OBAMA'S GENEROSITY

What do you think of Obama’s generosity in wanting to give each senior citizen on Social Security a $250.00 bonus? As a senior citizen, I personally think he is trying to bribe us into accepting his JACKASS healthcare plan. In case you can’t tell by the tone of my writing. I’m not buying it. I will still vote against any of the morons in Congress who are up for re-election that vote for this loser bill who are representing my district. That $250.00 doesn’t even come close to the hike in my house taxes since they did away with the senior discount of 50%, then they raised my taxes on each of our vehicles, groceries have gone up, electricity has gone up, the cost to heat our home has gone up, and I’m waiting to hear what is happening with our health insurance costs, car insurance, medications, and all of the other necessities of life. Forget about luxuries – there won’t be many of them in our lives in the foreseeable future. Travel is another thing that we won’t be able to do any time soon – if ever. Unfortunately, we do not have a plane supplied by the American people so we can just go go go with no thought as to the cost. He spends way more in one one way trip than we spend to support ourselves in a year.

Obama and some in the Congress apparently think we should just lay down and die or maybe they will concoct a cocktail to help us die so they don’t have to use our Medicare funds to pay for our healthcare regardless of the fact that most of us have paid into Social Security and Medicare all of our working lives. They have said that 38% of the Medicare claims are fraudulent – well, damn it, why aren’t they cleaning it up. They also say there is a lot of wasteful spending in Medicare. They say they will use the savings from this fraud to pay for part of the healthcare plan – well if they can use it to pay for the healthcare plan, they should be able to use it just to keep the costs of Medicare in check. I guess the Insulin Pump that I wear is wasteful even though it is a real asset in keeping my blood sugar where it needs to be and it allows me to be more lenient in the foods that I eat. Now the Government wants to add a tax on the manufacture of these devices and guess who will be paying that tax? It won’t be the manufacturer – it will be passed on to the consumers. The insulin pump is not the only device that will be subject to these taxes – it will be all medical devices retailing for over $100.00.

The poll that was taken by all of the doctors in America was returned showing that 65% of the doctors are against it and 45% of the practicing physicians will resign, retire or just plain quit if this bill passes. I can not understand how they will be able to put between 7 million and 47 million (every time I hear the number of uninsured, it changes) more people on the insurance rolls and have doctors enough to take care of them if 45% of the doctors quit.

I hope Americans wake up and vote out this bunch of non-productive, arrogant, over-bearing bunch of partisan bad actors who are in the Congress. Let’s find some new (hopefully) more honest people to represent us in the mid-term election.
