BLANKLEY: Obama's health-care czar

In a way, this is good. I'm itching to kill people, but I just don't have enough justification. I mean, taking my hard earned tax dollars and destroying my chances for retirement would have made our Forefathers pick up arms; but most American men like me are now pussified. But having some bureaucrat cause the death of my daughter, son or wife ... yeah, baby ... now we're talkin'!!!!!

I applaud Daschle's selection. Other than the Clintons--who should both be in jail--there is no one more qualified to head a large, corrupt, politically correct welfare organization that has nothing to do with its alleged mission.

I think Obama has to utilize his political capital immediately to reform the health care industry. I wrote about it today in the Huffington Post - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-m-sandman/dive-right-into-health-ca_b_147691.html

He proposes setting up a board to establish standards for health-care delivery that would be modeled on how the Federal Reserve Board and Securities and Exchange Commission oversee banks and corporations. I think that says it all when you consider the state of our economy BECAUSE of the Fed!

Great article. Daschle's book is scary but required reading. I have been blogging about these issues (http://advocateyourself.blogspot.com) but I'm grateful to have your louder speaker explaining these issues. Keep up the good work. This far BHO has been following the Daschle playbook. Even got the Medco (CES David Snow) pinion on as Czar when Daschle got screwed with taxes. Nancy Ann DeParle only became a member of Medco's BOD after the Daschle tax issue. Medco has run Medicare Part D into the ground. My parents are on this and it saves very little money because Medco requires docs to jump through hoops with "pre authorizations" for non-formulation drugs. These people are old - let them use what works, Medco and DeParle. Then the provision for the Federal Medical Board was stuck into the Stimulus Bill. The joke of not reading bills & having "speed readers for fun" is insulting.
