Conservatives must keep up with the present issues and find ways to apply concervative principals. Cal Thomas, in his editorial today, highlights some of the issues and throws light on how to deal with them as Republican Conservatives. I concur.

Health plans
Hillary Clinton has been advocating changing our individual health insurance policies to a universal health plan. We all know that only 40 million of our citizens do not have health insurance coverage. Right? That means that more than 300 million do have a plan. It also suggests that the 300 million are satisfied with their insurance and are able to pay for it. We also know that indigents (who would include the 40 million not covered) have avenues to take for medical care. They are not turned away from most hospital emegency rooms when in need, and can turn to welfare for help. Rather than change our whole system, why not give the uninsured extra help by compelling each to walk a half hour a day as part of a preventative measure and send them packets of oatmeal and bags of walnuts to insure their health. Wouldn’t that be less expensive to the taxpayer?
