I know, let’s let them manage our health care!

In the mail today I got a letter from the Unemployment Office (which is nice, considering I’ve not received any payment yet) stating that I am eligible for benefits because I was “discharged for not performing the job to the employer’s satisfaction.” My old employer said they weren’t really given any choice but “Couldn’t do the work” or “Misconduct”. Nothing in between. Now, last week I got a call from the “Agency For Workforce Innovation” (as they call themselves). I saw “FL ST” on the...

So they changed the astrological signs, eh?

I saw somewhere that somebody of the left-leaning persuasion was aghast that in modern times people could believe in such nonsense. You would think that with all the evidence at one’s disposal, the belief that somehow the stars determine the events of your life would be impossible to buy into to. Yet we still have newspapers prints columns on it every day and the shifting of the Zodiac calendar is considered newsworthy. Funny, I feel the same thing about those (both left and right) who...

Quote of the day

My view of our current situation

We're in a car. The people we let drive the car aren't too keen on keeping the car on the road as they're busy milling in the back of the car, handing out whisky and hors d'oeuvres. I'm sitting in the back, telling everyone that hey, we're going to crash if we don't get someone to drive the car correctly and I'm being shouted at to shut up because the song on the radio is SOOOOOO good. Enough people in the United States now desire services more than they value freedom that simply 'switching...

It was never about 'care'

It has always been about control. At least Rep. Dingle (D- Москва) is happy to admit this for us Let me remind you this [Americans allegedly dying because of lack of universal health care] has been going on for years. We are bringing it to a halt. The harsh fact of the matter is when you're going to pass legislation that will cover 300 [million] American people in different ways it takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps that have to be taken to put the legislation...

Here's your wake up call

From an anonymous friend on chat Anonymous: My client is a healthcare company. It's a lot like that episode of Battlestar after they found the scorched earth Anonymous: people just walking around dazed. And pissed. ... Anonymous: we expect to lose about half the doctors before 2014 Anonymous: based on a survey we sent out to them last year Think healthcare is expensive now? Wait until it's free. And there's nobody to give it to you.
