Today’s daily prompt asks us to wax philosophical on the role of government in health care…
My immediate response was, “I WOULDN’T touch that topic with a ten foot pole.” And now I bet you are wondering why you are reading anything at all because I don’t normally pingback to the prompt or bring it up at all if I’m not going to play along on a given day, right? Well, I don’t know what to say other than I felt compelled to acknowledge the prompt and officially abstain from arguing one way or the other.
There are benefits and drawbacks to both: having medical coverage solely provided by the government or solely provided by the private sector. I could argue for the theory of both. Unfortunately, the ideal theory rarely comes to fruition in the real world… We corrupt them and try to distort them to our own purposes and they are left as ragged shells of what they could have been.
So, if you popped over today looking for great words of wisdom from the matticus kingdom, I’m sorry to disappoint. We have none to offer today.
Always worth a visit to Matticus Kingdom. I wouldn’t touch this topic with a 99 and a half foot pole. Good decision.
LOL! That’s one long pole… I’m not sure I could even lift a pole that long. What’s it made out of? Is it rigid or bendable? How high off the ground do you have to lift one end to have the far end also lift off the ground?
I was thinking of the Grinch but his was only 39 and a half feet. I checked. Because of the topic it would have to be flexible because there is no easy answer to health care.
Excellent point. Flexibility would be key.
Your words were filled with wisdom.
Thank you!
Not to be all grammar police, but the typo in the first paragraph is funny. Unless my headache is clouding my editing skills. In that case, feel free to delete this comment
How embarrasing. Thanks for pointing it out – should be fixed now. I swear my fingers and my brain must be feuding because they haven’t often been cooperating recently.
Happens to the best of us
While I did expound (briefly) on this subject, in the end I came to the same conclusion: It doesn’t matter what people might want, they’ll never get the perfect fit, or even an adequate one.
I had a bit more written down but decided to delete it before publishing… I probably should have just skipped the prompt altogether. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
