Flu Shots Availability

This morning on the local Dallas news it was reported that CVS, Walgreens and many physicians are sold out of seasonal flu shots.  They are attributing this to media attention on the flu as well as pharmaceuticals not providing as many seasonal flu vaccines this year.  A BDI Pharmaceuticals sales representative stated that less seasonal flu vaccines were produced this year in order to ramp up for H1N1 vaccine production.

Any Lab Test Now® North Dallas locations are reporting they still have plenty of seasonal flu shots available.  The cost is $20 when purchased individually or free with the purchase of any $49 or more lab test.  Therefore, men can get a $49 PSA test and a free flu shot.  Participating locations include Any Lab Test Now® Plano & Any Lab Test Now® McKinney. 

In a previous blog post I believe I researched and found that on average 30,000 people die every year from the regular seasonal flu.  It would be my guess that having less high risk individuals getting vaccinated this year will lead to a very high death rate.  Dallas talk radio (820am) this morning stated that more seasonal flu vaccines are in production; however, they will not be available until January 2010. 

Do you think H1N1 will cause even more deaths or grossly over-publicized?   A North Dallas physician who asked to remain nameless expressed his personal opinion.  He believes the H1N1 virus is similar in genetic makeup to a swine flu virus that swept the US in the 1970s.  Adults who fought this strain of the flu in the 70’s probably will have immunity to H1N1.  This theory could be a reason the H1N1 is not hitting the adult population very hard.  Reports are showing that children ages 4-18yrs are getting sore throat, stomach ache, diarrhea and nausea.  Adults however are only reporting stomach aches. 

The fact that most adults are not expressing all the symptoms may lead the virus to spread easier.  If an adult was hit hard this could limit them from being able to go to work thereby quarantining themselves.  I have also noticed every H1N1 related death I have researched occurred in an individual with a secondary infection.

National Healthcare

Many Americans think President Obama’s free healthcare is a good idea and do not see what all the fuss is about.  Lately, democrat politicians claim the tea party meetings are republican organized and do not actually represent a viable percentage of their constituents.  California has had a similar free healthcare system in place now and statistics used in this blog are taken from the LA Times.

40% of the 10.2 million workers in LA County are paid under the table in cash and never report this income to the government to be taxed.  It is speculated that majority of these payments are made because at least one party is an illegal alien.  I believe it is safe to say that those that are not illegal do not want to report their income due to the high taxes they would have to pay.

Here are some numbers that show how not enforcing immigration laws is weighing down on society while costing Americans millions in taxes, food, housing and healthcare.  95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.  3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.  Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally, and 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.  The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. 

The numbers are staggering.  Taxpayers can not handle the current government programs and entitlements not counting a new healthcare system.  We are currently feeling the birth pains of how big government spending will affect all parts of the US.  Dallas, Texas is not as far along as the rest of the nation, but we are all in this together.  Similar to Robin Hood, once more liberal states have taxed their citizens into economic poverty they will take from states they are in better situations than themselves to pay for their programs.  I read a month or two ago that Governor Rick Perry uttered that he would rather succeed from the Union if nationalized healthcare is passed. 

Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.  My wife and I are about to have a baby, not covered by our HSA, and the doctor’s fee is $2,600 the lab fees/sonograms total $1200, and the hospital stay is estimated $8,500.  How in the world do they justify taxpayers paying for someone else’s baby?  I realize the reason our bill is so high is because we must pay for another patient that won’t pay.  When you break it all down, hospitals are businesses and businesses make money.  If they don’t make money, they go out of business. 

Here are some cake-topper statistics to show that illegals will be covered by a healthcare system they do not contribute to.  Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages, and nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

What is happening currently in the US is we are creating a slave class.  I think it is horrible.  These individuals must live in poverty and stay under the radar of society in order to stay in the US.  I know several illegals.  One man is beat about once a week by his alcoholic employer.  He can’t report the crime for fear of deportation and he is told that if he quits his employer will have him deported.  This is slavery plain and clear.  Illegals are paid under the table and have found it necessary to their survival to abuse loopholes in the system.  You may argue that all Americans were once immigrants, but the difference is we came here legally.  If all the estimated 12 million illegals in the US were granted amnesty you would see why the US can not handle this many immigrants all at once.  Our system of capitalism thrives in situations of population growth, but this is an extreme exception.  Our economy can not sustain this growth, let alone implementing a new healthcare system.
