How come the people on the news find all these answer 's about stupid health problems?

We Answered:

Podiatrists are saying they see a lot of foot injuries with flip flops. If you've not had one, it does not prove them wrong. You've simply been lucky.

The other problem are long term effects from flip flop use. I'm assuming you're very young, so you naturally wouldn't be seeing these problems yet. They can cause harm to your feet, legs, and back.

It's not a rumor. It's medical fact.

Even today I hear liberals talking about lowering health care costs. Did they not see the news last night?

The ideologies of Marxism/ socialism/ communism have infected our American culture. Because Americans who lived in eras where these ugly ideologies wreaked havoc on the world were critical of them, proponents began to call themselves something more appealing- "progressives". In socialism, a central government controls the production of goods services for equal distribution to all members. Communists typically employ this by more militant means. Progressives more cunningly achieve this by entitlement programs, law, regulation burdensome taxation.

Despite their hopeful sounding name, progressives utilize the constant mantra of "change" are generally intolerable of anything traditional that provides social structure, including concrete morals, religious teachings original meanings of the U.S. Constitution, hence the moral digression. They have a tendency to confuse earned privileges with entitlements then accuse the opposition of withholding so-called "rights". They popularized "political correctness" redefined "tolerance" "diversity". They frown upon "old ways of thinking" (President Obama's own words). Interestingly, the majority of today's Democratic politicians are members of socialist "progressive" caucuses.

One can examine our culture today see evidence of such Marxist ills: The current health care bill makes federal funding for abortion accessible to lower class women who, with their children, would be considered a drain on the system amounts to eugenics (selective human breeding); Aversion to all things religious, i.e. controversies over 10 Commandment monuments, traditional marriage, etc.; Government control of businesses, like with bailouts, carbon taxes health care business takeovers; Totalitarian rule similar to how the current Administration Majority members are behaving, i.e. the unprofessional tongue lashing the President gave Republicans Supreme Court Justices in the State of the Union Address. Other things are more subtle like indoctrination through educational systems, media other propaganda. These have all been practiced by despotic regimes of the past that America considered her enemies detested because of their depraved philosophies resultant brutalities.

Consider the failing socialistic entitlement program of Social Security. Their recent publication stated the "Board of Trustees now estimates that based on current law, in 2041, the Trust Funds will be depleted. Because people are living longer and the birth rate is low, the ratio of workers to beneficiaries is falling." It went on to "reassure" me that it could still "pay about $780 for every $1,000 in benefits scheduled." Nice ROI. We've tried socialism its not financially sustainable, proving once again the government can do a worse job managing investing your money than you can. Do you really want an amoral, money-hungry government in your health care business? Our government is way out of its functional jurisdiction of providing order national security.

Moral issues notwithstanding, giving control of various things to the government equals giving up personal freedom. Many fought to obtain our freedoms for us. We must fight to maintain our freedom or we will have to fight harder to get it back. Progressives, keep your change. I'll keep my freedom. Encourage your representatives today to vote down costly Obamacare any big government legislation.

Did anyone read the news story in today's Yahoo News about the health care bill?

We Answered:

With insurance costs continuing to rise, it makes sense to pay the fines, pay the extra taxes, give the employee a small raise, and still find your company spending less than you would contintuing to buy insurance.
People benefit from that by not getting sick and needing health care; otherwise, they come out on the short end of the stick.
The government's goig to have to do something about the people who no longer have employee-sponsored insurance, so those fines are going to be eaten away by the problems with which they're associated.
And in contradistinction to that answer about the "public option," I fail to see how companies dropping employee insurance to let their employees make do in one system is different from having them do so to let their employees make do in another.
The bottom line here is that health care financing is in transition. This new set of laws will not stand, and we'll wind up either with some European style universal coverage or we'll go to a dog-eat-dog system with nobody, or only a few, insured at all. We can't stick with what we have, so we'll have to pick one direction or the other.

Why are all the major health care stocks down today? Shouldn't they be up on the good news of Brown's election?

We Answered:

Because Brown won't be doing anything to change the status quo and the current situation (regardless if you look at it from the Dem or Rep perspective) is well-known to be broken.
