Comments on: US Old Media Virtually Silent As UK Severely Restricts Use of Alzheimer’s Drug http://www.bizzyblog.com/2007/08/20/us-old-media-virtually-silent-as-uk-severely-restricts-use-of-alzheimers-drug/ The Business End of the Blogosphere Mon, 13 Oct 2008 00:33:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Brian http://www.bizzyblog.com/2007/08/20/us-old-media-virtually-silent-as-uk-severely-restricts-use-of-alzheimers-drug/#comment-116415 Brian Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:22:37 +0000 http://www.bizzyblog.com/2007/08/20/us-old-media-virtually-silent-as-uk-severely-restricts-use-of-alzheimers-drug/#comment-116415 To add to point #5, look at the whole industry of cosmetic surgery. Prices have come down and the specialization of the procedures have improved, all without government interference. Sure there are some problems one would see on 20/20, but overall the industry has fewer problems than the main stream medical community. As for point #2, I'll refrain from commenting only not to detract from the central thread. But I disagree and can explain at another time.

I did a post on Lasik a while ago that you motivated me to find and add as an update. #3 & #4, I saw Luskin’s entry during the past 30 days or so as I absorbed the reality of Coingate.

Believe me, as the rest of the world has seen, the more government is involved in health care, the cost, quality, and satisfaction all go down together.

I think Ron Paul had a lot of potential until he played the “let\'s understand them” game with terrorism. I do not think that is spinnable. And anyone looks good on security compared to Hillary and Obama. I also do not think that winning the WOT and making the medical system more free-market, not less, are incompatible objectives. The threat of nationalized health care is a serious one, though, that has potential to, among many other bad things, turn euthanasia-lite into national policy virtually undetected.

Besides Romney, one can conclude based upon their track records that Rudy and McCain would. I also think that Huckebee would too. I could be wrong though. So with out coming across as a Ron Paul commercial, who does that leave; Hunter, Tancredo and Paul? I would think that this group would not endorse national health care. In the end when we consider the disastrous effects of a national health care system, we are not served very well by the GOP or our republican politicians because they are be led down the road to serfdom by the MSM. What bothers me most of all when I read fellow SOB weblogs is that this group is willing to look the other way all for some nebulas belief that somehow they will be “more secure” with Rudy, McCain, or Romney. But how secure are you going to be as a national health care gets implemented along the same model as the post office or AMTRAC? What should we be afraid of 50 al-Qaeda Islamist or the enlargement of government as it takes over the full means of health care? Tom;
