We'll hear from people like Bruce Tower. Tower has prostate cancer. He wanted to take a drug that showed promise against his cancer, but the Food and Drug Administration would not allow it. One bureaucrat told him the government was protecting him from dangerous side effects. Tower's outraged response was: "Side effects -- who cares? Every treatment I've had I've suffered from side effects. If I'm terminal, it should be my option to endure any side effects."

People in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania have a warped sense of humor. It must be something in the coal-infused water.

What is it about certain people who are a danger to others that they arrogantly deny the harm they pose and defy the rules and regulations society has designed to minimize that danger? In a previous post I related the story of Mary Mallon who, despite being informed she was a carrier of Typhoid fever, defiantly continued to cook for others and continued to spread the disease.

In most countries around the world sleeping with your baby is the norm, not the exception. As a consequence, the incidence of SIDS in these countries is only a tiny fraction of what it is in the US where about 50% of parents do not sleep with their children.

If my state has stupid, needless and costly requirements on local insurance companies that mandates they must offer some absurd treatment I don't want, need or can afford, I can buy coverage much cheaper from an insurance company located in a state whose insurance division isn't run by morons.

Now that the Democrats have lost Ted Kennedy's seat and vote in the Senate, they will need to figure out how to ram the HealthCare Bill down our throats using even more secret meetings and backroom deals.

I have a solution to the Health Care Crisis: it's a beverage I concocted that I want our politicians in Washington to drink. It is important that they down this drink immediately.

I like to think I am consistent in my beliefs. I am opposed to the death penalty because I do not believe it is wise to grant government the right to kill its citizens. I do not trust our government to be able to administer the death penalty fairly or justly. Indeed, we are currently releasing dozens of innocent men who have spent many years in prison for murders they did not commit.

For the past few decades most European countries have expanded their public sectors into over-protective welfare states while America is practically the only developed country without universal health care (UHC).

I say, don't worry. If Obama continues with his socialist policies which mimics those of another moron who doesn't know what he's doing, namely, Executive President Robert Gabriel Mugabe of Zimbabwe, then there will be no problem paying trillions of dollars for Universal Health Care: we will simply issue a few banknotes to cover the costs

I propose that every man woman and child old enough to drive in their state be required to buy car insurance. Violators would be fined and or jailed. Those that cannot afford it would be able to put in for the government option.

The remnants of the sign you see here is all that's left of Gimbels department store warehouse between 31st and 32nd Streets. At one time, the largest department store chain in the country, Gimbels closed its doors in Herald Square in New York in 1987.

the Canadian government allows American hospitals to take in patients Canada cannot help, as a safety valve. Things have gotten so bad in the past few years, Canada has had to face the fact that private clinics now supply services for a fee that public clinics cannot supply for free

One of the dirty secrets of Canadian Health Care is that without the US health care system as a backup it would fail miserably. Becasue it is a rationed system, Canada Health Care does not have enough doctors, medical equipment or clinics to care of all Canadians.

what is more important than health care? I quickly answered myself: food care. Many of us can go decades through life without ever needing to see a doctor or need medical care; food on the other hand we need every day. So food care is one thing that the government should get involved in. I'm not saying food should be free, but rather that there should be a government option to the supply of food.

Before I discuss children fainting, let me first say: take your kid to the doctor. I write "doctor" rather than "health care professional" because you may be reading this a few years from now and if Obama gets his Health Care Bill passed the term "health care professional" will mean a government idiot bureaucrat although I am being redundant.

In a recent chat on a local bulletin board with J.C., a fellow Bayonne citizen, we were discussing the pros and cons of wax candles when he sadly reflected upon the removal of wax candles years ago in Bayonne churches and the switch to electronic ones. He hasn't lit a prayer candle since the change. "Its stupid. Whats spiritual about turning on a light bulb?" he opined.

There has been a rise recently in the popularity of colon cleansers in the United States even though there has been no definitive scientific research done to determine whether or not colon cleansing is helpful or not.

I know with absolute certainty that any program that "helps" the poor by taking money from someone else, actually hurts the poor. The Great Depression was a great depression instead of a short recession precisely because our government socialized our economy with measures that spent our monies on feel good projects that did absolutely nothing to improve the situation.

I was just thinking about some of the emails going around that say, "Hitler took over the car companies, then health care and then he killed the Jews." As if taking over car companies and then healthcare makes it a historical imperative that the killing of Jews follows.
