A quotation I grew up with in my home.

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:   This quotation was made in the year 1790 by Dr. Alexander Tytler, Professor of General History, University of Edinburgh.

“A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.
It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury.
From that moment on, the [...]

Left or Right?

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:
TO THINKING AMERICAN CITIZENS:
(Pass this on if you consider it worthy)

Let’s review:
Last year, I told all my friends (and anyone else who listened) that Congressman Ron Paul, M.D. was the only viable presidential candidate.
I pointed out that he WON all the televised debates he [...]

RR RE new Insurance Overlords

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:   As a doctor, (who works directly for my patients, taking no insurance reimbursement) I can only shake my head in dismay at the morass we Americans are about to engage with by letting the government insinuate itself (and its millions of bureaucrats) further into the decision making process which should be reserved [...]

Health care reform bill could eliminate alternatives.

Dr. Weeks’ Comment: If you have an interest in your doctor being free to care for you and your family, read this carefully and then call you political friends telling them how you want them to vote on HR2300  the health care reform bill.

TIME URGENT
HR3200   Threat to Alternative/Nutritional Practitioners
Dear friends:
In recent weeks, [...]

Kucinich votes against the Health Care Bill

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:   Obama, by trying to placate everyone  except the people who actually voted for him, by hugging the path of compromise, is giving us no real change.
Even Dennis Kucinich, the liberal progressive idealist from Cleveland agrees with Ron Paul, the Texas libertarian: the current health care bill is not acceptable because it kowtows [...]

Let Congress Go Without Insurance

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:   Our founding fathers never anticipated a govermental system where there is a two-class society – the ruled and the rulers.  How did it happen that public “servants” became self-servants and affored themselves more benefits than those they represent?   great article – tongue in cheek or not,  this makes sense:

Republicrats and Demolicans

Dr. Weeks Comment:   If you are going down the wrong road,  you will agree with me that whether you swerving left (liberal democrat) or right (conservative republican) is a meaningless gesture….  OR,   consider this, every 4 years I spend billions of dollars for faux election process whereby I offer you the choice to [...]

Congress’s Very Own Socialized Medicine

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:  another example of lack of accountability on the part of our elected officials.
Where are today’s statesmen (aside from Ron Paul) ?
Also, if you wonder why AIG made out so well, ask your elected representatives who brokers their own insurance.

Let me get this straight

Let me get this straight.
We’re going to pass a health care plan written by a committee whose head says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president that also hasn’t read it and [...]

Throwing good money after bad – NEJM editor (fmr)

Dr. Weeks’ Comment:  Trusting the government is as foolish as trusting the for-profit insurance companies: the former gives you medicine by committee of bureaucrats (see here), the latter gives you “medicine for profit” and really isn’t  healthcare at all.  I recommend the old fashioned, tried and proven option where your doctor actually works for you [...]
