The President of the United States may be thought of as a cult leader. George Washington wore black velvety suits and had white hair as well as being portrayed on the cover of a U.S. News and World Report collector's edition on Secret Societies-Mysteries of History. The G.W. Bush administration was a leader of the national cult of debt and spending of political capital. The U.S. Supreme Court and the cult of the twelve monkeys differ obviously, yet it is true that the Court does not wear white robes and will be scene publically dressed only in black. A poltically correct court that isn't a cult would wear robes symbolic of the races with demographiocally correct color proportions of black, white, brown, red and yellow 'rainbows'. The favoritism for the black plainly has mysterious meanings qualifyiong for investiture as a cult. The Statue of Liberty appears to be an early French punk motiff with a spiked crown instead of a spiked collar, perhaps because in the 19th century people attacked more from above while today they tend to go for the throat and thus that is an explanation for why the futurist punk cult of 19th century Paris chose the sp[iked crown and the spiked dog collar would need to wait a century before that cult became these chic in the lower classes. Since the Obama administration is in it's first coming, the followers will need to await 2012 for an opportunity to announce the second coming of Obama. Precocious cults can present unrealistic expectations to electorates challenged by what cult to elect. Skull and Bones, Opus Dei, Al Qa'eda, Triads-one wonders about the sea of iceberg tips above the surface and what lurks beneath in political Machiavellianism for Conspiricy Theorists and Commodities Traders alike. WIll the roads be paved in white solar voltaic circuitry to simultaneously support global cooling for a second coming campain? Will President Obama have to wait until out of office to have his face on a new three dollar bill with a pyramid and Chinese Pagoda symbol supported by a mountain of empty oil drums?
We do enjoy putting historical metaphor into its apposite place where it belongs. With a broadcast media fetish worship of ESP in sports such that meat over mind matters most, it is possible to rave through the days of our lives with meaningless corporate anispotropy in social progress. The wealthy are getting wealthier and the media doesn't much use the inflation word though food prices on many items seem to be up 300%.
The President has not yet put his best health care proposal forward. He claims it will save hundreds of billions of dollars, while the Republicans say to wait, and wait, and wait while their uninsured constituents drop dead. The sick, poor and injured don't like to wait-the wealthy, insured and smug owners of present health care stock like things the way they are. Perhaps by the time of the second coming some of the uninsured will still be alive or of working age and condition to benefit from a better health plan if such arrives along with 100% non-fossil fuel auto production and use in the United States by 100% of the people.
A good health plan cannot be like one shoe that fits all people. It would be possible to make such a shoe of course with an adjustable front and side such as in a foot size measuring device in shoe stores, yet generally dedicated shoes require different sizes to fit different feet. In a primitive economy mass network infrastructure tends to want to standardize everything and increase inefficiency following the initial distribution and provisioning of a resource. Electrical power monopolies under state regulation should have been followed early by initiatives for home power production through wind solar and fuel cells. Home power production for automobiles should be encouraged by government plug in electric programs right away-yet obviously the variegation required in transport as well as health planning requires far greater numbers and distance than are presently imagined.
The 50 million uninsured Americans should be financially triaged first-they cannot afford to wait or get insurance in many cases, and it isn't insurance they primarily need but medical treatment. Medical treatment and class statistics varies quite a lot amidst age and social groups in the United States. Working adults age 18 to 60 often are never sick. They may have an injury or two not covered by workers compensation and need to get immediate medical treatment. They cannot afford to pay insurance for a lifetime, yet do need the infrequent too expensive to afford coverage. There should be a federally insured medical loan program for the top 100 most common injuries and illnesses suffered that cost less than 10,000 to fix. When a working adult gets a hernia he should be able to choose his own medical repair provider, and get a federally insured loan that he can repay over time. Poor working individuals do not have 10,000 dollars in the bank generally.
Government bureaucrats are covered and politicians are rich; they do not have competence in getting health care planning done for uninsured constituents. The Government cannot serve as a co-opted tool for the advantage of global corporations and corporate health providers as it does presently. Neither should the government create a plethora of socialist programs limiting medical research or inefficiently synthesizing medical provisioning systems and promulgating laws requiring poor people to buy insurance from global corporations-that is nearly treason for-itself.
The one shoe-size fits all approach needs to be replaced by a more detached, analytical circumspection of what classes of people need what particular kinds of medical coverage and then solving those issues individually. Health care for the genuinely retired and elderly requires different medical treatments than that for working people under 60. people with chronic illnesses need more than rare federal loans. Illegal aliens needing medical treatment should be documented and the bill sent to the government of the alien's country of origin. The rich and middle classes have fundamentally very different medical needs than poor working adults. Children are often covered by a variety of programs anyway as they should. It is wrong to delay a loan program for poor workers injured in self-employed or off-the-job circumstances until the heavy medical bills of aging middle class Americans can be sorted out. Those people do not want to lose their life savings in order to pay medical bills that aren't insured understandably, yet they at least can afford some kind of treatment, while poor working adults cannot afford anything, and if its given free then its often the worst treatment at the highest cost.
President Obama in his first coming has already attended a church in Washingtion D.C., unfortunately I believe it was the denomination that choose to make homosexual marriages o.k. and thereby join the anti-Christ team. We hope next Christmas the President visits a church that is a Priesthood of Believers Congregation and starts to reinforce a more do-it-yourself-approach to being a Christian. In that respect the President could provide a little moral leadership to a nation sorely lacking it.
