So there I am last night ready to go to bed and I thought I'd check my email and facebook on my trusty Iphone. Liz writes me that she to continue to write things....A friend of mine (Nick) suggested blogging. I think that Blaire thinks it will become cathartic for me and kind of allow me to "vent" to the world. Thusly here I am....well that and I feel like I have something to say and no where (right now) to say it. So what better way to get things out than to blog them to absolutely no one in particular and see what happens....
SO let's get down to the bare bones of today
There I am on my way home from a three day stint at work listening to the radio (a little old schoolish rap) and Eminem comes on and it starts me thinking about the things that have occured over the past few days. I found out that because a president that preaches of change pushed his bill fwd that is going to cost me in execess of 40% on my health insurance per MONTH because I have a unionized health plan. Ouch. So let me get this straight because I don't want anyone twisting what I'm saying here. I'm getting charged more because there are people out there who can't afford insurance....I'm good with that. NO REALLY I AM. In fact I'm excited about that! I'm excited to help those less fortunate that I am. I'm PUMPED about that. Let's review what I'm not excited about.
-Not excited about paying for insurance for someone who owns a boat, a motorcycle, three cars and vacations three times a year but figures state funded health insurance is fine because they've done the research and found that they can manipulate their income to a point where it seems like they make much less than they actually do. This puts them in that golden catagory of "qualifies" and allows them to use MY tax dollars for their insurance....meanwhile I'm still paying good hard earned money so that I can run a 911 call for said patient with hang nail.
-Not excited to pay for health care for non tax paying citezens who continue to use the vast majority of the medicare coverage out there for themselves and their families and then DON'T pay any taxes to pay back into the system. Do you realize that 70% of all the people in CA state prisions are illegal aliens. What do you think the statistics are for illegal aliens utilizing government funded medical care? I mean I didn't finish college or anything but......
-Not excited to(and this is the absolute icing on the cake) watch a democratic system continually be manipulated until it resembles more of a dictatorship than a democratic system. So let me ask you this....if the country's people (that's us) are still split on the healthcare issue....how did it pass? Could it be that the very people that we have voted for continue to do their own will vs. the will of the people. Interesting.....no I really don't think it's interesting I think it's a tradgedy.
Well that's really what I've got for today so what do you guys think?

I agree with you, Beau. In a country founded on the principle of opportunity to be a hard working person who is willing to earn success, it doesn't seem entirely fair to neglect the difference between "less fortunate" and ...well, the others. What did you call them? Manipulators... illegal aliens... etc.
ReplyDeleteps.. i like the blog. :)

A. I LOVE that Blaire signed that as "your wife"
ReplyDeleteB. I also LOVE that you listen to her :)
C. I wholeheartedly agree with this healthcare BS. I can see this change shifting the power from the people to the GOVT, and it's disappointing. Have you heard of the student loan shift as well? Soon Obama will be handing out my loans, or rather, knocking at my door to repay my loans, instead of good ole Aunt Sallie Mae. Really? Let's kill another industry and slash more jobs, because our economy hasn't taken enough hits... Waving goodbye to all those lenders and all their family's incomes.
D. Keep blogging! And give Blaire a BIG hug for me. Now. Go! :)
