David Cameron: An Enigma Shattered
:
..and so a Prime Minister is Born.....
David Cameron spoke at the UK Conservative Party conference on Thursday. He spoke of his vision for Britain and the future that he sees for his country. I listened to excerpts of his speech. I liked what I heard. What I especially found refreshing was the brutal honesty with which he spoke. Conservatives in America need to really listen to Mr. Cameron and his vision. It is a vision of compassion, caring and a belief in the future. It is not a misguided, misconstrued view of freedom without responsiblity for all.
The speech was a speech setting out the British Conservative Party's vision for Britain as it heads into the General Election. What especially caught my attention was his declaration that his party was the party of the National Health Service now and forever. . His valiant defense of the National Health Service when he spoke about his son was moving. I wrote about it when David Cameron's son died: Really Long Link Conservatives in America should listen to him when he said that people had a right to healthcare that is ".....free at the point of use and available to all based on need and not based on ability to pay...." . It is different in America, no matter what the insurance industry and their henchmen in Congress try to tell us. Keith Olbermann courageoulsy and eloquently talked about it during his "special commentary" on Wednesday's Edition of his Program, Countdown. My own sister had a health scare and decided to go to the hospital. She and my Brother-in-law wanted to play it safe and took up the Doctor's advise to be kept under observation overnight. Being shocked at one bill being some 12,000 Dollars (Twelve Thousand) for an overnight stay is just one example of this broken system. It is a system that rations and yes is the ultimate death panel. Remember the twins who were denied coverage by CIGNA which I wrote about earlier.
Stories such as this are around us. Yet, we seem not to have the courage. David Cameron seems to realize otherwise. If only the so-called Conservatives in America truly understood that to conserve means to save and enhance, not to cater to the special interests who have taken America hostage. In David Cameron, I saw a leader that is ready to take on the challenge. I also found his realization of the reality of Governing to be enlightening. It will be quite a campaign indeed. All of us can learn some fabulous lessons from this debate for what can be done differently in America.
