Why do people put so much faith in government when government so often fails to deliver? This is a cult mentality, believing in something that is unbelievable and which the cult leader cannot deliver.

We know what will make health care more widely available at less cost. It isn’t the Obama administration’s plan. You’d better take the time to inform yourself on this because if the Obama plan goes through, government will ultimately decide who lives and who dies based on a formula and not on the value of every human life.

Ever heard of the Demming principles? Look them up online. W. Edwards Demming helped the Japanese recover after World War II and the Toyota company adopted his principles which helped make the company the success it is today. Basically, Demming’s first principle was work smarter, not harder. He figured out what businesses were doing wrong and helped them do it right. Hospitals that have adopted his principles are giving better care at lower costs. Government isn’t doing this. Look it up. It’s your health and your life.
