Troubling News Questions

Some troubling questions were asked in several recent periodicals that are worth contemplating. They don’t reflect my opinion but will need to be considered as the debate progresses.

Afghanistan: Is the problem best solved by understanding the limits of what we can reasonable achieve, or, by sending more troupes. Some are saying our focus must shift from nation building to deal making. - They note literacy rates are 70% and the country has not had a strong functioning central government and viable economy in decades.

Medical Insurance and rationing: The question of rationing medical care becomes even more difficult when one asks the question, how much we should do to save the lives of premature births and babies with chronic medical problems that will never be able to live a normal life, and be very expensive to care for.

I do feel Tort reform is necessary if we want to stop the doctors from practicing “defensive medicine” intended to protect not patients from illness, but doctors from lawyers.
