There are a myriad of issues that we could all discuss on these forums but none is more important than the state of health care in the United States of America.
You may have individual hospitals, research facilities and surgeons all of who possess the highest standards of practice and performance by their respective professions and purposes in life. Yet the USA has the world's worst health care system ( on a comparitive basis) that discriminates between the have nots and the haves resulting in a humanitarian disaster.
If you read your constitution carefully you will have to conclude that a failure to protect American lives is unconstitutional. Discrimination on the basis of race colour class and creed (and economic status which is class) is also unlawful and unconstitutional. 'All men are created equal before God'. These issues are at least implied in your constitution where they are not expressley stated so.
A failure to provde good health care which preserves human life and the quality of human life is consistent with your constitutional obligations as a nation.
You are able and willing to outsource manufacture of your flat screen TV's, your dishwashers, fridges, jeans and other material consumer goods which are not necessities for life but luxuries.
You outsource these to be manufactured to destinations that provide that service to you more cost effectively. Yet the preservation of human life does not warrant similar connsideration or creativity and incentives to promote such alternatives.
We are a group of individuals now proposing to work with health insurance companies and individuals and organizations in the US that cater for blue collar workers and those who are unable to pay for insurance to receive treatment in the USA.
We are proposing to send them to hospitals and medical centres in places like Nicaragua and in India to receive treatment for serious and intermediate type ailments including life saving surgery.
In Nicaragua the hospitals will be manned by Indian and Nicaraguan trained doctors and in India it will be those hospitals who have standards to an average US hospital that will provide the service. We have only recently begun to negotiate with Nicaragua with respect to our plans and will continue till we are able to find accceptance there for our plan.
In so doing we hope to overcome your backlog, foster better long term relations and understanding between the participant countries (and yes open markets for your goods and services there too) and their hosts.
Would you assist us by creating an awareness for our programme on your blog and your associated websites.
We have engaged a law firm in Australia (delta law Brisbane email : admin@deltalaw.com.au) to assist and to advice us in advancing our project.
If you do see merit in this project, a commercial humanitarian undertaking and believe you could contribute by assisting by contributing your professional skills (whatever field that may be), please pass the word around.
There are already 10 hospitals in India willing to sign on to our programme and to take in additional patients on a paying basis (25% of the average cost for similar services in the US).
Never depend on government (of any pesuation) to take care of of your personal problems.
Kindest Regards
