Excellent thoughts.

Krauthammer was edging out Will for “most evolved intellect” thanks to 2008-2009. But Will is fighting back!

That week, my wife and two kids enjoyed hanging out at the beach and the pool…especially when the waiter would walk up to their umbrella and ask them if they wanted anything to eat or drink. They quickly learned what “inclusive” meant and took great advantage of it. About mid-week, my son was playing in the pool with one of his new friends and the waiter dude came by. My son asked his friend if he wanted a smoothy…his friends hesitated and my son then said, “well, its free!”

Of course, it wasn’t free…it was just that my son wasn’t going to have to pay for it. Since I had already identified to the staff who was in our family, he could ask for pretty much anything (that an 8 year old might ask for) and get it only by telling the waiter his room number.

In his recent column, George Will (the most evolved human intellect currently drawing breath) wrote:

“Employer-paid insurance is central to what David Gratzer of the Manhattan Institute calls “the 12 cent problem.” That is how much of every health-care dollar is spent by the person receiving the care. Hence Americans’ buffet mentality: We paid at the door to the health-care feast, so let’s consume all we can.”

Victor Davis Hanson (a top 5 intellect) recently wrote:

“Before envisioning dramatic change, the Roman emperor Augustus is said to have warned, “Make haste slowly.” The reformer Augustus was eager for radical social transformation. But he also knew he had to deal with generations of Roman tradition and habit — and thousands of entrenched special interests.”

There are two issues with “national healthcare” that must be addressed before we can get it: 1) How will it be paid for? 2) How do we go from what we currently have to a single system without destroying everything?

Recently, a friend of mine decided to “get all up in my bidness” about this issue and asked me why I would oppose free healthcare for everyone in the US.

My son’s eager comment from last Summer is still ringing in my ears. I suppose that if we do get a national healthcare plan, I’d like to opt for the lifetime “inclusive” plan please.
