My 10 step Health Care Solution

1 - Outlaw malpractice awards in excess of actual damages - its life, shit happens
2 - Outlaw insurance coverage of medical procedures  - they only add costs and headaches
3 - First $1000 of each persons medical costs per year are his responsibility - carry your own weight
4 - Goverment reimburses you for 90% of costs over $1000 per year - shop for better deal
5 - No coverage for illegal immigrants - what part of "illegal" is so hard to understand ?
6 - Foreign tourists and students are covered - They bring money
7 - If a designated medical board determines that you are likely within 6 months of dying, no expensive procedures for you - its time we learn that everyone dies eventually and how to do it gracefully
8 - Sorry, no cosmetic or any sort of "feel good" surgery is covered
9  - Increase income tax on anyone above the "higher limit" of their height - 1% for every 5 pounds
10 - Apply surcharge tax on any prepared food with content higher than certain fat/salt/sugar content

If we do this, our health care costs will be 50% less than today within 2 years, people will be healthier, and goverment will not be in healthcare business.

Michael Jackson - Mass Hysteria

So this troubled guy, freak to be more precise.... Uncomfortable in his own skin, out of touch with the world and for that matter anything human, dies. You would think a great statesman or a visionary passed away. Mass hysteria fed by media's fawning over this perfectly forgettable pop "star" followed. Yet if history tells us anything is that 50 years from now no one under 40 will know who he was. Some star.
