Is there hope for a good plan?

I got the below quote from my brother, Dan, in Miramar, who has about as much respect for Obama's health care plan as most everyone does except for those of this administration who are mostly pushing for its very liberal approval. The following conservative thoughts from an unidentified health care professional pretty well sum up my feelings. And with now passing the age of being eligible for their revised Medicare Plan, this really hits home:

"Let me get this straight. They're going to pass a health care plan written by a committee, whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts themselves from it.

Signed by a president that also hasn't read it.

Funding will be administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that's broke.

What possibly could go wrong?"

Time to die?

Euthanasia will be the end for many of our lives provided by our doctors who will have to refuse services due to us being uninsurable because of previously known illnesses. Death will be slow and painful.

I personally got some disturbing effects of its possible approval when I went for a blood work up and the lab required me to sign an agreement and give them a credit card so that if the insurance I have does not cover the cost they can attach overcharges to my credit card without approval. Until now those very high priced charges have been paid in full. I will bet that my doctor will have to get me correct prescriptions with just a once a year or less blood work up if Congress changes anything.

Short story fiction

The media's attention to the plight of Tiger Woods' indiscretions is getting more attention than the upcoming vote regarding our future in health care, much to the delight of the president's Democratic faithful who all have earmarks and attachments for their voters' approval.

Recent news showing Tiger's billionaire wife serving herself at a gas station talking with another person while flashing her lack of a wedding band gives me rise to make a guess.

She may not be as smart as her unfaithful husband but she is at least showing that she is much wiser. After she supposedly blew her top and took after him with a golf club, successfully getting in at least one good stroke, he took off in a desperate attempt to save his life and while barely conscious lost control of his SUV in a very panic driven short spurt. She immediately realized that she had done something that could put her in prison if she continued in that action and pulled his undeserving jerk out of the car before her neighbor arrived to call in the accident.

She now realizes that if she stays with him and he again does something to upset her, she may try to finish the job and she would have to live her life away from her children.

Tiger on the other hand is getting ready to sail the world trying to spend his millions, maybe once in a while playing in tournaments earning just enough to keep his bank accounts overflowing.

He will eventually become just one of the hundreds of other very good golfers capable of first place once in a while.
