KICKIN' AND SCREAMIN'...........

Are you ready for a Jindal/Palin or Palin/Jindal ticket? Watch this first:
 

Now, to that ticket thing: Rodger also mentioned this when posting the above video:

Like Sarah Palin, Rep. Michelle Bachman, and a few others, Jindal walks the walk. After deconstructing the democrat’s Obamacare premises, Jindal offers his reforms. Here’s some.
“ •Consumer choice guided by transparency. We need a system where individuals choose an integrated plan that adopts the best disease-management practices, as opposed to fragmented care. Pricing and outcomes data for all tests, treatments and procedures should be posted on the Internet.

•Aligned consumer interests. Consumers should be financially invested in better health decisions through health-savings accounts, lower premiums and reduced cost sharing.

•Medical lawsuit reform. The practice of defensive medicine costs an estimated $100 billion-plus each year, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, which used a study by economists Daniel P. Kessler and Mark B. McClellan. No health reform is serious about reducing costs unless it reduces the costs of frivolous lawsuits.

•Pooling for small businesses, the self-employed, and others. All consumers should have equal opportunity to buy the lowest-cost, highest-quality insurance available. Individuals should benefit from the economies of scale currently available to those working for large employers.

I think it is time for just such a ticket. Fuck Romney and his centrist RINO ass!
 

Did you know that under Obama-Care there would be race preferences imposed upon medical schools?

Under the Democrats’ health care bill, if a medical school wants to increase its chances of receiving many different kinds of grants and contracts from the federal government, it should have a demonstrated record of training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups. This is because the Democrats’ health care bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to give preference to the entities that have demonstrated such a record in the awarding of these contracts to medical schools and other institutions.

The bill does not state what would qualify as a “demonstrated record”, so we can expect medical schools and the other entities to do whatever they think they can get away with to train as many “individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups” as they think they might need to have a better “demonstrated record” in this regard than other entities competing for the grants and contracts. The Democrats’ health care bill creates a very significant financial incentive for medical schools and other entities to lower admission standards for “individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups” if that is what it takes to have the winning “demonstrated record”.

I almost lost the link to this story so after a bit of digging around the inter-tubes, I found it again.

Don’t you just love it when Obama tells us we need to have health care reform (which will severely limit what and when we get any) while at the same time crowing about how great his is?

Obama says it’s not about him. “I have great health insurance and so does every member of Congress,” the president said in remarks prepared for his news conference Wednesday night. “This debate is about the letters I read when I sit in the Oval Office every day, and the stories I hear at town hall meetings. This debate is not a game for these Americans, and they cannot afford to wait for reform any longer.”

But confidence in his approach is slipping. Independents, middle-of-the-roaders who were vital for Obama’s election, are increasingly skeptical. Forty-seven percent disapprove of how he is handling health care, up from 30 percent in April, the AP poll shows.

Before we leave, you have to ask yourselves this: “why are we having to change our health care system when over 80% of Americans are very happy with what they have?”
