FROM THE FOUNDATION

Big Business, Little Data

A growing number of Californians are being sent to ambulatory surgery centers for a wide variety of procedures, yet little is known about the care they deliver because reporting is not required.

Assertions made by the UN aren't always correct. In fact, often they're not. And who decided that our government should have the right to take money from us by force,for purposes other than defense, and use those funds for purposes that some other individual gets to decide is more worthy than the choices that would have been made by the one whose money was taken?

Any writer who states about U.S. health care: "let's work toward making an exceptionally good system better...", has been spending way too much time hermetically sealed off from reality. Apparently those 45-85,000 people who died last year because they didn't have health insurance shouldn't have regarded their lives as worthy of the description, "civil rights". And maybe that part of the UN Charter that the U.S. signed describing health care as a human right shouldn't count either. Maybe if more Americans saw health care as a civil right we wouldn't have such an expensive, ineffective and immoral health care non-system.

Kathleen Parker is right. It is an insult to the heroes of the civil rights movement to compare the healthcare takeover act to the civil rights movement.
