what happened????????

SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE, HERE"S THE REST

Well to continue where I was so rudely interrupted:

'No need to get excited" the thief he kindly spoke "there are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke But you and I we've been through that and this is not our fate . So let us not talk falsely now. The hour is getting late".

First the uninsured. Who are these people? All bullshit aside, they fall into two major groupings, about half that are between jobs and temporarily uninsured and about half either at or below the poverty line who can't afford coverage. There is, total, at anyone time about 50 million uninsured......total That means the real problem is the 25 million or so that can't afford it. My contention is that the other "floating" 25 million,which includes at about half people who work for small businesses, and are better seen as a result of the unemployment rate and small business economic realities rather than a result of the health insurance problem

Now we get to the real issue that no one is talking about and the issue that will result in medicare rationing..The Baby Boomers, seventy six million Americans, whose sense of entitlement and prosperity were built during the prosperous fifties. They have severely effected society at every stage of their life. They hounded Johnson from the White House, they made Job Rolling Papers a large business, they made cowboy/girl outfits a very profitable business in the 50's they put Clinton in the Whit House and now Obama. They will hit the retirement rolls for the most part between 2006-2011. No one has a clue as to how to deal with the cost of their SS and Medicare. Any politician that calls them the problem may as well hit that third rail of the Metro.

the insurance crisis is all about. The govt has gotta find a way to nearly double SS and Medicare or they are going to get kicked out on their ass. Baby Boomers are active, opinionated (like me) and won't take this crap that it is a crisis, govt has known it was coming since at least the sixties.

I'm not going to get into numbers, plans, etc. Suffice it to say that one effort seems to be "sneaking into rationing"...these efficacy panels that are going to "scientifically" determine, by condition what is the most effective treatment plan have no intention of paying, in a few years, for anything else. Guidelines already exist for elective procedures, try and get medicare to pay for cataract surgery for an eighty year old. They'll have to be more.

Everyone involved knows all of this.....especially the political and ballot box fallout.....they are trying to get it done by some uninsured bullshit.

God I hate politicians. They are universally a bunch of lying cowards who can't think more than one term in the future.

Hence the uninsured crisis.....actually the Baby Boomer aging and entitlement process that has been described, for at least thirty years, as a pig through a python. A big lump slowing moving through the digestive process. You think the phyton's uncomfortable, just wait until all these wonderful entitlement programs the the Democrats have given us all these years since 1946 have to swallow the big pile of python poo. They're looking every where for money, no increased population coming to pay for it for at least 30 years and that's only if people start having larger families, no new taxes or the Baby Boomers will vote there ass out, no way China won't want their money----with interest---wait, wait, did anybody look under the bed, how about under the couch cushions........................................
