Why I know that Congress has worked hard to get a healthcare reform bill, but if Americans are going to lower the cost of healthcare and their insurance than we are going to have to find another way to obtain their Health and Medical Needs. For just like in the Early 1970’s when Over the Counter Drugs where greatly expanded so most Americans could Self-Medicate their ills so I do believe that most Health and Medical Advice can be greatly expanded. For why I can understand why the Establishment in the 60’s was forced to take control of the Health and Medical Industry or risk taking America back to the days when Snake Oils were sold as cure I hope My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s will look at all the ways your children can improve Elderly Care in America.

Because gone are the days were you grow up with the same doctor offering health and medical advice, in fact, I suppose you would get yelled at if you took your infant to many of today’s doctors. And why that is not saying that Specialized Medicine does not have its place in Government and Society, but faces the reality that as you grow up (not old) the Self-Knowledge and Wisdom needed to stay healthy changes. Yet, given the shortage of General Practitioners and those Doctors of Medicine who specialize in Elderly Medical Procedures and Services, I do believe that like Day Surgery many more Myths can be busted.

For who among the Baby Boomers want to be warehoused in their Golden Age? In fact, I would be willing to bet that the Children of the 70’s are not going silently to hospitals and rest homes. No, with such Elderly Services as Meals on Wheels and other in home services that allows a senior to stay in their own home until their final day I imagine that with the expanded services of the internet and the Post Office you can get everything you need delivered to your door with just a few clicks of a mouse or a phone call.

For why the Health Reform Bill of 2009 may be more about laying the framework for such things to happen, I’m afraid that the Children of the 21^st Century as well as some of My Community Elders and Peers are going to have to learn that the Government and Society of “We the People” does not have an Auto-Pilot, but a group of dedicated Individuals and Institutions which are fortunate enough to call themselves Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders trying to manage the American Baron. . And why they have Our 911 Call Centers, Ambulances, and EMTs of the 70’s to build upon, ask Your Children if they cannot see the Day when the Family Doctor starts teaching Americans how to become “Medically Self-Sufficient” just because they get weary of answering the questions of Common Illnesses. So please, why Congress does have to do something about the power grab of the Health and Medical Industries Now! I do hope that you will advice your children that they should demand better Services and Procedures from their Community Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes.

What do you call it when a person misses the opportunity to show Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Officials that there is a Viable Private Business Solution to Americas’ Health Insurance Issue? Well, watching the Hannity Show this weekend I was shocked when I realized that the host was so caught up into bashing the Obama Healthcare Reform Plan that he overlooked Doctor John Muney as he spoke about offering his patients a $79.00 monthly Health Care Package instead of dealing with the health insurance companies. For why the experts and pundits can debate if it was done out of Arrogance or Ignorance, I wonder how it feels to give your political opponent the ammunition needed to revoke the Anti-Trust Status of the Health Insurance Companies. Given that I still haven’t found a single American who can tell me the last time the health insurance companies invested in affordable healthcare

For why I realize that such opportunity has the potential to harm many uninformed patients, I also see the potential for the Community General Practitioners to get paid answering the Health and Medical Questions of their Patients. Something it seems the health insurance companies are unwilling to pay for. Yet, IMHO essential if an American is going to become medically self-sufficient. Nevertheless, as a way to directly lower the cost for about 80% of the Health and Medical Care an Individual needs to live a productive life I do hope that President Obama and Congress will speak with the Powers-that-Be and find a Viable Political Solution so America can keep enjoying both Community and Private Health and Medical Procedures and Services.

However, I do believe the one crudity about this particular political shooting star is that the No-Nothing Party has been silenced by one of their own. For how can you say you are against the Obama Plan when by default you proved that Affordable Healthcare for all Americans can be achieved? 

So please be nice to Hannity for he may not know what he did, but on the off chance he did I do hope that My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s and Their Children will hold him to the same Principles and Standards that you do for this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature.

If you were given the choice between investing in your Community Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes or keep paying the health insurance companies, which one would you vote for? Now, is there any question why some on the Left and Right fear the Public Option? Could it be like politics, Health and Medical Care is a Local Issue. For why the CEOs of the Health Insurance Companies could learn a lesson from the Oil Companies raising the prices of their goods and services so high that it caused a global meltdown which created the banks around the world to need a bailout when many of their costumers where not in the position to continue to invest in a High Price 20^th Century Market. I do hope that President Obama and Congress can look at the next 100 years and come up with a plan that challenges the Children of the 21^st Century to come up with a way to make Health and Medical Care affordable in their community.

For why you’ll have to ask your parents why America has Community and Private Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes, I do believe that the Charlatans and Vagabonds of Washington might want to rethink their ideas of Healthcare. Especially since one could say that the American Consumer is looking for an answer to their Health Question long before they start asking for Medical Advice from a Doctor of Medicine. Because why I have no control over what changes will help My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s keep up with their children, already knowing that the Youth of Today goes on-line to look up the health problem I can only guess at how far the Elders can bend the cost of doing healthcare as more Patients become informed.

Because why I can’t complain about the system built by My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s, someone needs to inform Glen Beck that it is learning to ask the right questions that matters. For if this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature can see the day when the average citizen could get their health questions answered by a qualified worker instead of paying for Medical Advice from an already stressed out Doctor of Medicine. I do wonder why most Americans and Institutions do not take more interest in becoming an Informed Patient. Yet, still the Health and Medical Care Systems comes under fire which will require the Leaders of the 21^st Century to be smarter and still keep the promise that every American can get affordable healthcare.

So, in keeping with no strings attached let me ask you what would the cost of healthcare be in your community if the Hospitals was outfitted with the latest equipment for every illness found among the citizenry. And don’t forget about the Staffs pay for the year plus their housing if you are going to pay them low enough wages that will keep them out of the housing market. Plus, the medical supplies and of course all the other expenses it takes to meet the healthcare needs. Now, add in Natural Disasters and Acts of God as well as the medical emergencies introducing their own twist on the subject and you still haven’t got close to what Americas’ Senators and House Members must look at in the bill before them. But please, why you do need to watch the Democratic and Republican Elected Officials IMHO, don’t tell them that they do not know what they are talking about until you walk a few miles in their shoes. For why National Change is possible, I do believe the new opportunities opening up for the American Entrepreneur and Small Business Owner will inspire the next generation to learn more about how to live a healthier life. Seeing that bending the cost of healthcare is directly linked related to teaching your Parents and Grandparents how to be Informed Patients.

With 4897 hospitals http://www.statehealthfacts.org/profileind.jsp?ind=394&cat=8&rgn=1 in America one would have to believe that each administration will have over $100,000,000.00 in unpaid bills ($489,700,000,000.00) over the next 10 year just to put a dent in the healthcare reform bill making its way through Congress. Yet, seeing that many of these facilities are already paid for and has been equipped over the last 30 years at the Taxpayers Expense I am amazed that a simple Google search will not allow me to access the Average Annual Hospital Budget or the projected needs of the Medical Staff. In fact, other than knowing that the Health and Medical Leaders are calling for more money to provide procedures and services that they already refute as unnecessary or unable to fund or keep paying out million dollar bonuses I haven’t heard even one good reason why America needs more hospitals or medical facilities.

Yet, here we are ready to spend almost another $ 1 trillion dollars over the next 10 years up and beyond the billions all ready slated to be spent on a single sector of society and still that is not good enough for the loyal opposition to President Obama and the American Public. So, instead of calling for boycotts, strikes, and other civil disobedient I wonder how much more the Americans Corporations are willing to give up before they drop the hammer. Because why just a few years ago the Health and Medical Industry had less than 1/6^th of the Economy, I wonder if the Barons of Medicine will even stop until they own 100% of the Market. Especially since one can make the argument that it will take the entire Workforce to deal with the Retirement of the Baby Boomers.

Thus, the Members of Congress and the other Special Interest Groups need to take a moment and THINK! For why does the same simple medical procedure that cost $1,000.00 in 1999 now seem to cost $3,000.00 with a projected increase to over $6,000.00? Could it be that new breakthroughs have lowered the costs? How about a new pill that eliminates the medical procedure altogether? No, well other than Profits and Big Bonuses to the Top Management how much of the new funds will go to increase the pay of the Medical Staff? Yes, the Healthcare System in America is full of abuse by everyone; nevertheless, the idea that we can throw more money at the problem without demanding change from the top to the bottom is just in my opinion kicking the health crisis down the road.

So why I realize it is hard for most Americans to understand that the Health and Medical Industry are taking in more money than the Consumers, Small Business Owners, and Taxpayers can afford even if you consider their lifetime payments. Short of mandating price and taking away the Health Administrations’ Tax Deductions what other pressure can be put on these Private Businesses seeing that the Oil Companies attempted the same thing a few years ago.

Why the Cap and Trade Bill may send many of the CEO’s of the 20^th century running to bar the doors, I have a funny feeling that the CEOs’ of the 21^st Century are going to win the debate when Grandma learns that “We the People” are talking about putting America on the pathway to Energy Independence. For why I may not tell her why I know that America can do it. Given the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights of Mr. Joe Corporation let us see if I can help the Children of My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s see the Beast that they must Master. For why I will admit that if it was up to Mr. Joe Corporation Nothing would Matter; however, knowing that he meet Miss Jane Corporation and had a Little John Corporation the idea of “I Don’t Care” is no longer an option now is it? 

So doesn’t opposing Renewable Energy and new revenues of savings and following the 20^th Century burning of fossil fuel sound a lot like those at the turn of the last century who said that Man would never fly and the automobile would never replace the horse. Now, the Democratic and Republican Elected Officials can debate on how Americas’ Private Corporations work to make Energy Self-Sufficient a Reality for the America Consumer, Small Business Owner, and Taxpayer, but seeing that the Children of the 21^st Century have a 100 years to figure out how to build a 3 Giga Watt Energy Free Society I’ll keep my bet that it can be done by Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders.

Because with the many examples of Individuals and Businesses already leading the way with the new opportunities in energy I would encourage Mr. Joe Corporation to go talk with Little John Corporation on how going “Green” can greatly reduce or eliminate their monthly energy bills to the Oil and Power Companies. For why I realize that some corporations like American Steel will still need to use some fossil fuel to make their product, as a Child of the 70’s I do believe that the Coal and Oil Companies need to work on other uses of their resource if they are to stay a viable corporation well into the next century. Since why 100 years ago Electricity may have lost the National Debate on Energy, I wonder if Mr. Joe Corporation cares to bring his son and  me empirical proof that the Global Economy can expand to meet the needs of the Citizens of the World for the next 100 years still burning fossil fuel.

For why the average American in the 20^th Century grew up believing that they had to pay for energy, like Americas’ Forefathers I do hope that I will see the day when every American learns how to make the energy they need to provide their family basic needs can come from harnessing the wind as it travels across their backyard.
