HEALTH CARE TRIGGER

Well gang there is another attempt to get a government run single payer health care plan. Here's the new twist. Take Alabama, only one insurance company is providing Alabama with health care insurance. That means no competition, which in turn triggers the national health care system top step in with a government run plan. What does the government consider competition, simple one that the private sector will never meet and thus one that causes a government take over.

Don't you love how devious the minds of our elected politicians can get?

MAX BAUCUS HAS 60+ PAYING 5 TIMES AS MUCH FOR HEALTH CARE

Senator Max Baucus (D), Mont. has put forth a health care plan. His proposed government run national health care plan includes fines for anyone failing to buy health insurance, up to $3,800. His plan also calls for 60-year-olds paying 5 times as much for a policy as 20-year olds.
-
Granted the older one gets the more medical attention is needed, but if one's health insurance is balanced, the 60-year-old would be paying the same as the 20-year-old. To charge more for a policy as one grows older is nothing more than penalizing one for just growing old.
_
Look at it from this point of view, as a 20-year-old you purchase a health policy, you pay on it for years without every having the need to use it. Then the time comes you find that you have a health problem that will be expensive, but then again you did paid years for a health policy that you never used and now decades later you are calling in your health policy to cover you current medical problem. Here's a different way to look at it, for decades you invested in a health care policy, no different than putting money in a savings account. Then the time comes when you want draw out some of the dividends to cover a medical problem.

Higher education does not always translate into higher intellect, this as evidenced by the majority of our nationally elected leaders.

RANGLE, CHANDLER, TAXES, ETHICS COMMITTEE

Good old Charlie Rangle failed to report all his income, the IRS wants some more taxes out of him now. But good old Charlie knows how to play the game and sad to say he has enlisted the the help of my representative, Ben Chandler. It you don't know, Chandler sits on the House Ethics Committee and Charlie has seen it fit to help Chandler and two others on the Ethics Committee by contributing to their re-election campaigns. Good old Charlie knows how to hang on to his house seat.

JOE BIDEN, WE CREATED OVER 500,000 JOBS

On Sept. 3, 09, Joe Biden stated we (white house) have created between 500,000 to 1,000,000 million new jobs. On Sept. 4, 09 the unemployment rate hit a 26 year high of 9.7%.

_

Question: How do you measure new jobs being created?

_

The White House is now saying the unemployment rate percent may hit double digits.

_

Question: When the economy gets turned around and unemployment starts do go down, what kind of new jobs will be created?

_

Don't be just a follower, jump into the discussion, it's a healthy way to air out what troubles the country, but please don't sink to the level of name calling, it's doesn't create solutions. When college educated men gathered around a problem on a construction site, they could not come up with a solution for a problem. Stepping forward, a tradesman suggested a solution, it was accepted, problem solved. So no matter your education level, jump in, give your two cents worth, who knows your solution may be the one that resolves a nasty problem.

BRITISH HEALTH CARE

I'm on my 4th book of amateur female detectives that center around small villages in England. In two of the books there was made mention of British health care. The following is take from a book titled "Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death" as written by M.C Beaton first published in July 1998, from page 63 - "It'll be worth it. My Bert said, he said, no creature should have to endure the pain I've had. But you know what the National Health Service is like. My turn'll come round when I'm in my grave." Do we want National Health Care here in the US?

Here is another thought, the US government now puts out over 1 trillion dollars a year to cover medicare. In 10 years that's over 10 trillion dollars. In the latest released health care bill out of the house, it states that it will take 2 trillion dollars to kick start a national health care program. The white house says it will cost over a ten year period 1 trillion dollars. Something wrong with this picture don't you think? A trillion a year for medicare compared to a trillion for a ten year period for national health care, something doesn't add up. Wonder why congress has low poll numbers! What say you?

WHO ARE THE HEALTH CARE ORGANIZERS

I've watched some of the townhall meetings. One of the things that strikes me are the signs. When I looked at the crowds I noted that those for a national health care plan were holding signs that just came out of the printer's shop, while those that were opposed to a national health care plan were holding up signs that they hand printed at their homes. Which group is the organized one? Next time you see the "Health Care Reform Now" bus, ask who may be on the bus who are the organizers, I'm sure they will tell you it's those that are opposed to a health care plan.

OBAMA'S GREEN CZAR SAYS REPULICANS ARE ASSHOLES

Fox News aired a video today (9/3/09) showing Van Jones prior to him becoming the Green Czar giving a speech at Berkly. A woman in the audience asked why a Democratic ruled congress could not get a bill passed, Jones responded by saying it was the Republicans blocking bills, they are assholes. Jones repeated a few more times. You ask how could Obama could selected someone like this for a Czar, that is a no brainer, ask Obama why he calls those opposed to national health care right-wing domestic terrorists. What's the old saying, an organization is only as good as it's top. It's a pity that our politics have moved to the gutter.
