It's Not Saturday Delivery That's Hurting the Post Office

Facing mounting debt and a projected loss this year of $7 billion, U.S. Postmaster General John E. Potter said Tuesday morning that mail delivery must be cut from six days to five for the U.S. Postal Service to survive.

But critics say eliminating Saturday deliveries won

Sister,

My only retort will be the now immortal words of Danny Williams Premiere of the Canadian Province of Newfoundland. When given the choice of Socialized Health Care or the Free Market, he said;

"This was my heart, my choice and my health,"

"I did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when I entered politics."

For an American this Health Care plan is like the dumbing down of our Public Education system. Simply because some kids just don't get the fact that two plus two equals four we'll make an allowance for kids who believe it equals five. Because some do not wish to have or do not have access to Health Care, which is a bold face lie here in America, we will destroy and dumb down the whole system.

Peace,

Dave

I don't think you are hearing me Dave. Did you read my large post?

You still have yet to demonstrate that your broad statement 'socialised health care will kill' has any merit whatsoever. This isn't about what is best, no one is arguing that which is best, but just that it doesn't kill.

Sister,

I read it allright, which is why I quoted Danny Williams. Should we get Socialized Health Care here. He will lose his freedom of choice and be at the hands of Doctors who are less capable and bureaucrat's of the likes of his own Nation's who base decisions on cost of federal Dollars rather than what's best for the patient. The quote speaks volumes. It leaves the American citizen in a vulnerable position of sub standard care. Sub standard care leads to more death.

Peace,

Dave

Substandard care is better than nothing, right? Patients who access socialised health care because they cannot afford private health care are receiving health care that they otherwise would not have received.

Socialised health care is not tasked with keeping everyone alive. It is not meant to be a replacement for the highest standard private health care.

I understand your desire to not have socialised health care in your country, but not your insistence that all socialised health care kills. I live in a country with semi-socialised health care, and have used it for procedures that I would not have afforded otherwise.

Last year I spent two weeks in hospital. Once to give birth (with complications) and without the free service, I would have been in enormous trouble. Another was a few weeks later to deal with a massive infection that was missed by my private doctor.

Go figure huh.

This is not the case in the U.S. though. You are operating on a faulty premise and buying the Big Lie being propagated. Folks are not dying in the streets in America and folks are not having care withheld from them.

I was in Washington, D.C. this past Sunday afternoon Ministering to the Homeless and met a fellow who is 86 and had just gotten out of a combination of the Hospital and a Nursing Home/Hospice for the last 8 weeks. He was assaulted, beaten, and almost killed over $20.00. However, he had received care and had even been resting in a Nursing Home/Hospice Center for the last four weeks.

I'm certain he doesn't have one thin dime to pay for any of it and neither does he have Insurance. Yet, he received care.

Had he been at the hands of Socialized Medicine I'm not certain he would have gotten the same level of care.

Peace,

Actually,

The private mail services in the U.S. have prospered and flourished for years and still do despite the electronic age.

Take for example; FedEx.

Yes, Andy, Socialized Health Care will kill more people.

Peacce,

Call Fedex in the morning and ask them what it costs to have them deliver a first class legal sized envelope to LA and to New York City.

Yep,and that's why my insurance premiums are about $17,000 a year..... and he doesn't pay a penny...... and that's not right or fair or ethical or cool.

[other one]

But, this health care plan will not fix this problem....... and we don't need it. But we do need to lower the prices and that is a whole different direction from almost all of this bill.

Sam,

That doesn't mean that Socialized Health Care is the answer or is going to alleviate the problem. Have you seen what the Government pays for Ball Peen Hammers and Toilet Seats lately?
