I have been asked multiple times who I am supporting for Governor and I have been reluctant to offer up my support simply for the reason that certain members of the Republican Party attacked me for having high functioning Autism and have continued to do so and I'm tired of being ostracized and deemed inferior for being different, and I'm tired of being treated as a Sub-human species by Republican BPOU members in Carver county and being blatantly degraded so that aggressors can Push a political agenda. Isnt it time that we move beyond the school yard bully tactics of Special interest groups? doesn't the most conservative county in the State deserve more then the village idiots and schoolyard bullies in its representation? Let's be pragmatic: confront our Taxes, our education system, Healthcare and our infrastructure and vote for Data-driven Initiatives that improve and sustain our Communities.
Every year we sit here and vote the same people into office. Every year we grant the same people power to harass anyone who dares to oppose them. Isn't that what the GOP was built on? Contrary opinions and If you put in the work it shouldn't matter if your Jewish or Autistic or Black or Asian or Blue or Gay or straight or male or female.If you work, if you dream, if you push you can get there. What have we come to that morality is subjective. We espouse morals values and limited government and we're going the opposite direction. The last time we voted for a Republican for a Republican we voted for Pawlenty /
Molnau .They promised infrastructure... A bridge collapsed, our System was left to decay,..they promised tax reform. Our went up, They promised reform for the metropolitan Council and nothing got done because it wasn't politically convenient. Doesn't the most conservative county in the entire state deserve better then blowhards and Ignorance? Isn't it time for Carver county to settle for something more then the broken promises, faulty rhetoric of the past and situational ethics that we've heard over and over and over.Tonight I'm making my decision and it's a decision I've made to support legitimate solutions for Carver County's infrastructure, our taxes, our business community our Educational system and I'm supporting Republican Ramsey County Commisioner Blake Huffman for Governor because Im sick Of the lies and the broken promises, and for the fact that he's not Pseudo -Pro life Blake recognizes that all people have worth, he supports policies that promote life and Self Sufficiency. I have full Confidence he will get things done for Minnesota and I hope you will join Blake nd I in supporting legitimate Data driven solutioms for Minnesotans too.
There's an old saying " if you have no idea where your going, any road will get you there " thus the Real question on healthcare reform becomes how do we as the Republican Party create a legitimately "American " Healthcare System Which focuses on our strengths and our values as a country rather then our weaknesses? Remember despite objection the Democrats offered a solution that was hard to understand and easy to manipulate utilizing the Political machine and it's accompanying rhetoric. It did not offer a public option or an all. Inclusive "Medicare - for - all" scenario. The trick is to remember the GOP existed before Reagan and trickle down economics and look to the philosophies of such notables as Dwight Eisenhower Teddy Roosevelt and Richard Nixon.The Republican alternative should strike a balance between public financing and accountability and private finance and accountability. The solution to Healthcare reform had been around for well over 3 decades and was first proposed by Richard Nixon and a bipartisan Congress. Here's how it works:Everyone In MN and potentially surrounding states through earnings, employers, public assistrance, etc have a choice in a major healthcare company (Allina Health, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, CenterCare Health, MayoHealth, United Health, etc) and has an option for 1,2,3 ,5 or Life time membership. Price competition creates an incentive for companies to provide services the elderly and disabled. Effective diagnostics and solutions to our ailments begin to Play a more significant role because it's natural for humanity to place a higher priority on being healthy over being sick. The annual price of a plain becomes more so dependent on the length of time of the plan that you sign up for And at the same eliminates the need for an intermediate insurance company And it allows for claims of 15%-50% of premiums to be put towards at risk, overly -healthy and persistently sick demographics. Which is essentially the way a free market economy should work. In 1994 the GOP opposed Bill Clinton's proposed overhaul of the American Healthcare system and developed the concept of Medical Savings accounts, they came to support the rhetoric driven idea that the Average American recognized the difference between a need, a want and a nice thing to have when it comes to healthcare. Medical professionals came to recognize by our illnesses rather then by our potential towards health . Hence the reason why Orthopedic suregeons have developed their surgery centers along main highways and routes of major public access such as the Vikings Headquarters in Eagan. It also is most likely one of the reasons Minnesota Gastrointestology has maintained such a large monopoly on colonoscopies and gastrointestinal procedures. This is clearly one solutions healthcare reform but the AHCA has the potential to be of significant detriment to American Citizens. It's not transparency, it's largely based on semantics and to be blunt it's just poor public policy, the American electorate deserves policy initiatives that are driven by empirical data. Isn't it time we move on from Unproductive partisan rhetoric and get things done for Minnesotans. I certainly think so.
