Hillary’s Healthcare Reform: Basket of Deplorables

deplorables1In her recent interview on Israel Channel 2, Democrat Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton said “I would say you can take Trump supporters and put them in two baskets–there are what I call the Deplorables, the racists, the haters…”

In calling millions of Americans “deplorable,” Hillary set off a firestorm of controversy and protest on social media.

Physicians serve patients to focus on healing, not ripping people apart causing more pain. Thus, from a medical perspective, it is abhorrent when a Presidential candidate resorts to such divisive and demeaning tactics, smearing hard working Americans who are simply expressing their Constitutional rights with differing opinions about our country’s major economic and social issues.

The Flight 93 Election

cockpitNote: A magnificent review of conservative concepts and principles recently highlighted by Rush Limbaugh and posted on Claremont.org provide an intelligent principled conservative justification to vote for Donald Trump – a serious consideration that highlighted here as some local activists and beloved friends continue to dismiss the candidate 2016 conservative primary voters selected. The piece begins:

2016 is the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or you die. You may die anyway. You—or the leader of your party—may make it into the cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane. There are no guarantees.

Except one: if you don’t try, death is certain. To compound the metaphor: a Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian Roulette with a semi-auto. With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances.

This effort to protect their finances, however, could have the opposite effect of depriving them of a much-needed credit history.

You get what you Pre-Pay for… maybe

VideoGameMenGaming Report: Ugh, pre-order culture; once an immensely helpful service, but has since turned into what many consider the worst cancer of modern gaming.

Pre-order did once serve a very practical and useful purpose, back in the day when gaming wasn’t the widespread phenomenon it is today. At the turn of the century it was little more than a niche market focused toward a specific group of individuals, little more than an amusing novelty to the general populace.

Examining Hillary’s Doctor

HillaryClintonChokeA number of physicians, including me, have dared to suggest that Hillary Clinton might have a serious health problem that would affect her ability to serve as President, and suggested some things that it could be, based on past known diagnoses and current public observations recorded on video. All have stated that to make an actual diagnosis, you need to see the patient—and all the records.

Dr. Drew lost his TV show, and others got lambasted in the mainstream media and the Twittersphere. How dare we diagnose Mrs. Clinton without seeing her? It’s nothing but a conspiracy theory.

It’s so ironic. Patients are being diagnosed every day, and treatments prescribed—or denied—by people who have not seen the patient.
