ObamaCare is Like Federal School Lunch

Just a few ideas on ObamaCare:

• Not many kids now like Federal school meals. There's lots of waste; much of the lunch is thrown away. Would be better to give each student an LDC Lunch Debit Card and let them use their cell-phones to punch in what they will eat, and have McDonalds or Burger King deliver to the school from a list of approved and balanced meals.

• They could have an online Weight Watchers-like account that would allow them to keep track of the Points they use, thus teaching them good nutritional practices.

• Health care Federal-style would be similar to the Federal Lunch program. But at least every child gets a meal, the Left would say. However, the Market (which is to say the People) would make billions of individual decisions better than a bureaucrat sitting at a desk who knows only statistical spreads of data, and not individuals.

• This Leftist generation rails on "evil corporations" - large impersonal organizations of suits - which leave oils spills, deny the poor their rights of health care, and so on. Yet, there is no larger and more frightening levianthan of corporation of thought than the Federal Government!

• A woman asked Ben Franklin: What have you given us? He replied: A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it.

• I don't know that this nation of children clamoring for a King can stand up to the rigors of a Republic - the intellectual, physical, budgetary, financial and emotional requirements of self-governance.

• That woman who told the media, after Obama was elected: I don't have to worry about paying my mortgage, or my bills or nuthin' now! The fact of such people who clamor for a king, is erroding the structure of freedom to decide the trillions of daily decisions that are impossible for a central committee to make.

• And yet we must take care of our poor!

• One way would be to let me give the $1,000 dollars left over in my Flexible Spending Account at the end of the year to some entity which would distribute that remainder to a poor family in my area. Let me be free to make such a decision!

Just a few considerations from a free citizen, not so sure Obama is making the best decisions about our health care.
