American Health Bill

If communism was one extreme of sucking out people , then Capitalism is another extreme of human intolerance. Most of the world does not understand , why Republicans have to be against the Subsidy provided to health uninsured people.

If GM can be bailed out with billions of dollars, AIG can be bailed out, Banks can be bailed out, wars can be funded for years and years, then where is the logic, which supports that subsidy on health care is Un American.

Well, that is what is USA. A nation, where on side, people are generous in doling out billions of dollars for health care charity in Africa , but for their own set of under privileged people are reluctant to give away their tax dollar.

As it is Medical science is a failed science, wherein 90% of diseases are incurable and the top of it, if there is a support mechanism, expected from the society, then socially, we are unwilling to share our tax dollars. This is really funny for me.

I don't really need to compare Cuba or Europe or for that matter India, China and many such countries, where the health care is free or highly competitive in cost.

I also find it funny that Bush, vetoed twice the Stem Cells Bill in the name of saving of an unborn , lifeless egg and on the other side giving away the lives of young Americans to fight a war , which was rather not required.

Obama so far has moved rightly , but when it comes to dealing with the world, he is far too soft. I found Bill Clinton as one President, who had this charm and power to lead US to a Position of Strength.

Obama has so far not been able to show the same subtlety, but he still has time, as he has been engrossed with fixing up the economy and health issues etc. Nevertheless, he has done well on all counts within the US.

The real challenge still with US is Chinese undervalued currency, Middle East, Iran, Afghanistan , Climate Change and Terrorism. Which by any measure is not too much on Obama`s Plate.

Iran is almost a solved issue, given its own internal dissent.
China needs US more then US needs China, so, this is much easy, if US really wants to solve the issue.
Middle East, : Neither party is serious in resolving their issues, so just leave it in cold storage and move further.
Afghanistan is taking a good shape
Climate Change needs Carbon Tax.
Terrorism needs a UN anti terrorist force , same like UN peace keeping force. This is an international issue, so all members need to pool in the force. US cannot act as a policeman for all the time. UN has to take over this responsibility.

After this, US is up and running again , unless there are other skeletons falling from the closet and sinking the stock market, US is on its way up.
