Born out of necessity Americas’ Forefathers knew that being medically self-sufficient was a matter of survival to the extent that in 1787 twenty four prominent Philadelphians founded the College of Physicians of Philadelphia http://www.collphyphil.org/erics/cpphistory.htm which is a not-for-profit educational and cultural institution dedicated to advancing the cause of health, and upholding the ideals and heritage of medicine. In fact, today Americas’ National Library of Medicine http://www.nlm.nih.gov/index.html founded in 1836 invites you to use their library online as they offer material dating from the 11^th Century to present. So why I hear some folks talk about taking healthcare back to what our Founding Fathers envisioned I wonder how many citizens today could handle the Healthcare System of Americas’ Forefathers. 

And why Americas’ Ancestors over the last 150 years have worked hard to bring every community a hospital and the medical facilities needed by their citizens, being only 50 years old I can still remember hearing stories of back street and backwoods operations taking place in the 1960’s. So when you hear someone that America has the best healthcare in the world, ask them from what viewpoint do they make that zealous claim. For why I can say with complete conviction that My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s have come a long way in ensuring Americas’ Community First Responders have worked hard to get every American to the hospitals and medical facilities in record time. Read the 2007 Joint Commission Report http://74.6.239.67/search/cache?ei=UTF-8&p=America%27s%27+hospitals+1970&fr=hp-psdt&SpellState=n-2276574654_q-nQ3tezO1BIxhqGvJoiF9lAAAAA%40%40&u=www.jointcommissionreport.org/pdf/JC_2007_Annual_Report.pdf&w=america%27s+america+hospitals+1970&d=NYt8fxlMTRaP&icp=1&.intl=us and then ask yourself can America do better. 

So why the Old Folks (those over the age of 30) may cry that the current Healthcare System works fine and that any reform is only going to hurt them. Seeing that the passing of Senator Kennedy proves that even with the best health insurance and medical care money can buy cannot keep a Human healthy. The question that “We the People” need to ask ourselves and Congress is what kind of Healthcare System does America need to provide Health Coverage and if need be Medical Coverage for the next generation of “We the People” in order that Our Government and Society can advance the cause of health and uphold the ideals and heritage of medicine.  

Because why none of us may know when the next breakthrough in bio-technology or discovery of a wonder drug will lead to you living over 100 years, did you know that there are things we can do right now that can greatly reduce medical costs while increasing the quality of care each human receives from Americas’ Healthcare System. For example; enhanced 911 Services can through remote screening and video up-link put our community first responders on the scene within seconds and help the ordinary citizen provide the first five minutes of healthcare so critical to saving the lives. And remote medical observation 24/7 in the comfort of your home with the help of new vital machines may someday lead to a Healthcare System that is beyond the wildest dreams of us all.  

So why I’m not going to say that Congress will every build the Perfect Healthcare System or be able to pay for Health Insurance for all Americans. Understanding that most Americans still can’t answer the simple question: Is a cut a Health or Medical Problem? And your grandparents will not allow me to exploit the difference between an Individuals’ General Practitioner and a Doctor of Medicine even if I would bring My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s a robotic medical staff thanks to the Youth of the 60’s. I can say with complete honesty that “We the People” have a long road to haul in order to meet the Vision of Americas’ Founding Fathers.

Knowing that My Peers will never allow you to hold your Community Elders feet to the fire given my argument, I do believe Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Officials could use some help given the sudden death of Senator Ted Kennedy. For why there does exist a viable political solution to the Healthcare Debate in front of Congress, Limited to speaking of what Americas’ Community First Responders Services can do to bend the increase costs of Medical Care and improve the Quality of Health Care, let see the No-Nothing Party say yes to Medical Dependency.

 Since you are going need to ask your grandparents why they will not permit me to exploit the difference between an Individuals’ General Practitioner and a Doctor of Medicine even if I bring My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s a robotic medical staff. Knowing that the Youth of the 60’s nearly burned down the world the last time Americas’ Elders attempted to explain the distinction, I do believe the Children of the 21^st Century has the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Right to revisit the Medical Industry having a monopoly on Medical Advice.

So why I can’t tell you what it is like to for an Individuals’ General Practitioner to have the capability of making house calls via a video up-link and the advances in remote screening. I can see how Congress providing Americas’ Community First Responders the ability to make Health Evaluations coming into their 911 Call Centers will show proof that America can reduce the unnecessary trips to the emergency rooms while raising the quality of Healthcare by having eyes and ears on the scene in a matter of seconds not minutes. Because why I realize that the advantages and disadvantages of having trained citizens on site within the first five minutes are critical in saving a Life, I do believe Americas’ Community Elders would be interested in learning how with remote screening the Community First Responders would be better prepared once they physically rolled up to the scene as well as giving the citizen requesting the assistance confidence that they can do what needs to be done until professional assistance arrives.

Because why I know that the current insurance business model was not designed for the American Consumer in mind, with Managed Personal Medical Savings Accounts I do believe the American Doctor and Patient can come to terms with what is a fair trade. For why I know your parents will draw the line at moving operations and certain medical procedures out of hospitals and medical facilities, I also know and have Good Faith that your Parents will not take another 30 years to learn more than they do not always need lights and sirens just to respond to a 911 Call for Assistance. Especially since we now have 3 $ 4 year olds knowing how to properly respond to a Medical Question. For what do you do when a Mothers Kiss and a Doctors’ Hand is not enough as an American Citizen?

If I told you that every American could have a complete medical staff at their beckon call in the 21^st Century, would you take the same political stance as President Obama? For inspired by his comment that he was not sure the average American could have the same medical coverage as the President of the United States of America. I’ll have to send him to the experts and his children to explain how to do a video up-link on the internet. For with the invention of Remote Medical Screening, I do believe that through Enhanced First Responders Services every American cannot only have equal access to the medical knowledge they need to make an informed decision, but have instant access to the medical staff of their choosing.

Yes, even though I hold the political view that Congress should outlaw any and all medical procedures and services so every American is treated equally and fairly. I realize that My Peers and Community Elders of the 70’s have invested heavily in seeing that every American had readily access to Doctors and Hospitals with such things as 911 Call Centers, Ambulances, and EMTs to fulfill the aspirations of Americas’ Ancestors over the past 100 years. And why I do believe that a lot of Civil Unrest comes from the fact that many Americans are awakening by the fact that when they leave the Doctors’ Office that the medical bill is not paid in full even when they have the Best Health Insurance in the Land as believed by Americas’ Forefathers. I also know that the Founding Fathers of America gave “We the People” great power to handle the runaway cost of Health Insurance and basic medical procedures and services. For to me, Common Sense dictates that if “We” lower the number of visits to the Doctors’ Office than you lower the payout of the Health Insurance Companies which forces (through regulations if necessary) the lowering of Personal Health Care Insurance. However, understanding why Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders are for better or worse Politically Unalienable Correct, I do believe that through Enhanced First Responders Services will help the next Generation become more enlightened about what it takes to become Medically Self-Sufficient.

Because why I may not be an expert in Enhanced First Responders Services nor tell you how to go about researching your medical needs, I do realize that in creating a Community 911 Remote Evaluation and Extraction Service for the 21^st Century that the entire Community Medical Services are just an Up-Link away. And why I know that there are more reasons to do than reduce the unnecessary trips to the doctors’ office or emergency room for all Americans, the benefits that it will give to the Government and Society remains Nameless in the Wilderness. Since, in having no personal experiences in Video Up-Link this Child of the 70’s knows better than to challenge the Political Freewill and Thinking of the Children of the 70’s when it comes to building a Better World than Their Parents.

As I watch the far right make a fool of itself I do believe that the far left needs to explain to them that Political Discord is an unfair debate. For just as soon as you say no to change health care reform the other side wins by default. Because unless you are willing to give the political position of removing all health care in America than building a Medical Industry capable of providing every American a better lifestyle is your only option. And why there are many paths to that end, I do believe that Political Discord is suppose to be directed at discussing with Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders the issue not trying to shout them down.

Yes, just like the Automotive Industry, the Medical Industry in America is already at the point where without the Government Assistance we would loss almost 1/6^th of our economy and health care coverage for all Americans. For if the Banks and Wall Street was almost belly up at the beginning of the year than I can’t think of one Health Insurance Company today that could prove their books were solvent for the next ten years. And why I’m not in for another round of bail outs, I do believe that a lot can be done by “We the People” over the next few years to help Congress pass a Comprehensive Health Care Plan that can deliver the medical services American need over the next 40 years as well as advance the Medical Industry in America to a whole new level. Since I do believe that once Americans figure out that with a Basic First-Aid class and some studying of Basic EMT training as the surest way to cut the cost of Health Insurance and have a conversation with your doctor, Health Care will never be the same again.

So please, unless you want to debate the total dismantling of the Medical Industry in America than grow up and realize that the Debate of Labor and Management is to discover a large enough government footprint that will open up more opportunities in the Medical Flied so the Elders and Powers-that-Be can make money regulating them. Now if those opportunities happen to be a way to save the American Consumer, Small Business Owner, and Taxpayer some money than I guess it is a Judgment Call by My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s. But remember this, just as the CEO’s and top management of the Automotive Industry had to come to terms with higher gas mileage to lessen the load of inflation. So will the Medical Industry have to realize that in order to stay in the Private Sector, they too will come to terms with the fact that the American Consumer, Small Business Owner, and Taxpayer are not going to stand still waiting for a train wreck to happen. Especially since, someday it will become Common Knowledge that one in America can be Self-Insured simply by having a Managed Personal Medical Savings Plan.

Thus, I encourage Political Discord with your Elected Official over any issue or question that comes along. For why you can’t force them to answer in Public, if you stay within the Unwritten Code of Conduct your parents told you about. You might get your answer in Private. Because if you haven’t figured it out by now, most of Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Officials love to hear civilized solutions from those they represent. But if you still want to kick and scream about “We the People” reforming Health Care as well as deny My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s their Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights. Than lets go Creek Jumping My Way and see how far you will go in promoting an America with no Health Care in front of Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders. Just remember the Political Discord is can America build a Medical Industry that promotes a Healthy Lifestyle.

Why I will not say that the Cash for Clunkers program designed by Congress and executed by Local Officials are without its faults; however, I do say it is hard to explain why giving the American Consumer a $4,500.00 tax cut to buy a new car that will not only lessen the expense of purchasing fuel, the impact on our health, and providing jobs to the masses. But has the unintended result of increasing the American Consumer, Small Business Owner, and Taxpayer Purchase Power at a time when the American Economy is shrinking happens to be a bad idea. No, the Loyal Opposition has a long road to haul if they think they can convince all Americans an investment of $4,500.00 for every car sold to the Private Sector is not worth the savings the American Taxpayer will see both in the Short and Long Term; nevertheless, I look forward to a debate on how increasing Consumer Purchase Power is a bad idea. For why I do believe the first billion was spent out of pent up rage of not being able to do nothing about Americas’ dependence on foreign oil. I do believe the faster Americans purchase automobiles of the 21^st century and retire the cars of the 20^th century; the faster Americans can afford the Trillion Dollar Health Care System being considered in Congress and Private Industry. Since it seems the money saved between the difference driving 12,000 at $.99 cents a gal. or paying $2.48 a gallon would provide the average American the funds to afford a decent health care insurance policy.

For if a $25,000 Cadillac Health Insurance Policy for every American Family is the goal of both Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders than I do believe the potential of every American Consumer, Small Business Owner, and Taxpayer making an additional $18,000.00 a year in Savings should put the wheels of the Left and Right spinning to find rhyme or reason for not support a new Automobile Revolution in America. Especially since History will show at the turn of the last century how Henry Ford used his influence as an American Baron to forever redefine the Industrial Revolution on the simple idea that his workers should be able to purchase the product that they were helping to build and live a comfortable lifestyle.

So why I wait for the Bad Boys of Detroit to bring to market a Zero Weight 100% Traction electric vehicle powered by the wind, I do believe it is in the Best Interest of My Peers and Community Elders to take advantage of the highest mpg cars and trucks available. While the Institutions of the Establishment to support the idea that someday President Obamas’ Vision of having an Electric Car capable of paying its owner to drive up Main St. and Down Wall Street. For I doubt if you can find anyone who is willing to say that they would not invest in a $4,500.00 tax credit for the opportunity of making over an $18,000.00 in instant return and all the good benefits that come with it. I do know it will take a loud voice from “We the People” to ensure that every American has that opportunity over the next 10-20 years. For just like first time Home Owners  are still given a tax credit for purchasing their house and the privilege of paying property taxes, so I think moderation should be shown in the Cash for Clunkers program that will allow first time new car owners keep reaping the reward of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

With all the news entertainment and radio commentators stuck on stupid and buying into the fact that health care reform is above the concerns or understanding of the average American, I do believe they need to get in touch with the Reality of America. For why I realize that saying the insurance companies and the government are the villains in the debate of Labor and Management makes for easy conversation, shouldn’t the Political Discord be about what Medical Industry will “We the People” support in the 21^st Century? For if you look at the medical industry in America at the turn of the last century and compare it to the one built by our Ancestors of the 20^th Century there is no question that Americans enjoy a better health care system than even our Parents of the 1960’s and 70’s.

For can you imagine an America without 911 or EMTs? Or what about a county hospital that doesn’t own the proper equipment to deliver a child or provide emergency services for all Citizens in America. No, the Left and Right can limit their debate is how the bottom line will decide what the average health insurance plan will cost the average American Consumer, Small Business Owner, and Taxpayer. However, every American needs to be aware of the fact that it was not until after the Social Revolution of the 60’s that the Government and Society was forced to change the way medical help was addressed in the country. Especially since I am even old enough to remember when the local funeral homes provided ambulances and EMT training was still an all volunteer community service.

So why you may hear voices in the wilderness crying that Americas’ Elected Officials are not trying to work out a compromise in Congress or that one side of the Political Coin is trying to get an advantage in the Debate of Shared Power. You might want to ask your local elected Congressional Representative and Senators about what type of Modern Medical Industry do they envision over the next 40 years. Because why they may not answer the question in public or private due to Principles and Standards, I do believe it will get the wheels turning in their brain to what Americans will accept to pay for or not. Because why I don’t stand in Loyal Opposition as Anti-Health Care, I do believe that any Health Care System of the 21^st Century that wants to promote “Living a Healthier Lifestyle” should address the issues that will lead to having a Private Medical Industry that can deliver the Goods. For why no profit is guaranteed, I do believe the fact that Health and Human Resources will not allow us to do away with All Emergency Services and Grandma will not stand for not allowing even the Poorest Human to go without a medical bed. The issue of Health Care in my opinion is much larger than whether Congress has to raise taxes and/or businesses have to raise their prices.

For why you will have to look up all the numbers for yourself and learn how Americans changed the Medical Industry in the last century. Looking out beyond the next 40 years I wonder if someday the average American Home will have a medical device that will allow every family member to have their health checked daily. Especially since if you asked someone 40 years ago if the Medical Industry could provide the average citizen with a personal life saving device, I do believe that you would find the same answer. So please, why I know that it would be nice to do an Extreme Medical Industry Makeover. Discover for yourself what your local Elected Officials think the next generation of Community Medical Services should look like? And then be ornery
