The subterfuge that is health care

While we watch with pleasure, or rather while I watch with pleasure, the town hall meetings during the recess, (I just got a phone message that my congresswoman, Lynn Jenkins, R CPA, is having a town hall in my town next week, hurray for her!)  I wonder if this is actually a distraction for what else is going on.  I wrote previously about the Honduran Crises, and what is going on with that, but to update, now the papers are calling this a military coup.  It has become accepted that that is what it is, not the LEGAL ousting of a would be dictator.  But now the state department is considering sanctions to force Zelaya back.  I admire the Honduran government (the legitimate one) for standing up to the OAS, the UN, and the FORMER exporter of democracy, the US, and now giving in to allow the Chavez wanna be (literally) back into the country, and into power.  But now with very little money, and the above mentioned groups cracking down, they now are talking compromise.  And where does the US  stand?  The same nation that defended South Korea against the Reds, that kept Berlin free, where is it?  It is trying to FORCE a would be president for life on the Honduran people.  Truthfully, why are we in arms about health care, when a potential model is being tried, twinked, modified, and established in Honduras.  Seriously, if the US government thinks that they can trump a sovereign nation's constitution, what is to stop them from trumping ours?  WHY are we not up in arms about this?  Why aren't we demanding support for Honduras from our congressmen and women?  Why is the state department waffling on this?  And, what are we doing about that.  Health care is literally the camel's nose under the tent, but we can't focus just on that.
