Comment on: Rajjpuut's Folly

The Truths (No One Wants to Hear) about Health Care #1

WHat about Rajj is more irritating

I can't decide if it's his flawed logic or the visually irritating color scheme in his blog.

Hey, Rajj... you'll convince more people that your inane rants are worthwhile if make your blog ALL CAPS, BOLD and UNDERLINED.

???

Wow. What a lot of misinformation, half-truths and hogwash!

What is your source for the wasted expenditure of medical dollars? I've done considerable reading and research into this issue, not to mention the personal experience I have in the medical profession, and I've never heard those stats before.

Autoimmune conditions are most certainly treatable, but not by accu-needles and voodoo dolls. The use of intravenous immunogammagloblulin, a natural product produced in everyone, has demonstrated symptom reversal that is nothing short of miraculous in conditions ranging from neurologic to risk pregnancies.

You don't seem to know your history. In the days prior to the FDA the numbers of deaths related to contaminated foods and whackjob medicines and treatments was hugely significant. Are they perfect? Not at all. Are they better? You betcha!

Doctors treat patients. Patients have diseases, pain, trauma, psychological problems that may or may not manifest somatically. Treatments vary, depending on way too many factors to list here -- admittedly, a whole lot of those factors are what's wrong with medicine in America today, and most are attributable to lawsuits and government meddling, such as insurance mandates.

Please, please don't put some National Enquirer adverts into your upcoming blogs to address the very real medical conditions you listed!

Condemnation before the fact

PDX DAVE and Maureen001 have certainly shown a great tolerance for facts (not opinions) that conflict with their cherished BELIEFS. I especially like PDX's inability to show evidence for what he's saying and Maureen's willingness to defend the evil status quo by quoting the party line . . .

Thinkers, NOT . . .

EVil Status Quo... created by Democrats

The Democrats CREATED the "evil status quo" so they are hardly the ones to fix it.

PDX thinks I'm in favor of Obamacare?

indicate he's unaware of how totally pathetic I consider Obamacare. As mentioned in my earlier 26 blog series "A Far Better Alternative" of the 44 points I bring up Obamacare only addresses one: infant mortality and even then totally misses every relevant detail or big picture truth about U.S. infant mortality. PDX needs to realize that I made a lot of promises in the first blog and it's going to be a long, long but factually accurate and convincing series of blogs that will undress Obamacare and GIBs and GSBs (government interference boondoggles and government spending boondoggles) such as Obamacare in general. Rajjpuut is a Libertarian, that means fiscally ultra-conservative and socially "live and let live."

Any reader who'll patiently read the coming blogs will see that everyone of the ten truths raised will be proved and a lot more will be exposed as well.

No, Rajj

I was addressing your term "evil status quo" and pointing out that the status quo is of THEIR making. You opinions have nothing to do with it.

The only thing I accuse you of is having no taste and the tackiest, most irritating formatting on the internet.

I don't read most of what you post because just LOOKING at it gives me a headache.

The only agenda I can discern from your blog is that you want to make sure no one reads it, by formatting it so obnoxiously that it would give one a migraine to try.

Oh, come ON, dude!

I disagree with you so I support the "evil" status quo? Right.

*Ahem* You didn't answer my question. What is your source for the wasted expenditure of medical dollars? I'm really interested in your answer because I don't believe you have one.

If you (1) can't deal in facts and (2) can't change your color scheme to make your page readable, NOBODY will read your future blogs, my dear.

Ah, perhaps I understand . . .


Suddenly, I see the light, I had a problem with typography about six years ago and went to my PC's control panel and changed the resolution. Viola! suddenly I saw the blogs the way the authors intended them. Perhaps, that's the problem?

As far as doubts about my connections to truth: if you'll go to:

http://rajjpuutsfolly.blogtownhall.com/2009/10/17/the_truth s_no_one_wants_to_hear_about_health_care__2.thtml

after the present Townhall website problem is cleared up, you'll see that 1. What you read was the first of 28 planned blogs (now it'll be 29) and 2. I begin as promised to specifically deal with the problems I mentioned.

As far as Maureen001 saying I can't demonstrate the waste in medical expenditures: Medicare is technically "OK" till 2016 when it'll be officially bankrupt. However, in reality Medicare right today has obligations of $34 TRillion that it can't meet, so the broader federal government must face deficit spending. This $34 TRillion amounts to three times the national debt and in the #2 blog referenced above, I give three quick easy to understand instances where, medical quackery, not just waste, leads to wasted money as well as danger to the patient.

Take care,
Rajjpuut
