President Obama has waited for over a year to give us a peak at his idea of a bill, and he brings it out before meeting with the right. Wouldn’t it make more sense to wait and start a brand new bill. One with both sides wishes on it, pared down to some reasonable and passable bill.

Come on guys, this is for the peoples well-being isn’t it? Oh thats right, it’s just for political gotcha’s!!

After weeks and weeks of arguing, blaming, chastizing, and denigrating, the House passed a bill. Oh yes it cost them 300 million dollars to the great state of Louisiana, but they did it.

 Then the great Harry Reid came up with a bill, behind closed doors, without Republican help. Now this bill was so good that Old Harry and friends had to, bribe, intimidate, and coerce their fellow democrat members to vote for it. Senator Nelson of Nebraska, got a sweetheart deal, where NE gets their state funded portion for free for eternity. Wow hard to believe.

This bill that passed does not have the public option, nor because of the deal made with Nelson, federally funded abortion is out. Oh yes and about 12 million people will not benefit from this bill, they will still be without health care. Also you should see the pork in it. You have to give credit to corruption and dirty politics, they’re strong and growing in Washington DC.

So tell me something, what the hell is this all about? This whole bill is more about insurance reform than health care, and continual perks to pharmaceuticals, and greasing the hands of the union thugs.

Some days I am really glad my years are getting shorter, because our wonderfully free, growing, exciting, useful, thoughtful, nation is going to Hell in a handbasket.

The free enterprise system IE. insurance companies are struggling with their version of health care system management. They keep cutting services and benefits to their subscribers in an attempt to turn a profit which is demanded by stock holders. If you are lucky enough to receive health insurance benefits from your employer you are in most cases required to pay a portion of the premium. Kinda expensive isn’t it?

An acquaintance of mine was unlucky enough to make a trip to his local emergency room to have his dislocated shoulder relocated. He was there for four hours, two of which were in the waiting room. They put him back together and sent him on his way with a bag of pills and a bill for $3500.00. This my friends is outrageous. I know that the health care provider will tell you that they have to charge that much to cover the overhead of their shiny castle and make up for those that don’t pay. That’s a bunch of bunk.

No one seems to question the bill pill makers. No one seems to question the x-ray machine makers or the large health providers. Mr Obama? Are you there? We now control the banks, the auto industry, and student loan programs. We dare not let this go any further Mr. President. You may want to control the national health care but the health care system is broken and broken badly. If you want to do something start at the other end. Fix the  high prices, control the big pill makers. OH! that’s right, I’m sorry they are major contributors to the old campaign and a few of them are sitting on your advisory panel. Guess that won’t work either.

Like Granny says, “Aint No Use Fillin” The Bucket Till Ya Fix The Hole” Mr. President forget about the Olympics. Help our soldiers, consider your Generals requests, and look up trillion in the dictionary.
