In government, the left hand often has no idea what the right hand is doing, a characteristic that does not bode well for gov't care.Today I got my laugh through tears when my favorite radio station aired a public service announcement co-sponsored by the Ad Council and non other than Kathleen Sebelius's Department of Health and Human Services.
Q. What does the Department of Health and Human Services want you to do now?
A. Get more involved with your health care by asking questions!
From the "you can't make this stuff up" department:
The ads feature people asking questions in everyday situations such as ordering food at a restaurant and buying a cell phone, but clamming up when their doctor asks if they have questions. [italics mine]"Clamming up" about our health care? Isn't that exactly what the Secretary Sebelius, the Democrat majority in Congress, and our own president are hoping that we do?
The general impression Congressional Democrats have been making by canceling town hall meetings and lecturing questioning constituents about the "lack of quality" of their questions is that they want us to clam up and look the other way as big government:
- controls our health care through stealth legislation,
- makes decisions about who gets treatment via bureaucratic "death panels,"
- and imposes special taxes on people who don't (literally) buy into gov't care.
All over the country, Americans have been attempting to find out specifics about Obama's single-player health care plan, that is, when their senators or reps aren't hiding in undisclosed locations or behind teams of uninformed telephone-answering interns or inoperable telephone systems. Here are some of the common sense questions that Kathleen Sebelius's own department thinks we should be asking, straight from her department's own Web site:
That's good advice, and we ought to ask and keep asking until we get answers that we like and can verify.Ask:
