YES WE CAN...what?
What comes after the initial YES WE CAN slogan? Looking for the unspoken follow up to this phrase, both positive and negative. Call it the fill in the blank game. Here are some examples:
YES WE CAN...say one thing and do another.
YES WE CAN...vote to raise everyone's taxes and not pay our own.
YES WE CAN...fan the flames of racism rather than judge people by the content of their character.
YES WE CAN...screw things up just as much as the Republicans, but in a different way.

They'll cut waste not treatments. If you go to you're internist and he says you need an MRI and then he sends you to 5 different specialists and they each want to give you an MRI, with the new computerized system in place, they'd actually use the 1 MRI that you originally had. Savings. No one is talking about denying treatment. This scenario happened to me about 4 yrs ago. If I hadn't talked up and said "Wait a minute, I just had an MRI a couple of months ago", I would have stupidly gone and had another. Many people don't realize that and do have duplicate tests done when it's not necessary. One of the specialists had my original Doc fax him the report, and 5 min. later, I was walking out of his office with a clean bill of health instead of waiting for appt. for MRI test, and then waiting another 2 weeks for results.

Absolutely agree, here. We can do better. Too bad Obama is making it worse instead of better.

Well...I think this health care thing sounds like a disaster in the making. I think the cash for clunkers is a waste of money. I think he is fanning the flames of racism rather putting that fire out. I think he is sending the message that people can't do for themselves, they must have an all powerful government take care of them. I think the cap and trade idea will make a lot of well-connected people a whole boatload of money, at the expense of my standard of living when my power bills and taxes go through the roof.
There are a few examples for you. I'm sure you don't agree with them. Which is good and normal. It would be pretty darn boring if we all agreed about everything, wouldn't it?

The health care thing could turn into mess but messes can be fixed. I'm going to wait on the cash for clunkers thing,to see if it benefitsAuto Makers and their Suppliers. I'm still out on that one. Alot of people can't do for themselves. All are not as self-sufficient as we all would like them to be. Some just can't be self-sufficient, period. Most of these people are already on Medicare, etc, so I really can't count them in our discussion. You may be right on the cap & trade thing, I need to look into it more.

YES WE CAN...cut taxes so people can afford to pay for their own health care rather than raising taxes and exerting even more government control over people's lives.

Without change and or regulations you can cut people's taxes to the nub, but if you have a pre-existing condition and the companies say no then you won't get insured.
Dear it about much more than people buying their own insurance. But you obviously aren't hearing that.

Actually Grace Linda, the problem here is that you believe the politicians when they say that they won't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions the way the private insuance companies do. I don't believe them. I think they will eventually deny even more pre-existing conditions than are currently being denied. I also believe that they will deny coverage based on "lifestyle choices". If you are above and beyond the ideal body mass index, they'll say that you brought on your diabetes yourself, so you can just stuff it.
It's not that I don't think the IDEA of everyone having coverage is good. I do. It's that I've learned over my lifetime that ALL politicians lie and spin the facts to suit their own agendas. Republicans, Democrats - there is no difference in my book. And any politician who tries to tell me that the government is going to do something cheaper and more efficiently than private industry immediately turns me off because history has proven over and over again that government is the most wasteful, inneficien "industry" of all.
