I so worry about Obamacare and what it will do to the healthcare of our society. If we were even in line with the healthcare provided in Canada, we would be getting better results for the dollars spent in the United States. I have a number of close friends who are living with no insurance, are not eligible for Medicare and cannot afford to purchase private insurance on their existing income. I am spending a fortune that I don't have in my budget for a Medicare Supplement Insurance Policy. The time will shortly come when I cannot afford that either.
There's is a Battle to be fought and WON here ,,It is looking like the Right/ Media is performing just like Romney did in his campaign ,, that is "Standing Up for the American Citizens" and "FIGHTING" for them .Everything 44 did in his first term is "Low Hanging Fruit" and after the first debate ,, Romney forgot how to "FIGHT" !
Benghazi-Gate ,, will sink 44 and his Administration ,, Period .
Shocking that you "Rush" ,, have not brought this ,, to the front line of attack .
Let's not let this Battle ,, dribble down on our shoes , like Romney did .
Attack ,, attack ,, attack ,, make dam sure that Congress investigates this ,, NOW.
We the American Citizens ,, do not want another Fast & Furious dribbling on our shoes .
When a sitting President is responsible for Abandoning two dozen Citizens to "DIE" in Benghazi .
We deserve ANSWERS!
I've heard ads for a lawsuit aganst 0care. If it's a tax, can't the House defund it? I mean, if any of the R's had a pair?
I'm sure he's right that Dems will find a way to blame the fallout on Republicans. They won't attach the blame to Obamacare. Everyone get ready to watch our elderly die sooner than they should because they won't be allowed to take advantage of advanced drugs and care from the doctor. If the doctor can't show that he's making your health better, they don't get paid. How many of our elderly get treatment all the time but they are still on a downward path? A lot of them. Their lives are being extended, but they aren't becoming younger and aren't going to be able to show improvement. Slowing down an illness is not an improvement in their health, so the doctors won't get paid. If the doctor won't get paid, he won't take the patients and they will just have to take pain pills and not get treatment to slow down the dying process.
I want to hear a lot more detail about how this is going to work. I do know that doctors won't get paid if they can't show they improved or cured the patients ailments. How that's going to be applied really matters.
Why are we always talking about what was and what will be? Does it really do any good to preach to the choir? I guess it does if the choir has the money and advertises on your radio show. Voters only seem to respond to what is happening at the moment of conception. The here and now. Teenagers don't care about fore fathers, fast food workers don't care about next years taxes and seniors don't want to join any fight. What have we lost today, what have you done for me in the last few hours and who will make me believe that I don't have to die from neglect this week? The only way to deal with the voting blocks that exist today is to convince them that they will have everything that they want tomorrow, but we must always convince them, today. The Democrats know that tomorrow is a mythical creature that does not exist. The lies that they tell today will be expired as soon as the sun rises after the darkness goes away.
sDee,
It doesn't matter what we want. The idiots have elected corrupt idiots. There is nothing your or I can do about it. We have let the system educate our children, we have let our society become more and more depraved ever day. We failed to stand up to these things. We did not put our kids on the straight and narrow. Now America will fall like Rome. There is no stopping it. Enjoy the ride!
Someone help me please. Why are we forced to pay for health insurance when it's supposed to be free? forgive me for my ignorance, I just don't understand this. If we don't choose to pay for our own, then we have to go under the govt health care? is that how it works?
Obamacare is a healthcare system that is now funded on a tax to all the citizens. NOT privately funded incentive or benefit that one would traditionaly have gotton for work compensation. Or fee for services. Elections have consequences. We no longer have the greatest healthcare system in the world. WE now have what all the other countries have as their healthcare.
Thank you. but why does everyone say it is free? Currently, my wife has no insurance. I am a veteran and fall under the VA. What will happen to my wife? Will I be forced to purchase insurance for her? Or what?
My mom is convinced she will not live to see the end of Obama's 2nd term. She was hospitalized twice in August. As of 10/1, under ObamaCare/Medicare cuts, any re-admisson within 30 days will not be paid for. My beloved mom turns 80 in 5 days, and her despair breaks my heart.
I miss the 80's so much. More and more. Ronald Reagan will forever be one of the, if not the best pres we ever have. It's hard to see that the world I remember in the 6o's, as a kid is sooooo far removed. I'd cry, but I fear that once I start I could not stop,
Ronald Reagan gave amnesty to 3 million illegals. We now know about 12 million more. That is a disasterous presidency.
libtards:
one day soon you will finally realize your folly, but alas, it will be too late. healthcare exchanges, how Orwellian....
"We are the Borg, Resistance is futile"
Doors, you'd get more people to follow the links you post if you give some hint as to what they are about. Many people won't follow a "blind link", but are more likely to do so if they have some clue what it's about. I do t his myself for these reasons.
We are not close to bottom yet. A year or two there will encourage the sinners to repent. The behavior of a Liberal, when the money well runs dry, is a site to behold. Glad we have the guns along with those in the thin blue line. Blaming the voters is feeding the beast called the GOPe. Wise up and we will recover sooner. The people do have the power and the first step to realizing that could be Nov 6th, if those in denial wise up. The sooner the better, that we bring the secret fear of the two political parties, to the surface. That will be a very positive day. The power is with the people. Turn off Fox and all National media. They are not our friends. It is time WE make the news and not them!
I hope Texas really does sucede from the union. Everyone will move there just to get away from Obamacare.
I think Texas should threaten to leave if the administration doesn't pull back there ridiculous health care law.
After Supreme Court ruled in favor of Obamacare, that's when I thought it was now the law of the land, even with Romney as president. Boy, that was depressing listening to that.
Still hoping our governor will join others in not setting up exchanges at the state level.
All of you that voted for 0bama you wanted this now you got it. When your hours get cut or you lose your job, look in the mirror for someone to blame. When your care is cut by the death board you obamaroids claim doesnt exist you might want to look into the Independent Advisory Board before you start complaining.
Countless numbers of us warned all of you this nightmare was coming, you didnt want to listen. Actions have consequences...
Every conservative talk show host and Fox News have been sharing this information for years just like Rush states and still only 35% of registered Republicans saw fit to get off their couch and vote this time around. The Democrats did not win this election the Republicans handed it to them and now we have to deal with this Socialist garbage. Don't blame the Democrats for this garbage thank the idiot Republican sitting next to you that could not take the time to go vote. This is sickening and this country will never recover from this, now I am wondering what kind of deal Obama had in mind when he was talking to then Russian Prime Minister when they thought the mikes were off.
Correct, do not blame the Democrats. We all know and have known since Obama's first election what he wanted to do to this country. Blame the lazy Republicans who just couldn't drag their asses off the couch long enough to put a stop to it. So yes blame the Republicans and not the Democrats.
Who listens to Rush Hannity or Levin anymore
I don't and have turned them off
None of them are talking of the fraud that won Obama this election
They have rec their talking points from the GOP
The party they refuse to tell the truth about
We need a new party run from the grassroots
espousing conservative policy
We won't get that from has been Rush et al (he is losing ratings)

ooooh, "holes in dry wall", I never thought of that. Thanks! I tried paper airplanes, but they kept veering to the left (I thank you).
This SUCKS.
p.s. For those of us not on Twitter, would you consider posting all of your great links on Facebook so we can "like" them?
More depressing news. Virtually all the news since NOv 6th has been depressing in one way or another. I'm looking for some good news. If you see some... Grab it.. It's rarer than gold dust inside a rainbow these days! But we struggle on... Another day... Another mandate... Sorry... NO happy ending on this post either. :-(
Keep an eye on this news:
This Friday is the deadline in which states have to tell HHS if they plan to setup the healthcare exchange or not. Several states have already said no (TX and VA), but let's hope many more of them do.
That will help ObamaCare implode in on itself. HHS will have to setup the exchanges and that will take a couple of years longer than if the state did it.
Obama's amerika reminds me of East Germany when I was stationed in West Berlin before the Wall fell. Very depressing...
Here's a little Wolfie. Sorry if a little O/T but trying to help Wolfie and others smile a little.
The thought of getting rid of The wicked witch of the west!! Ah!! Now if we could only convince her flying monkey Reid to go with her! :-)
Sheriff Joe is a true Patriot!
:-D <-- Me smiling again! Thanks for that Orangeone! :-)
Yes ma'am I do! I would move to SC in a heartbeat it that state secedes and he is part of the new leadership!
Okay I'll take the "no no" for posting this O/T but what better way for us all to smile than watching and listening to the gentleman from South Carolina Trey Gowdy with Greta on #Benghazi and Betrayus resignation.
Lots of small businesses with 50-70 employees will lay off to get that number to 49.
I have a solution. Why not designate employees as contractors? They are no longer salaried but hourly employees. Of course, they would have to fire them then hire them back as a contractor. They would be able to pay them more, but they will not be labeled as employees. Therefore, the individual worker would enroll in their own health insurance.
Employees would lose "security", but America was never built on job security. Unions forced that thinking on us. Security is a European socialist concept. Americans believe in risk/reward and individual liberty.
Contractors make more money. Screw company benefits. I was forced to go from contractor to salaried employee in 2009 at the defense contractor I work at. I lost over $25k in salary. But they stated "you make up for that with our benefits package, including 401k and health insurance". I can no longer "opt out" of my health insurance. Heck, I tried, but I could not even "opt out" of my 401k!!! I hate 401k's. I use other investment vehicles that make me much more money than a stupid 401k, but no, I have to enroll because I am a salaried employee now.
There may be a silver lining in all this. America can go back to pre-unions by converting most of its employees from salaried to contractor. I sure would like that better, both as an employee and as an employer (small fitness business).
Jasper:
Your post on salaried vs. hourly employees is very thought provoking. Thank you.
This is what "fairshare" looks like. Welcome to Obamaville.
Totally avoidable... stupid idiot lemmings. Spineless Republicans. So avoidable.
