Is Our Health Care Secure?

So, the folks who want to control our health care can't stop a terrorist bomber who is on a suspect list and who has been ratted out by his father, no less, from getting on a plane a with a bomb and trying to blow it up. How well do you think they will administer the relationship between you and your doctor?

Frankly, I am sick of the Obama Administration blaming everything on the Bush Administration (not that they didn't screw up plenty), but for goodness sake, PLEASE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING!!!!

Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano clearly made a misstatement about the system working (nowhere near as bad as "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job"), but nevertheless, it does not strengthen your confidence in our government's ability to get anything right. What shouldn't Homeland Security get everything they need at airports to do the job correctly? If the latest screening equipment is available it should be put into service immediately. People's lives are dependent on this. No, our elected nitwits are more interested in taxing sun tan salons and forcing people to buy services that they don't need.

The plain simple fact is that the Federal bureaucracy is too damn big and the lines of communication aren't clear. The Feds must review the whole HSA set up at once. Given how quickly it was thrown together after 9/11, and how much infighting there is between the various units, a top to bottom review should be done. When the bomber's father reported him to a U.S. embassy, that information should have gone directly to people at Homeland Security who could have acted on it. How come that didn't happen? Frankly, I think the U.S. ought to ban anyone from getting on an overseas flight to the U.S. where the ticket has been paid for in cash and there is no luggage declared.

And with respect to screening, TO HELL WITH POLITICAL CORRECTNESS! Not all Arabs are terrorists, but all of the terrorists who want to harm us are Arabs. Notice any Norwegian suicide bombers lately? If profiling will help to identify these people then it should be done. If VISA and MasterCard know what millions of cardholders are doing every day, we shouldn't be able to monitor the coming and going of several hundred thousand dirt bags?
