A unique take on healthcare

The debate has consumed hour upon hour of every cable news network to the point that if I see healthcare in the little box on the bottom of the TV, over to ESPN I go!  Everyone who has a political "iron in the fire" seems to be manipulating and morphing their statements as they continuously encounter "adverse" constituents at Town Hall meetings.  Mostly because they are deathly afraid that these people yelling at them won't forget this when they get to the ballot box and vote the the bums out!  On a side note, that alone might actually make things better.  Yep. Could be easier than we thought after all!

I am not writing to discuss death panels, rationing, Medicare, or any of the other numerous talking points brought up by both sides of this national schism, but rather it is the "talking points" that I take issue with.
The "talking points" have been talked to death over the past six weeks!  But in a maze of information and opinion it appears that clarity is lacking.  Not that I expected clarity in politics, but one may always hope.

What exactly are we, as a nation, getting for the dump trucks of money we are going to spend, and will it be better than what we have?  The President has played a political game, walking a tight rope that has frustrated concerned average Americans, and generated massive revenues for talk radio hosts and a myriad of political pundits. He has demanded that Congress put healthcare legislation on his desk, though has had multiple deadlines for that legislation, with a strong sense of urgency.

I fail to understand why President Obama doesn't make a solid case as to why these proposals (there are multiple bills being debated in the legislative branch) will make things better.  There are many examples worldwide of countries that have imposed stronger regulation up to and including socialized healthcare.  He would be much better off to show us examples of better systems, that treat higher percentages of populations, and have higher quality.

Show America objective examples of success.  Point out their strengths that we would impose, and their weaknesses that we would discard when implementing our own system.  We're big kids and we can understand this.  Besides I don't really trust a government bureaucrat to break it down into bite sized portions for my digestion.

To date, the President has campaigned for his flagship legislation, but the campaign ended in November.  Not that I liked the "Hope and Change" stuff last year, but I'm positive that statement is absolutely and positively WORN OUT!  The American people aren't stupid, and they are ready for some facts on what our government wants to do with our vital healthcare industry, not more campaign "talking points".

If President Obama honestly believes that his proposals on health care will improve our system, this is an argument Americans will understand.  If President Obama is playing a political game (I strongly hesitate to guess what his motivation would be) his oath of office requires him to abandon this reckless proposal.

Introduction

I am a young conservative (for those of you that missed the big title at the top), who has some unique positions on major issues that face our great Nation.  After many discussions with many friends, I've decided to post writing that is concise, lacking in tripe, observing of history, and puts forward a convincing point of view that is often misrepresented or lacking in mainstream outlets.  I do not make any claims of infallible opinion, having any portion of my brain tied behind my back, or overwhelming intelligence or wit.  But my generation will face enormous challenges as we age, thus I'd like to put in my two cents and foster intelligent thought and conversation.  I welcome and look forward to comments and discussion.  We will become the future's Presidents, Senators, Mayors, Governors, and businessmen.  Let us discuss these issues and increase our knowledge so that we can intelligently fill these positions when our time comes, with honor and respect.
