		<description>I agree that this “OBAMINABILL” is HORRIBLE! Typical liberals (w/ messiah complexes) tricks: create a crisis (notice how the number of uninsured got bigger &amp; bigger &amp; BIGGER - very inflated, &amp; they NEVER ONCE determined how many were eligible for EXISTING benefits, which, believe me, were the vast majority of those that are here legally) then swoop in &amp; “save” we lowly / helpless citizens from the primarily fake “crisis”. I think this reform of healthcare will make healthcare much worse. This is a VERY SAD thing - that the country that has (soon to be “had”) the potential to have the very best healthcare in the entire world will soon be struggling under this half-baked rush to disaster to even provide mediocre care to the aging boomers &amp; our progeny. To quote a reporter / onlooker of another disaster, the burning of the Hindenburg, “Oh! The Humanity!” What happened to “FIRST, DO NO HARM”, “DON’T THROW THE BABY OUT WITH THE BATH WATER”, &amp; “IF IT AIN’T BROKE, DON’T FIX IT!” All you shade-tree mechanic-type guys out there probably know the last one from personal experience. I do too.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My hat&#039;s off to you for having the perseverance to even read the Monster. But I have a few comments with regard to your post &amp; how you might get a little farther impressing your opinions upon your readers:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why can&#039;t you use plain English instead of TM - it&#039;s shoddy &amp; grossly UN-impressive. Maybe you&#039;ve used TM for so long that you&#039;ve forgotten how to write right?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I have no connection whatsoever to the FDA or medical device manufacturing. You obviously do not know what &quot;postmarket device surveillance&quot; is. It is NOT new, thank God! I have no connection whatsoever to the FDA or medical device manufacturing. But I do at least know what post-market device surveillance is. Would you like a pacemaker or artificial joint that your doctor, the FDA, &amp; the manufacturer DID NOT watch for problems? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Think about it - If Toyota made pacemakers &amp; you had one implanted in your chest keeping your heart a-pumping &amp; no-one watched it for problems or reported any problems to a central surveillance entity, &amp; one day the stupid thing accelerated &amp; wouldn&#039;t quit firing at 300 jolts per minute, do you think you&#039;d live for more than about 24 hours before your heart gave out from beating that fast? (Believe me, you probably wouldn’t even be able to dial 911 with your heart beating that fast.) How do you think they could get in touch with all the people who had Toyota pacemakers if they didn’t have a database? How many hundreds or thousands of people with Toyota pacemakers do you think would die before Toyota VOLUNTARILY took their out-of-control pacemakers off the market? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Medical Devices&lt;br&gt;Postmarket Surveillance Under Section 522 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/ucm072517.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulat...&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;522 Postmarket Surveillance Studies – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/PostmarketRequirements/PostmarketSurveillance/ucm134497.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulat...&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;522 Postmarket Surveillance Studies Listing &lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfPMA/pss.cfm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdo...&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;AND&lt;br&gt;“FDA 101: Product Recalls - From First Alert to Effectiveness Checks” &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm049070.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates...&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I agree the FDA is sometimes overly cautious &amp; sometimes inadequately so. Sometimes FDA is so over-stretched that they are insufficiently so, these days particularly when it comes to inspection &amp; surveillance of foreign drug manufacturers (a whole ‘nother subject). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Healthcare Quality: Look around on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ahrq.gov&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.ahrq.gov&lt;/a&gt; &amp; see if you think there aren’t government people who know about healthcare quality. I think they do a very good job. As an experienced RN (Registered Nurse) &amp; CPHQ (Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality) I ought to know. I also know there is never not room for improvement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My point is this: Make sure you understand your subject before you post objections to it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think what I believe they did to seniors on Medicare Advantage should be prosecutable! I will be watching closely for care rationing, denials of efficacy-proven treatments, &amp; delays in treatment. I think those are my greatest fears about the government taking over healthcare. In a nutshell- the quality of care will plummet &amp; people will suffer &amp; die because of that - in AMERICA no less! I will not be proud to be an American when that happens!</description>

		<description>As a Canadian I&#039;m completely shocked as I read this low brow oversimplification.  How you even managed to put together a blog is beyond me because the reading comprehension expressed here is abysmal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You have taken every possible misinterpretation of fact (and rest assured, you are severely distorting reality here) and put them forward as misinformation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There isn&#039;t a single soul with a clear mind about this matter who hasn&#039;t read this and been convinced that your position on this is compromised by ignorance or greed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Health care is good, take it from someone who not only enjoys it, but also meets countless Americans simply unable to pay their higher costs, or who have been victimized by your for-profit insurance providers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Long after health care is brought into the U.S., people are going to remember you by this kind of dithering.</description>

<p>You have taken every possible misinterpretation of fact (and rest assured, you are severely distorting reality here) and put them forward as misinformation.</p>
<p>There isn&#39;t a single soul with a clear mind about this matter who hasn&#39;t read this and been convinced that your position on this is compromised by ignorance or greed.</p>
<p>Health care is good, take it from someone who not only enjoys it, but also meets countless Americans simply unable to pay their higher costs, or who have been victimized by your for-profit insurance providers.</p>
