What Happens When America Calls Out Sick

Here is a short video from the Texas Tribune that encapsulates perfectly what this country is facing when it comes to uninsured citizens.

 
It talks about the 6.2 MILLION... yes MILLION Texans who have no Health Care Insurance. And guess what... most of these folks HAVE jobs. That's right, they are not lazy bums, but real middle class working American folk. 

Now picture an entire country, not just Texas being in the same sinking boat.

If we allow people to go without health care and they become sick, then the money we will eventually spend on the sick and dying, will bring this country to a screeching halt. No one wins.

Even rich people who HATE to part with their money, should want Health Care for ALL.

Here is the choice: You can pay a little more in taxes now which allows the country to be productive because it's full of healthy people and therefore thrives or pay for it in ways you can't even imagine later by allowing the majority of the people in this country fall by the wayside.

What happens when America Calls out Sick? Well, other countries will thrive economically and look at us like a bunch of morons... that's what.

The Majority of us are NOT rich. So the majority of the people in this country should WANT coverage for all. Yet the Right Wing Crazies don't? Why?

It's like all the insane people of the country got together and formed a club. The Tea Party. Only Mad Hatters and delusional characters please. Oh and maybe a grinning FAT CATor two.



 If you use logic and think about it, it will cost MORE money and ruin our country if the majority of it's citizens are sick and dying with no one to do their jobs.

HOW does that help our country?

There's only one reason the right wing doesn't want it and that's Bigotry.

It's not about money, it couldn't be because it will cost us more then you can possibly calculate (if you throw human lives into the equation) if the majority of the people in this country are sick and dying.

I dare anyone to explain why you don't want ALL AMERICANS to be healthy?

It's completely unpatriotic to start with, it's illogical, it's inhumane and it's un-Christian.

I think it's time we tell the Mad Hatters and the Fat Cats and little miss Alice in Wonderland that the party is OVER

Will Obama Be A ScapeGoat?

So I got a phone call from my Doctor's office tonight saying they had been contacted by my Insurance Provider, who said I hadn't been in for my Blood work and eye tests etc., lately.

I was confused and said that no... only three weeks ago I was at their office and had blood drawn at their office and that I was going to a specialist they referred me to and wouldn't you know it... had More blood work done at that office....whew!!!!! This is not even including the three days of the "Tag You're it" phone calls cause they got my hubby's appointment wrong... You know the drill folks... I wanted someone to blame... I wanted to point a finger...

Then it came to me like a bolt of lightening, that it's a good thing the new Health Care Reform/Law hadn't kicked into action yet.

Like voices calling out in a bad dream... I pictured millions of people blaming Obama for stuff like this. I envisioned them saying things like...

This kind of stuff never happened before....

See this is what you get with "Government Run" Health Care...


This would have never happened before the Government screwed things up...


So the Drippy Hippy is making a landmark Prediction.... when people have a problem with anything that goes awry in the future with their health care.... Obama will be the scapegoat. It's our nature to place blame just like I wanted to do.

The days of cursing the Insurance Companies will be a thing of the past...

It won't be about the Doctor messing up or
about the nurse or the office staff getting it wrong... it won't be about human error... it won't be about bad decisions or Malpractice... it will all be about Obama and how it's His Fault.

It will be his fault cause
he created the system. It will be his fault because he made it too hard for Doctors to do their job. It will be his fault because regulations are too strict.... need I go on?

So place your bets now.... how close do you think I will come to predicting the future?


Fox "News" Made her Think She was Going to Jail..

This is the kind of stuff that makes my hair stand up on the back of my neck. In a Town Hall Meeting a woman was convinced people would Go to Jail if they didn't sign on for the new Health Care Bill....

Here a Republican... tries to explain that Fox "News" has an Agenda... and is NOT reporting facts but instead are reporting stories they essentially "make up" to scare people.

Please watch this...

Doctor!!! Doctor!!! Find ThySelf a Cure...


Is this a way to make the world a better place... by refusing care and breaking the Oath you took... of course this post is about Dr. Jack Cassell, who turns patients away because he doesn't like their politics...

Physician... you better heal thyself or get thee to a good Shrink!

I realize this is just one person... one example of a sociopath... but he represents how morally & ethically bankrupt a Right Winger can be...

Turns out Dr. Jack is crazy... wait til you hear this garbage! And people believe him because he is a doctor!

The Logic... Refuse to treat patients because you "think" Obama will be cutting their care in the future... WHAT?????

Video of Our President Explaining Health Care

This Video was edited to present the health Care Plan in just 4 minutes.

Decide for yourself...

And as my brilliant husband pointed out to me last night... Give the plan a chance. If it doesn't work then we fix it. That's Democracy. You take something that isn't working for the people and change it. That's what we do in this country.

Will this plan have flaws? Of Course it will!!! No system is perfect, no system comes without cost.

Health Care Costs are crippling this country and literally killing people who can't pay to get help. That's a Flawed System!!!! Why keep a system that isn't working and is literally bleeding us all dry....

We have to start somewhere.... so Give it a Chance before you decide about something that hasn't even been implemented yet...

Is This an American Terrorist?

Well I am just stunned. Here is a Map of America with indicators on it exactly like those of the Cross Hairs on a gun-sight. What do they indicate you ask? They indicate the Districts where Democratic Politicians are located. You know... the ones who voted for Health Care....
She literally.... NOT figuratively .... is mapping out who to target! Is she a Great Patriot... or an American Terrorist.... you decide

If you oppose the Health Care Plan... that's fine.... it's your right as an American to do that. If you oppose the current Administration that's fine too, cause in a Democracy we vote! This is Bullying...

The American Public overwhelmingly voted for the The Democratic Party, much to the disgust of a Minority of people... Instead of waiting on or relying on the American Democratic process of voting to show their disapproval... instead these Right Wing Terrorists are becoming violent.

Democrats did not throw bricks through windows.... or spit on elected officials while calling them the "N" word, or tell people to wipe out Republicans like Rush Limbaugh is calling for. They didn't place nooses and coffins on peoples lawns. They didn't blatantly create maps indicating which people to target with pictures of cross-hairs... sending a clear message of what to do.

The only way to counteract Hateful and Ignorant Speech and the violent acts that result from it... is with Intelligent Peaceful Speech

American Health Care is NOT Socialism!

I consider myself, for the most part, to be an Independent politically, with leanings towards being a social liberal.

But trust me... I am NOT fond of the Democratic party. I think the current body of Democrats in the House and Senate are more or less equivalent to weak, spineless jellyfish.

I feel like the two party system has been replaced. I feel like there is actually only ONE party in our Government and its called Politician

All the elected Democrats & Republicans (with few exceptions) basically have the same exact agenda IMHO. They are there to further a career, make money or attain power.It's an ego trip. Very few are true servants of the people. There aren't two sides... two differing points of view working on doing what's best for our country any more. Our current political system is comprised of individuals seeking office for their own personal gain. Few represent the actual People that elected them.

And if they aren't in it for their own gain, they turn into something worse... puppets. Eventually, the "weak willed" officials cave into the pressure of the almighty Lobbyists and at some point allow themselves to be manipulated as puppets for big business...

Even though I have liberal Social views.... I am Conservative when it comes to other things. Thus I view myself as an Independent. But alas... those views are for another day! Today... I am hot & bothered over one thing...

....the current uproar over Health Care!

Someone please explain to me WHAT the problem is with the GOP? I want to understand it. I want to understand what the opposition is over this. So far, the only argument I see being presented by the GOP is based on hatred for other people. If it's NOT.. what else is it? Please enlighten me....

If it's about MONEY.... then why didn't they stop Bush from bleeding us dry? We are currently paying for the multitude of horrid mistakes Bush made (now and probably for the next 50- 100 years) .... yet "Obama" gets the blame as if it's HIS fault.... give me a break! It's insane.

If it's about Keeping Government OUT of our lives... then why do they want to see Laws created..... dictating how we live our life?

If you want Government out of our lives.... then don't ban Gay marriage! How does that hurt anyone? In any way? If you don't believe marriage can exist between the same sex... here's an idea... don't marry someone of the same sex.

If you want Government OUT of our lives, then stay out of the medical decisions and the moral choices women have been making for hundreds of generations.

Don't THOSE two things invade the most intimate, private, personal aspect of our lives?

Okay so it's not about any of those things you say....

If it's about the Crazy idea that Health Care for all Americans = Socialism .... then every law that is in place to protect the public or benefit the public is also Socialism. In case you hadn't noticed... ALL Government employee's have Health Care coverage! Is THAT Socialism? Why is it okay for the people we elected to be taken care of... but Not for the people who got them their job? How is that even moral, fair or balanced

If you are a Republican and are appalled by the current behavior of your party and it's self appointed fanatical leaders... please please please make sure these insane people do not speak for you. Speak out against this behavior ... even if it is your own party.

We can't allow the fringe of people that exists right now to keep spewing inflammatory hate speech and in the process pull our country down.

Debate is good... Opposing views... also good

No one wants a country where you can't speak your mind.... But.... what is going on right now is only fanning flames and pouring fuel into a fire that is already out of control.

If you TRULY LOVE this country.... then don't let extremists ... from either side... take over.

Think about it... if you have a child who did something wrong.... would you cover for them or let them know they crossed a line?

I love this country too much to see it be brought down by people who are incapable of intelligent thought...Don't be scared.... stand up... we can take it...
