Hi David,

and thanks for responding.  I guess you fear Obama has death panels in store 
for us, right?  So what do you suggest for health care?

At one time in history  feudalism was a  "better" system.   Capitalism and 
industralization  definitely led to human progress; non-industial societies 
don't do very well.  But is this the end of the  line?  The best we can do? 
I specifically asked why profit had to be a part of health  care and you did 
not address that question.

The defects of the "free market" system put us in this mess, not Mr. Obama. 
The repeal of  the Glass-Seagall Act's ban on investment and commercial 
banking in one institution led to the financial breakdown.  It had kept us 
safe since the 1930's

I for one  am tired of hearing about the superiority of the  United States. 
For your information  DBS was first done by a French doctor.   ProSavin is 
only being  done in the UK and France.

I also think the big government vs. small government issue is a phony one. 
What matters is who is in  the government not how big or small it is.  For 
the past few decades  Republicans have gotten control  of  many state 
governments.  Witness the retrogressive, extremist legislation they are 
producing or attempting to produce, personhood laws, bans on collective 
bargaining, invasive vaginal exams, voter suppression, anti-abortion, stand 
your ground, etc.  Talk about Big Brother!!!!

These issues do affect people with Parkinson's and all diseases for that 
matter.   We ignore them at our peril.

Ray, your comments and questions warrant a response.....in general, profit
has made this country the most prosperous, with the highest standard of
living, in the history of mankind.  Instead of a system, like the Soviet
Union and others that shared and share equally in scarcity, (which increases
human suffering and a poverty standard of living), our Free Market economy
has done just the opposite.  And if we can reverse the direction that Mr.
Obama has pointed us in, we will continue to see opportunities for those who
want to work hard and improve their lot in life.

I am much more concerned about Big Brother telling us what we can or cannot
be treated for.  I've seen the quotes, and the Panels of Experts that will
eventually be formed under ObamaCare will have the power to deem an
individual unfit for further treatment, or a specific treatment, (based on
economic concerns, i.e., what's the cost/benefit factor.)  Obama has
mentioned the fact that the rising cost of Care is directly related to the
increased numbers of the Senior population and the expensive treatment for
serious illnesses common to them.  Denying treatment is going to be a major
cost-cutting feature of OBC.....this concept used to be" Unthinkable", but
has become "Thinkable", soon to be "Acceptable".....all done for the "common
good".

November, for me is a "no-brainer"....:):)

Dave

I just heard Romney’s address to the NRA.  he said Obama is destroying our
economic, religious and personal freedom (to choose our own health  care),
and the constitution .   The Declaration of Independence god-given rights
was also cited.

What kind of a  life does one have with Parkinson’s?

Is a cure going to come from the free  market which sees no profit in a
cure, the churches, or the NRA?

Can someone tell me why profit has to be the foundation of our health care?

WHAT A TERRIBLE SHAME IT WOULD BE IF PROSAVIN TURNED OUT TO BE A CURE FOR
PD, BUT WAS NOT PROFITABLE ENOUGH FOR THE “JOB CREATORS”!!

Please, I beg you, don’t return us to the past.
