Here's to whose health?

It is as we feared, that massive, constipated, bloated healthcare bill is now law. Oh, give me a break!  The commerce clause, now really. The whole manner in which this law was initiated, written and passed stinks to high heaven. Now what are we to do? Unfortunately we must try and repeal this law, throwing out all of it because the wording is so dense and convoluted that it is nigh near impossible to tell the good, the bad and the downright ugly. Now it is time to create a bill that works for everyone, and I mean EVERYONE. We need imput from all, liberal, conservative and independent, libertarian and anyone else who might have a hand in the game.

My first question is WHY are we taking our young girls out of school, paying for a serious procedure (abortion) then bringing them back to school as if nothing had happened? I doubt that many parents would willingly give their consent if they thought that consent was for anything other than for sex education or transporting a child to the doctor or emergency room, while notifying the parents of the situation (accidents or illnesses). What if this abortion had caused severe bleeding... would the girl even tell her parents since the school authorities were in collusion with her to keep her parents from finding out? So the next morning (in this hypothetical scenario) Mom and Dad find her half dead from complications and profuse bleeding and are beside themselves when they find out the truth. And educators wonder why homeschooling is on the upswing. Parents should always have the final say in their children's healthcare, unless there are problems that should be addressed in the courts. Enough on that for now.

I have a few thoughts on things that I want to share with you. We do need to help subsidize people who want to become doctors. We need to save gas, right? And the most vulnerable  us, the elderly and our children need to have access to good healthcare. Why do we not have doctors fresh out of residency spend two years at our schools, at a modest salary, in exchange for a waiver of a portion of their school loans? Now our educators need some assistance and some of the elderly need companionship. I see five school buses going up my street with two or three kids and coming down with another one or two. Elderly volunteers could catch the buses and come to school. In the mornings the doctors could see the children and the volunteers could work in the classrooms, reading, helping kids who are having trouble and in general assisting the teachers. After they all have a hot meal (the only hot meal many will have that day), the elderly volunteers could see the doctor if needed and enjoy socializing with the other volunteers (many have become somewhat isolated because they are not able to drive or are not comfortable driving). At the end of the day, they board the buses and return home. This might cut down on problems now occurring one the buses thus allowing the drivers to fully concentrate on driving, possibly cutting down on accidents resulting in reduced insurance rates allowing more monies for actual education. Any thoughts on this?
