Fox Should Kick Racist Glenn Beck Out 

Fox's beacon of all that is true, just, and patriotic was at it again with this gem, dissecting why the American health care system is more expensive than the Indian health care system.

Not only does he insult the quality of the health care system, but he also takes a jab at the Indian lifestyle and Hindu faith. Why this guy is still on the air still boggles my mind.

About one in 20 doctors in the United States is of Indian origin. 40,000 Indian doctors practicing in the United States had their training in India. Some of the top doctors in the US are of Indian origin. What does that say about the Indian medical education system? I'd say it's doing all right, producing doctors who are both well-versed in their field, and compassionate health care providers. I know this first hand. I almost died as a baby when I visited India, and was revived by Indian doctors. Thank you, Indian health care system.

Seriously though, what do flush toilets have to do with anything? Yea, some Indian households don't have flush toilets. Flush toilets aren't a status symbol. In fact, they're not the most ergonomically friendly pieces of equipment, as far as toilets are concerned. Sorry Glenn, the Western way of doing things isn't always perfect.

Oh Glenn, insulting the Ganges does not help matters. It must be a shame, living in your little world, and finding anything be   yond its borders baleful. Hinduism is the oldest surviving religion on earth, it has endured eons of disparaging remarks like yours, and numerous attempts to stamp us out of existence, and yet we persevere.

Oh ye of small mind and even smaller willingness to open aforementioned small mind to new ideas, do not mess with people who are different from you. Also, angering people who make up the second largest group of people in the world in a country that is rising on the world stage with astronomical speed is not a way to attract new viewers to your show. You have never had a viewer in me (I like my neurons intact), and you probably will lose many more after this little stunt you pulled.

I can't say angering Indian doctors will make much of a difference in the way we deliver care to you. Doctors are bound by the Hippocratic Oath to never withhold treatment  from anyone, whether it be a rich man, poor man, intellectual, or a fool. We (and I mean the current Indian doctors, future Indian doctors, and doctors in general) will never waver from our commitment to providing care.

It's my hope that the U.S. health care system is reformed and becomes more accessible to people so they don't have to shell out money for a plane ticket to some far-flung corner of the world (India or anywhere else) for affordable health care. Yes, they may receive equally good health care for a lower price, but is it worth the trip? You, Glenn, should be turning your supposedly analytical eye inward instead of criticizing the world outside of your borders. Our system is hurting, and needs to be fixed. People who live in glass houses should not be throwing stones. (sospokesaroj.wordpress. com)
