That is simply not what is going on here. I spent 20 years in the division of public health and the Department of Health and social services. I spent 30 years in politics including state director of two offices, a run for the state legislature and helping three governors get elected.

What is really going on here is that Tom Price has received millions of dollars from big Pharma, the medical insurance companies and other big medical companies. His specific job is to get rid of all government healthcare and just replace it with laissez-faire capitalist medical availability. Survival of the fittest medical care.

He plans to not only get rid of Obama care, but Medicare and Medicaid. And you will see things like public guarantees for pre-existing conditions go out the window. People may get some tax credits, but they won't go very far and try and get medical insurance when you're 50,60, 70,80 or 90 years old, or have a pre-existing condition. Good luck.

We should have a system of universal healthcare like the rest of the Western democracies have for example Canada.

Tom Price is an orthopedic surgeon. And a little known fact, is that surgeons have one of the highest incidence of sociopathic personalities of any occupation. And it makes sense, if you're a sociopath, it's much easier to operate on people because you aren't affected by emotions like empathy, like concern for others. You are just a human body mechanic.

This guy Tom Price is an evil man that has been bought and paid for by the medical industry to specifically destroy the public health system and they are going to skin us alive and throw people to the wolves.

<<I can't do that. Is more important for us to stand up to help our country that it any time in my life. So I will continue to do what I can wherever I am. When I get to Las Vegas, I expect I will be up to my eyeballs in whatever resistance has been formed at that point.

I have changed my schedule though. I don't watch very much politics anymore and I stopped sending a lot of political stuff to my clan and friends. It's just bad news all the time and that gets old after a while.

But as for me, I need to fight the good fight for as long as I live and am able. And that means identifying the dangers and then formulating responses to the best of our ability.
