Keeping An Open Mind
with regards to socializes Medicine requires "the willing suspension of disbelief" to believe that there can be any cost savings. But, Keeping An Open Mind, I listened as the Anti-American Socialist Party explained that much of the new cost was going to come from new taxes on "medical devices" and "selected private health insurance plans" I listened as they explained how we could tap into and tax the very cost we were trying to lower.
Keeping An Open Mind I applied "The Scientific Method" to analyze my initial conclusion, could this be any thing, but absurd?
"The Scientific Method"
1. Theorize.
2. Research.
3. Form a Hypothesis.
4. Test the Hypothesis.
5. Analyze your test.
6. Publish your findings!
1. Theorize. You can tap/tax things to power them. Thus we should be able as Obama has suggested tax the components of health care to lower the cost. Health care should be self sustaining.
2. Research. There is precedents in the third world for self-sustaining cultures. It worked for the Donner Party and those athletes that crashed in the Andes.
3. Form a Hypothesis. A well planed Society or machine should be capable of self-sustained production.
4. Test the Hypothesis. Can any thing be self-sustaining/self-powering?
We can't test Obama care despite such system has ever been dismantled despite there failures. So we'll try an electrical system. Plugging a light into a power strip plugged in to the wall lights the light. If the power strip powers the light then plugging the strip into it self should power the power strip and the light.
5. Analyze your test. No matter how I tried the light wouldn't light! We can't tax a service to pay for that same service! To believe the socialist we must embrace "the willing suspension of disbelief" the system as proposed can not work! This must be why Congress and selected Unions are omitted from the system.
6. Publish your findings! "Well'a!"

Bill,
In order to apply your test to the plan coming out of Washington we would have to assume
A) That there is any logic involved in the plan
B) That the person speaking can be assumed to be telling the truth
C) Since neither of these assumptions can be implied it just proves we are about to get screwed.
