The new and improved snuggie

The new and improved snuggie.  They have snuggies in kids sizes now, and for pets.  In case you haven't seen the snuggie, it's basically a blanket with sleeves.  So when you're lying down and you want to use your hands there are convenient sleeves you can use instead of actually taking your arms out from under the blanket.  Got it?  Its a sensation, and someone is laughing happily to the bank as we speak.  The thought that popped into my mind was what if we improved the snuggie?  Gave it a zipper maybe, right down the middle or a belt.  Guess what?  Now we have robe, wow we reinvented an invention created thousands of years ago.
This is how I feel about this healthcare reform bill.  We started with an ideal.  The ideal being that all americans are equal and should be entitled to equal treatment.  It's the foundation on which our country is built.  Some people thought that everyone should be able to see a doctor or go to the hospital if needed.
It's not that complicated.  I think even the Republicans can get behind that simple idea.  If you're sick you should be able to get help in America.  I think most Americans could agree with this.  It's a simple idea.

Now witness our nations government go insane with so much mumbo jumbo, double talking crap, that I can hardly listen to it.  Honestly, I think I'm an intelligent and thoughtful person and half the time I didn't understand what the heck they were talking about.   And what was worse is some of these politicians were either so misinformed, stupid, or malicious they went on TV and repeated over and over again lies about the bill. You know who I mean. Misinforming the public and the media.   Now it's as if  this latest bill, holds nothing that resembles that original ideal.

I believe President Obama really wants to get this job done.  I feel it from him.  But, getting something done which is so much a compromise of what it was originally is a mistake I think.  Democrats say we can change it in the future, it's a start.  If you create something that isn't anywhere near what you intended to create, your going to get an inferior product.  Compromise is necessary in all things.  But giving away the cow so you can get the milk.......  Well, isn't that like improving the snuggie?
