<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I choose the word invented for a very important reason.&nbsp; One does not simply discover a drug and then begin using it.&nbsp; Take, for example, Penicillin.&nbsp; Yes, one can ingest mold and get some sort of an effect, but it is not an optimum effect and as such would be frequently unusable.&nbsp; Scientists took the mold, discovered the part of the mold that had active effects, and figured out a way to deliver it to the body effectively.&nbsp;&nbsp; Penicillin the compound was discovered, but Penicillin the drug was invented by human genius.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are tremendous costs associated with inventing a new drug.&nbsp; Hundreds of millions of dollars must be spent, and there is no guarantee of success.&nbsp; Men do not commit such vast resources to altruistic endeavors.&nbsp; If a scientist wishes to procure funding for drug development he must speak to businessmen of their profit.&nbsp; This will never change.&nbsp; The resources necessary to develop drugs come from selfish businessmen whose only concern is their own profit.&nbsp; If we are to see more and better drugs become available in the future, these greedy businessmen must be successful.&nbsp; They are the heart of science, and they must make large profits in order to keep capital pumping into research.&nbsp; <br /><br />Obamacare in its current form poses little threat to those profits.&nbsp; Like any disease, however, Obamacare is likely to have sequelae, and these sequelae will take the form of attacks on those who profit from medicine, i.e. the very men who make innovation possible.&nbsp; Obamacare is a malignant law born of a malignant ideology and there will be metastases.&nbsp; The most common cause of death in cancer patients is heart failure.&nbsp; Make no mistake:&nbsp; this malignant ideology will eventually steal so much from the heart of innovation that it screeches to a halt. <br /><br />If you are my age, this will have dire consequences for you in your old age.&nbsp; To be blunt, you and I both will likely die much sooner than we otherwise would, thanks to the ideology behind socialized medicine.&nbsp;&nbsp; If President Obama were honest he'd ditch his slogan of "Hope and Change" and in 2012 campaign for re-election promising the young people of America an early death.&nbsp; That is the only possible real world manifestation of his disgusting and evil philosophy.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.takebackmedicine.com/med-student-blog/2010/3/26/what-an-honest-president-would-say-about-health-care-reform.html"><rss:title>What an Honest President Would Say About Health Care Reform</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.takebackmedicine.com/med-student-blog/2010/3/26/what-an-honest-president-would-say-about-health-care-reform.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Kyle Varner</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-03-27T00:34:22Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="description">Former Labor Secretary and Obama adviser Robert Reich speaking at UC Berkeley on Sept. 26, 2007.&nbsp; </span>﻿</p>

<p>I wore my white coat and stethescope, and because of that I was interviewed on local television.&nbsp; I'm glad to have gotten the opportunity to tell hundreds of thousands of Americans why Obamacare is a disaster!&nbsp; I also attracted a couple of lunatics who were very angry to see someone in a white coat opposing their precious entitlement program.&nbsp; Two people actually held up traffic while they yelled at me.&nbsp; I smiled, waved and gave them a thumbs up--this is by far the best way to further infuriate such lunatics.</p>
<p>Within a few hours, the House will likely have passed Obamacare...but the fight isn't over!&nbsp; There are lots of ways for us to attack and undo this legislation.&nbsp; It begins with blocking the "fix" in the Senate, and creating more trouble for the fix in the House.&nbsp; Obamacare needs to be as unpalatable as possible to give us the best chance of repealing it after this year's elections.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We need to do two things with regards to this year's elections:</p>
<p>1)&nbsp; Make sure we throw out as many Democrats as possible.&nbsp;</p>
<p>2)&nbsp; Make sure the Republicans know that they too will lose their jobs if they don't stand firm and play hardball in the next legislative session.&nbsp; What do I mean?&nbsp; No budget until Obamacare is repealed.&nbsp; EVERY nominee and appointee filibustered until Obamacare is repealed.&nbsp; Nothing.&nbsp; Shut down the government if you have to.&nbsp; Have a spine and use it to make Obama sign the repeal of his so-called health care reform.</p>
<p>Do the Republicans have the political will to do this?&nbsp; We must give it to them!&nbsp; Keep up the fight, all is not lost!&nbsp; Freedom in America can be restored!</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.takebackmedicine.com/med-student-blog/2010/3/18/democrats-health-care-takeover-will-expand-irs-power.html"><rss:title>Democrat's Health Care Takeover Will Expand IRS Power</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.takebackmedicine.com/med-student-blog/2010/3/18/democrats-health-care-takeover-will-expand-irs-power.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Kyle Varner</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-03-18T22:27:16Z</dc:date><dc:subject></dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Americans are more afraid of the IRS than they are of a mugging.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Compared to your average mugger, the IRS is a whole lot more harmful and a whole lot more malicious.&nbsp; Is it any surprise then that the Democrats in power love it?&nbsp; It is the ultimate way to subjugate and terrorize a population, to make sure they know that the government is in charge.&nbsp; The House Ways and Means Committee has issued a <a href="http://republicans.waysandmeans.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=176997">report on the ways in which the current health care legislation will expand the power of the IRS</a>.&nbsp; Here are the highlights:</p>
