I've dreamt about it several times... it's called a nightmare. I have no desire to have someone take the fruits of my labor and give it to someone else that isn't doing a damn thing except holding out their hand. I'm not toaking about the injured or people that are mentally challanged.. I'm talking about perfectly healthy people that are playing the system. Why should they work when they can get everything for free?


Points well taken. But what you have up there is exactly the Glen Beckian thought that I am talking about. Your taking a potentially workable idea and throwing it out without discussion because you dont want to see lazy bastards get something they dont deserve.

And I could not agree with you more about that and without a shadow of a doubt those people exist and are benefiting from alot of Democratic polices that are in place now. I'll be the first one to tell you that 99 weeks of unemployment is too much. We occasionally lay guys off that have worked for us (although never for lack of work, just because they suck or are a pain in the ***) and its comical how just about when unemployment is running out you hear they are starting to beat the bushes looking for work......they'd have been looking alot sooner if they new that next check wasnt coming.

So because we have a percentage of the population that are dead beats working the system we are going to dismiss health care reform that could possibly help many people. I dont think the problem is the idea its the execution....2000 pages long and that jack *** pelosi saying you'll have to vote for it to find out whats in it.

I personally know alot of working class people that strictly CAN NOT AFFORD DECENT HEALTH CARE FOR THEIR FAMILY. And its just plain wrong....but we are going to ignore all those problems because we dont want some scumbag gettin a free ride....how about we do something about it and then find out how to get the scumbags off our dime....


When my son broke his leg the total billed to our insurance company was $32,000 for a broken leg. Fortunately for my family our health benefits are outstanding (through the evil teachers union) and did not cost me more than about $50 out of pocket for some co pays.....the insurance company paid about $22,500 which the providers accepted as full payment. Now if I didnt have insurance how much would I have owed, 22,500 or $32,000? Who the hell knows....Ask any insurance actuary how to get insurance rates down and they will tell you to get a bigger pool of customers. Have one insurance company instead of the amount we have now and rates will drop.

Another big part in the healthcare reform is mandatory digitizing of patient records....With my moms current illness a myriad of doctors came in ordering test upon test....fortunately my sister being an RN and there every day with her was able to point out on about a half dozen occasions that that particular test was just ordered by the last doctor and completed. A complete waste of money......

All these things need to be fixed but there are those that wont even address the damn bill because they think its a slippery slope to nationalized medicine by the "obamination"....

It's rediculous.....yes this country is in trouble because of all the labeling bull**** and stereotyping generalizations that politics has become....and I would rather be on the side wanting to change it than the side that just wants it be the way it used to be. Things will probably never be the way it used to be...This is not the 1930's isolationism or the 1950's post world war with a vast open country and vast amounts of natural resources....its not the era of the tech boom where businesses flourished putting a pc on every desk and a cell phone in every hand and a dot com on every screen....times are changing and we need to as well.

I will be the first to admit I am naive but I would like to call it optimism. I refuse to admit there is an evil empire in the white house right now that wants to chain me like a dog to work for him.....I'm just not doing it.
