Custer County, Idaho
Last Monday, Martin Luther King Day, those passionate enough to make the journey to Boise in below freezing weather heard pros and cons of the proposed Idaho Insurance Exchange. The event, facilitated by the Gem State Tea Party, treated each and all to a one of a kind concept; a face to face debate with those in the know from both sides of the issue. What an incredibly unique concept in this era of media hype, parsed sound bite clips and gotcha reporting. Could those at the Gem State Tea Party be in violation of the Misdirection Clause established by the main stream media? Most likely the informative debate was a violation of the Disinformation Directive regulated by the NSA or the Fudge the Facts Mandate issued by the Office of Homeland Security for polite salient discussions of pertinent issues. At least no one from the Governor’s office or those that represent Idaho in Congress was there to hear the truth from the mouths of the willfully informed. I in fact may be in violation of paragraph 3, subsection j, of the Federal Right to Filtered Information and Language Sanitation Act of 2013 by reporting this uncensored version of the goings on. At great personal risk and possible sanction from the Union of Socialist Copy & Media Redactors I continue.
The stage was set, three men on the left in favor of the Governor’s proposal for a State Health Insurance Exchange. All members of said Governor’s task force to review health care options mandated by our recently coronated Medical Officer in Chief. On the right, three men, little known but for their incredible talent for seeing their way through life as practitioners of the controversial conscripts of free enterprise and self determination upheld by a limited government who’s sole purpose is to secure their blessings of life, liberty and happiness (what a miserable idea, work for what you keep incumbent upon personal responsibility).
The debate centered on the mandate promulgated by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act better known as ObamaCare which mandates States make their own health care insurance exchanges or to rely on the federal program. With reliance on the brilliance of endoscopic vision, the left side of the panel was dumbfounded when the right side insisted on looking outside the bum and consider a third, less dogmatic option, free enterprise. Oh golly wobbles; the whole damn problem of kissing everybody’s boo boo just got messier. After all, it was conceded long ago that we have a socialized health care system. Now with our country broke and with the rich refusing to pay more taxes, those guys on the right want to go back to a system where people paid for the service they received with their own money! How ludicrous and mean spirited. All America need do is print more money, yeah! Don’t worry about the astronomical management fees and layers of bureaucratic department meddling that a new federal or state insurance exchange would create, the IRS has long been able to give people options they can’t refuse to take.
All joking aside, the debate refocused the argument from either a fed or state health insurance exchange to one of greater scope. Can we solve the problems of a growing and more expensive health care system with more of the same? Should not the fact that the failure of our current socialized health care system be prima facie evidence that further tinkering under the hood only leads to further financial despair? We can not remedy the problems we’ve created with the same kind of thinking that got us into this health care insolvency mess in the first place. Ultimately, a failed system will endanger the very souls we are all trying to save. The systematic failure of our current welfare state means lives are at stake and when push comes to shove people will shed the ties that bind and realize that greater good only comes from virtuous societies where people are free to choose.
