It seems to me, from the barrage of sound bites I hear of President Obama, that an underlying thread in the health care debate is this notion that everything he is trying to do is about making people feel good.
Need a knee replacement? Take a pill. Feel gooooood.
Got no insurance? Jump on the new plan (whatever that is). Feel good.
Got no money? No problem. Feeeeeeeel good.
Hear me speak. Doesn’t it sound like gravy? Feel gooooooood.
Worried about dying? See a counselor. Feel good. Well, maybe not too good.
It seems like a lot of Obama’s messages have to do with him wanting us to feel good about what he is doing.
Maybe, besides donning him with the title of “Dr. Feelgood,” one of the best solutions for change in the way we think about our health is to take a play from the real Godfather’s playbook. Get up offa that couch, and dance til you feel better.
In the meantime Dr. Feel good has been turned loose and let go.
