I have been working 12 hour shifts midnights 6 days a week and have just been to tired to be on my computer for any length of time and do regular daily activates.
Thank you for all the happy birthdays!
I do have something to say about health care.
This country needs serious reform in this area. The middle class who have health care benefit’s, a lot have huge deductibles and high premiums Their medical care is not being taken care of because they cant afford to go. For those that don’t have health care they are just screwed. TG for the web and online antibiotics or more would get seriously ill and die of simple infections. A bad tooth should not kill anyone. It is odd to me how our senators and reps can manage their health care it is a government program, and boy are they taking care of ! By the tax payer and the insurance companies. I would prefer a single payer system but that is years away form happening, The optional plan can be tweaked down the line when people are used to it. Now I have heard the threats that a gate keeper will have to be their and heath care will be terrible. If that is the case the insurance companies will have nothing to worry about. But lets think about that gate keeper how many people do you know that have been denied, or their bills rejected because the insurance company didn’t want to pay. The insurance companies already ration health care!
HOW TO PAY FOR THIS here is an idea take a deep breath it is a tax! Lets support a 3% tax on all imported retail items. 3 bucks on every hundred spent at Wal-Mart its not that much. It will help those few *American manufactures, *everyone will be paying. All left over money form this can go to support free medical schools.
*People spend years in college and come out in extreme debt. For jobs that pay far less than a hundred thousand a year. We have some brilliant minds out their who would never even consider medical school, because of cost and Lac of medical schools. It is time that we provide medical schools free of charge for nurses and doctors each state should have at least 3 medical schools with a live on campus. We need to provide this from the time they leave high school until they finish. Add a 10 year contract that caps their wages at a hundred thousand and they are free to practice for more after that. Require they be employed within a year of graduation or they will be placed. If they break their contract then they pay for the education.
*Now for a cost cutting measure. Drug companies, tax payers fund a lot of the research they do, and a lot of it comes from the military. So it is time for the government to tell these cash cows. If we give you tax dollars for research, or military research then you cant charge the tax payer unreasonable prices for the drugs.
If we can afford to give everyone 4 grand to buy a new car,
subsidizes for Oil and gas, Tv converter coupons, Money for Bridges to no where . Special earmark money for companies that donate to campaign funds we can do health care.
The government looks at a million dollars like we look at a penny. I see a million dollars fixing a lot of teeth, taking care of many broken bones and taking care of lots of minor illness befor they become major ones that would other wise devastate a families. And people I have been so broke that a bad kidney infection had me in tears when I lost 15 lbs and had been peeing blood for a month, not because I was in pain but because the 90 dollars for the doctors visit and the 140 dollars for the over priced antibiotic left me short on the rent for that month (that was at the sliding scale clinic). TG for pawn shops. It doesn’t take much to devastate a family and I made just a few dollars to much for any kind of assistance. If it had been worse Me and 2 kids would have been on the street. Their are millions of me's
So please support Health care reform even healthy young people get sick. And something that seems minor can be major. Cranberry juice doesn’t always work. Call your senator and rep let them know you want health care reform and give them a fix, even if it is different than the one I support, other wise nothing will happen or their tax may be bad, we are all better than a politician and can come up with better solutions.
