could and would have been charged with impeding a Law Enforcement Agent from carrying out his lawful duties  by overstepping My Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights as an Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature and going on a rampage does not mean the Professor suffered racial profiling.

Instead in My Opinion, the Harvard Professor should have thanked the Police Officer for insuring that the persons entering the house actually lived there. And then if he had any questions on how the Police Officer conducted himself, he did have the option to ask the Individual for his badge number and the name of his supervisor. For whether it was to complain or give praise about what happened would have been a personal thing. And though he still might have been stone walled by the cop, a simple call to the local Police Station and who responded to the address would be a matter of the record.

Yes, I could believe that the police officers that showed up at the Professors’ home might have not used good judgment especially if they were rookies; however, having had my fair share of dealing with local Law Enforcement and knowing that they can no longer take for granted that a sharp dressed man is a Righteous Gentleman. I do believe that the cooler heads at the police station did the right thing by calling it a misunderstanding and drop the charges. For I can say from personal experience, that being aggressive toward a Law Enforcement Agent attempting to carry out his lawful duties will get you a trip downtown.  So before you call it racially motivated, the Professor needs to ask himself if he was respecting the Law and not just ranting over being caught at locked out of his own home.
