Everyday, I hear about some politician or political platform touting the need for nationalized health care in the states. Let me tell you, that concept scares the daylights out of me. And it's not just because I started my life as a Brit. More than anything, it is because I have lived with the U.S. government controlling my health care for the past 8 years. Now if you are wondering how I managed to luck out with that one, it is because I served on Active Duty for 6 years and currently have the option of receiving care from the Veterans Administration as a result of those years of service to my government.
So, if you, my readers, are convinced that government health care is a good thing, let me tell you now to talk to any member of the armed forces currently serving on active duty. Ask them if they would trust the doctors on base for anything outside of trauma care (of which, they are by far the best). Most will tell you that they would prefer to go to a doctor off post who is a professional rather than go to a doctor or dentist on base who practices medicine.
Need more proof? If any of my readers remember the 1980s, they would remember the fact that during the 80's and 90's the VA medical system was the object of scandals that would make getting medical care in Cuba more desirable at that point in time.
Of course, if you want something that hits closer to home and is more recent, I have two words for you: WALTER REED.
Now, my question to my readers is this, if the government can't take care of its own defenders, what on earth makes you think it can take care of the rest of its own citizens? Our current medical system might be broken, but leave the government in charge and every day, you will wake up to Dr. SNAFU at BOHICA Medical Center and health care that would best be described as FUBAR.

P.R.CA (To the tune of Y.M.C.A.)
Well, I know that this one is easy as heck to make the leap to, and far too easy fodder, but I feel like changing things up today. So, I give you the People's Republic of California, or the P.R.CA. as a celebration of their absolute devotion to being the nanny state and removing people of all responsibility and rights.
Citizen, there's no need to feel down.
I said, Citizen, leave your rights on the ground.
I said, Citizen, 'cause you're in a new state
There's no need to be unhappy.
Citizen, there's a place you can go.
I said, Illegal Citizen, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay in the P-R-CA.
I lost my second amendment rights in the P-R-CA.
They have everything that you need to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
It's fun to stay at Tax Payer Expense.
It's fun to stay in the P-R-CA.
You don't need to get yourself clean, you can have a good meal,
You can do what/whoever you feel ...
Human, are you listening to me?
I said, Citizen, what do you want to be?
I said, Citizen, you can make real your dreams.
But you've got to know this one thing!
No person does it all by itself.
I said, Citizen, put freedoms on the shelf,
And just go there, to the P-R-CA.
I'm sure they can help you today.
It's fun to stay at Tax Payer Expense!
It's fun to stay in the P-R-CA!
They have everything that you need to enjoy,
Women there don't need boys ...
It's not that fun in the P-R-CA.
I cannot smoke in the P-R-CA.
You don't need to get yourself clean, you can have a meal,
You cannot do what's moral if you feel ...
Citizen, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was afraid to pay my dues.
I felt no one wanted to tolerate me.
I felt like I needed to work ...
That's when someone came up to me,
And said, citizen, take a trip way out west.
There's a place there called the P.R.CA.
They only make legals pay.
It stopped being fun at the P-R-CA.
My rights are gone in the P-R-CA.
They gave me meds so that I could enjoy,
the fact that they only want me to play with boys ...
I got brainwashed in the P-R-CA.
I'm not accountable in the P-R-CA.
Citizen, there's no need to feel down
U.S. Citizen, leave your bill of rights on the ground
It's fun to be a criminal in the P-R-CA
It's fun not be accountable in the P-R-CA
Human, are you listening to me?
Human, what do you wanna be?
P-R-CA
you'll lose yourself in the P-R-CA
no man, does it all by herself
Citizen, put individual rights on the shelf
P-R-CA
then just go to the P-R-CA
P-R-CA
Citizen, I was once in your shoes
P-R-CA
Citizen, I said, I was down and out with the blues.
P-R-CA
No military displays allowed in San Francisco, Oakland has banned smoking in public places to include parks, other towns have banned smoking in apartments, and the State has banned smoking in cars with persons below 18. Gun laws so restrictive that for the most part, outlaws are the only ones who can have them... Yes, if CA leads the U.S., then we as a nation are all in trouble...
