New Hampshire Debate: Goobers On Parade

I watched about a half hour of the Goobers On Parade debate from New Hampshire. That was all I could stomach. The debate, if you dare call it a debate, was more of a Obama-slam. The audience questions asked were not answered, and I took nothing away from what I saw other than these Goobers think Obama is the scourge of the Earth. That, and Obamacare is the work of the devil.

Maybe I tuned them out too soon, but it appears the only platform they are running on is the "Make Obama A One Term President" platform. I heard nothing emanating from these gasbags about what they intend to do to make America a better and stronger country, and how they would go about it. I am talking about a concrete, fact based plan with details, not hot air and Republican platitudes.

Health care seemed to be the real hot-button issue, and this country is sorely in need of a decent heath care plan. I've said it before and I'll say it again, America is one of the worst countries in the world in providing heath care to it's people. So, what is the GOP plan for health care? All I heard was "get rid of Obamacare." Then what?

Just to put this health care issue into proper perspective, let's ask ourselves, "Where does the U.S. stand world wide on health care among the richest countries?" We are 37th! 

And, the top 10:

1 France 

2 Italy 

3 San Marino 

4 Andorra 

5 Malta 

6 Singapore 

7 Spain 

8 Oman 

9 Austria 

10 Japan

I know that American arrogance would not allow it to happen, but wouldn't it make sense to look at these countries and fashion a health care plan based on the best ideas from each? An alternative plan would be to adopt the Lambert Health Care Plan. Never heard of it? Click on the link - it's a grand plan. Well, at least it's a plan.
