The...Well, you could go on and on, but so could I.<br /><br />The point is that you're completely off base here.<br /><br />I could have compared cell phones with phone service of the 60s and 70s. Actually that was my original intent, but I wanted something from the government.<br /><br />I could have compared them to the BMV, or voter registration, or the Post Office, or heck, even on how bills are written. I have enough knowledge in all of those areas to make a scathing comparison.<br /><br />But I chose the Space Shuttle because it was workable and simple. Yes the space shuttle is bigger and more complex. You make my point for me.<br /><br />The problem is that despite it's complexity, it hasn't taken advantages of opportunities over the <b>decades</b> since its inception for improvement and advancement. When we're not using our billion dollar onboard computer systems to handle flight navigation and instead are using $1,000 laptops to do it, that's a problem. It's a problem of lack of incentive for improvement, which stems entirely from the monstrous government that is behind it.<br /><br />ObamaCare is mostly service oriented. Well, tell that to the millions of people who won't be able to get new prescription drugs because they're too expensive. Tell that to people who get their legs amputated because that service is cheaper and easier than the meds that might save the leg.<br /><br />Your final point and attempt to move the goalposts fails miserably. You're trying to make a case for ObamaCare and you criticize customer service of private enterprise? Really? You really want to go there? Should we now start talking about the Post Office and the IRS?<br /><br />As for no actual improvement, that's a non truth and doesn't even deserve rebuttal. If you're the only person on the planet whose service coverage hasn't improved over the last ten years it's time to find yourself a new carrier.Chris Of Rightshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04710794462291764688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029850010525302255.post-8479421043811296562010-10-14T16:11:07.154-04:002010-10-14T16:11:07.154-04:00Look at the lifespan of cellphones and all of the ...Look at the lifespan of cellphones and all of the associated problems such as the new iphones 'deathgrip' where it drops its signal - good thing space shuttles don't have problems like that nearly as much as consumer electronics do (high reliability things usually cost a lot of money FYI)...<br /><br />I could go on and on about to why you are so wrong, but I'll make it quick - the complexity between cellphones and space shuttles are many degrees of magnitude different which negates the trivial comparison in your article. Second, the new health care, or 'Obamacare' as Republicans love to call it, is mostly service oriented. So instead of comparing something that is mass produced like cellphones to it, you should be comparing the wireless communication providers such as ATT/Verizon with it whose costs have skyrocketed over the years, who have little to no customer service, and little to no actual improvement (see dropped calls, etc).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
