I usually try to keep my political views out of this blog, but in this case I think that the issue is important enough to break that code. President Obama and his staff are trying to reform the health care system in the United States. There's a lot that I think is broken, and though I am happy with my current coverage for the most part (a price break would be nice, though), there are millions of people without health care in this great nation of ours.
The Obama administration is feeling a little headwind on their plans for reform -- some from the health care industry who would have to clean up their act and play fairly, at some loss of revenue, and some by those who are just opposed to anything that the Democrats do. There's a lot of fighting, discussing, arguing, debating, posturing and politicking going on all over right now.
The American Medical Association has weighed in on the new Obama health care proposals.
The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, Grow up!"
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter...."
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. The Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the asses in Washington...
'Nuff said.
