Health Care

Thursday, August 19th, 2010

Welcome back!

Health care these days is something that a lot of people are talking about. I realize that here in Texas where we live, Scott & White hospital has some plans that do help people. I have no idea about health insurance in nc.

Each state has its own regulations about how the plans will or will not cover you. I know that when my sister was still alive in Arkansas, those plans weren’t very good. It could be so much worse for us if we did not have the type of medical availability around that we need.

What will happen with the proposed new health care regulations - I have no idea.

Oh Brother…

Well, it seems that the politicians in Washington do not want to listen to the American people. They are wanting to push through the so-called health care bill.

I say so-called because it will adversly effect everyone around. We are a family that has very limited means. According to the bill, we will be forced to pay for health care insurance where or not we actually have $10 to spare. Someone will then determine if we can afford it or not. We already know that we cannot afford it. We count every penny that we have. Lincoln no longer has a beard.

So when my brother-in-law sent me the following e-mail, it really hit the spot.

Dear Employees:

As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barrack Obama is our President and that our taxes and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%. But since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off sixty of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.

So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lots and found sixty ‘Obama’ bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go.. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change…. I gave it to them.

I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.

THE BOSS

It really fits.

Who Needs to Diet?

Monday, September 14th, 2009

After all of the hoopla that i’ve seen these past days. I realize parts of the country need to go on a diet. Guess who I am thinking of here. Try - FAT HEADS.

The FAT HEADS that I am thinking of are the congressmen and the senators in Washington, DC. They want the country to use the ‘new’ health care plan. They won’t use it of course, they have their own thing going with their own type of health care. Of course that is not available to the ordinary citizen. If very soon, they want a pay raise, I believe that we should deny them any pay at all. If you consider the state that the country is in at the moment, they have NOT earned any pay at all. I believe that they have abused the ordinary person in this country. They are supposed to be in office to help, not to hinder.

Yes, I am griping, who wouldn’t.

Is Anybody Listening?

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Ok, I have been reading. I have been watching.

There are so many people that do not want Obama-care that it is unreal. The news talks about the protesters. The politicians ignore those speaking out. People from other countries are making comments. The BBC website has a lot of comments.

What I do not hear is a reasonable way to fix things. Politicians in control of our health created Medicare and Medicaid. Politicians are the ones who have helped this country into having a hard time financially, not just the investors, banks, and stock brokers alone. Why would we want them in charge of our collective health? Remember, they have their own health-care system. They would not suffer.

Did you listen, or even hear?

Well, Obama has had his say about health care. Were your questions answered? Or do you still have questions?

This is what I know:
People in Canada leave their country to come here to get good health care.
People in Great Britain leave their country to get good health care.

Why do they not stay in their own countries if their type of health care is so great?

It is because their health care systems are not as good as what we have here. Yes, it could stand some improvement. However, getting our political figures involved in the health care process definitely is not the answer. Just look at the operating costs of our government and then figure the same type of spending applied to your own health, or lack of health. The politicians will not be using what the regular people will be stuck with after all. They have their own health care programs and do not have to face the same type of paper work and hassles. Why is it so important to force something down the throats of Americans when they do NOT want the interference?
