blue pill shifts costs onto pro-lifers

7.22: rn.pol/health care/pres` townhall meet

. they asked him about having health choices removed

like end-of-life decisions,

and the only thing that came close to addressing that one

was a ref' to:

"( having a choice between {blue, red} pills,

of course you take the one that's cheaper;

)

and, that reminded me of the matrix.movie;

so then analogizing the politics to the matrix story,

I thought of how the pro-lifers

are living in this collective dream

like those guys on ventilators did in the matrix

with their rallying around the myth about

saving souls, and not sparing one drop of experience,

no matter what the cost

-- most of our current healthcare is spent on

the last year of life (on the intensive care unit's ventilator) .

. Obama may have referred to the matrix

as a way to conjure up the vision of

people being on ventilators .

. he may have chosen the color blue not only because

that is the democrat's color,

but also because the artificiality of the matrix

is often cited as modeling socialism

and Obama is readily admitting the plan is socialism

-- adding that when socialism is the cheaper cure,

that's the policy you swallow .

. why should a gov'plan with science-based triage

worry the pro-lifers

when they still have other providers to choose from?

. if the gov is saving money by terminating

intensive care use by elders,

then it could save vastly more than pro-life private insurers

and they would have to do the same to stay competitive .

web: which pill was which,

and do other people see this connection?

blue -> matrix (socialism) (democrat)

red -> reality (individualism) (republican)

The truth depicted in The Matrix is an extreme version of modern socialism:

OBAMA quote:

Well, I think it's a great question,

and I think the important thing is to underscore

that there is consensus that we spend too much on

care that does not improve people's health.

And if we start with that,

then that means we've got to make some changes.

What I've proposed is that we have a panel of medical experts

that are making determinations about

what protocols are appropriate for what diseases.

There's going to be some disagreement,

but if there's broad agreement that, in this situation

the blue pill works better than the red pill,

and it turns out the blue pills are half as expensive as the red pill,

then we want to make sure that doctors and patients

have that information available to them.

mcnamarablog for Conservatives

"(

. In The Matrix, the character Trinity

helped search for The One, named Neo, who would stop The Matrix.

Conservatives seek leadership.

We understand that the Matrix is an illusion. And it must be stopped.

The fact that the colors red and blue

are also used to represent the Democrat and Republican parties

seems amazingly appropriate, under our current circumstances.
