Health Care or the lack of it!

The health care issue is very simple!

It has been made much more complex by the passing of the current health care legislation.

So we must repeal that to start over or amend it so much it will look nothing like it does now.

Public option that is truly public option not a predetermined cheaper less effective health care system that really leaves no options for the employer. The cost will drive companies to use it and decrease the level of service we have become used to in America. As we just saw when we called congress on their ability to inside trade when the rest of us can't. When favoritism is brought to the for front people get it and insist on fairness and proper behavior.

So if congress has deemed the new health care bill O.K. for Americans then why have they chosen a high cost no limits for ever policy for themselves?

Is this the way America wants our system to work? If this President really wants equal opportunity for all Americans then why does Congress and the President have a better health care option than we do. How elitist is that?

I got elected to congress, a paying job by the way ,and even if I stay one term then I get health care unlimited for life.

Who gets that deal?

Separation of church and state. Jesus and certainly no one on TV even said those words, as the President of the United States considered changing his legislation to relieve the requirement that christian organizations would be mandated to pay for birth control for their employees. This is a basic condition on which our nation was formed.

Are we not paying attention? Whether you believe in birth control is not the issue. I don't care what the individuals beliefs are, its the government telling us what we can and can't do that is the issue.

Now let's say the health care bill was never passed.

Here is the solution!

Take the restrictions off of the insurance companies so they can all bid on all 50 states. The way it works now many companies have monopolies in their state or only a few companies can bid .

If all of the approximately 7500 insurance companies could bid competitively the costs would automatically come down and some of those companies would not be competitive or even make it .(Cost down Perhaps 30%.)

Then we must pass tort reform nation wide and put limits on what we can sue for and how much. Like the line item veto we have been talking about tort reform for many years and of course nothing gets done.

The limits on loss and pain and suffering must be much less.

If we don't control the amounts available we can never keep costs down. Personal health savings accounts are also a great idea. These can help supplement medical costs .

Now if you think for a moment the lawyers who run Washington( and trust me they do) will allow tort reform without a huge lobby effort against it you are crazy.

The lawyers make huge fees off of the trials, and they would be severely reducing their income potential. Just like accountants will never allow the flat tax as they would be out of business.

"WE THE PEOPLE" are the only ones with enough power to create these changes.

My sincerest hope is that America wakes up and takes notice of the change that is among us.

This is not the change I was hoping for.

Thought it would be less miraculous.

I was sure having a second grandchild would be no big deal after all I already had a grandson.

Well it is no less of a miracle as it was the first time, only this is a girl.

Yes a beautiful girl so pretty that she can out shine the sun.

Special should be her middle name.

Kidding but not!

I have not had a chance to hold her yet but will in a few days.

Girls are just different aren't they ? They have a way of making you feel that they are in control as they are most of the time.

We like to think we run our own lives, but it is a deception. The woman control all and rightly so as they usually know better.

This little girl already has my number and I haven't even held her in my arms yet.

I can't wait to be with her.

O.K. guys here is what I am going to do!.

If Eli Manning stopped the game in the fourth quarter and took a time out. Then called the entire New England Patriots team over to his huddle and said o.k. boys I am going to throw the ball 40 yards down the left sideline to Mario Maningham on this play because we need a big gain to win the super bowl (break!)

Insane right, would never happen.

Then why are we and our press discussing the actions or potential actions of Israel regarding Iran on every talk show and radio program in the world.

Why would we telegraph Israels actions or potential actions. These things even if we know they are going to happen are not for public knowledge.

Did we say the invasion of Normandy will be Tuesday at 3?

I don't get it sometimes freedom of the press is not licence for stupidity of the press.

We are allies and we should show discretion and intelligence when contemplating covert actions for us or our friends God knows we need them in the future.

Why telegraph our intentions.

It makes no sense.

Education is wasted on the young!

I wish I had gotten it when I was growing up .

I spent most of my youth avoiding school work and not getting it.

Dyslexic , emotionally extremely immature I was lost for many years in my inability to do well in school. I finally matured out of my funk in my junior year in Private school after squandering the high school experience.

I was socially popular yet not focused at all. The reason I write about this is to explain how important the opportunity is we have to educate ourselves.

There is no greater opportunity we have to insure both a life of interest and learning which is exciting and fascinating. The emotional quotient is as important as the I.Q.

An opportunity lost is lost forever?

Not sure of that ,but I do know what a important part of a fulfilled life it is.

We must do all we can to fulfill our journey and live a full life with whatever is our passion. Education is an important element, not the only but one none the less.
