POST DEBATE IMPRESSIONS
its always interesting to see what comes out of a debate

apparently there is a group of women called walmart moms
not sure who they are but they thought obama won

i conjure up visions of those pictures of women from
facebook and social media who are morbidly obese and have
those skin tight almost see through pants on
makes me queasy just thinking of the visual

apparently the walmart moms have replaced the target moms
and the soccer moms
guess because of the economy women cant afford to go to
target and cant send their kids to soccer so they can only
afford to go to walmart

hope im wrong on that visual

then mitt said according to something thats gone viral on social
media that he got a binder of women when he got to be governor
to the victor the spoils

i know thats not what he meant but its what he said
and social media loved it

i think that next time or next election they need a timer that
goes off at the 2 minute mark that is loud and annoying and then
a real annoying sound gets louder and louder the longer they talk
you know like on the radio when the announcer wont go to
commercial so they play music that gets louder and louder until
you cant hear them

also the moderator needs to have a handheld buzzer that if they
wont shut up she just pushes a button and a zapper on a
shock collar zaps them util they shut up
like the ones on dogs for barking or going outside a perimeter

bet on the first debate mitt would have just kept on going anyway
and obama wouldnt have ever been shocked
mitt had too much red bull and caffeine for that first debate

or what would be better would  be to put them in their suits
with real big old boxing gloves and head protectors inside
a large cage dropped over the stage
with no rules and just let them go over it
like a good ole tomcats fight
who ever is left standing wins the debate

seriously though
this debate was a good one
none of them will ever be perfect
the democrats think obama won
the republicans think mitt won
the general consensus across several news media sites is that
obama had a slight edge over romney

my impression of the debate is the same

now we have 3 weeks left
wish the debates were over now
and the election would be determined by what the campaigners
do over that time period

i sure am glad that i dont live in a swing state since
we dont have to deal with all those political commercials
since the outcome here in texas is pretty definite

i did run across this article this morning from the nytimes that
is about how the campaigns both of them are monitoring
us the voters on the internet
we thought it was just big brother and google and facebook

almost makes you want to give up googling facebooking twitting
and whatevering we all do

be sure and vote

health care, more on sushi

HEALTH CARE
so the law that passed congress on healthcare was unpopular
all of one party and some of the other party opposed it
it was a political issue in the november elections
it was taken to the supreme court and ruled constitutional
it was deemed unamerican and would be the downfall of america
it was a tax and forced on americans
it was unamerican

however now years later if you are 65 and older and no matter your race
religion or political views or your health status you are on
it and are probably glad you have it
its accepted that that will be your health insurance as you get older

its called medicare

now fast forward several years
the affordable health care act or obamacare or now
we all get to have health insurance no matter what law
these same things are being said that were said years ago about
medicare

i predict if you fast forward years and as you your kids and your
grand kids look backward they and you will say
what was all the fuss about
we all are covered now
the health care system will be accepted as we now accept medicare

here is who should be happy that the health insurance law is going forward
almost all of you
remember over 50% of you are already on a single payer system ran by
the government
not many of you will be taxed for not having health insurance
very likely no one that reads this blog will be

if you are a female (which is over 50% of you) you should be happy
you are now not a preexisting condition
you can can get those preventative office visits that yall all have to go to
and now your birth control is covered
your rates wont go up because of your gender and that baby you are
having or will have  will have to be covered

if you have a child with a preexisting condition-that could be asthma
allergies  any surgery  any injury  any belly pain  headaches  add
aspergers  autism  seizures  frequent ear infections and numerous 
illnesses kids get-then previously your health insurance could be denied 
or coverage for these things could be denied
and your child could not get insurance

it happened to us
our son had some surgery and because of this when he was no longer
on our policy he was denied insurance from many companies and those
who did insure him refused to cover anything dealing with that part of the body
now he would not have had any problems getting insurance

if you have a preexisting condition and you are a adult
remember all of you if you have gone to a doctor have a preexisting condition
you may not be able to get coverage or can be dropped or if you get
coverage your premiums will be higher

i am able to hike 4 hours down into the grand canyon  hike 9 miles in the
hills of lost maples  work eight hours on a construction site  work here at 
the country n and have a normal blood pressure  a normal cholesterol 
and a normal bmi
but im uninsurable because of my diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment
thats likely due to alzheimers disease
if my wife were to lose her health insurance at work i could not get any
health coverage
now with this law in 2014 i would be able to get insurance

if you have a serious health problem have a premature newborn have
a long term bout with a terminal disease such as alzheimers  huntingtons
als  cancer  emphysema  heart failure etc you could easily go through all of
your annual or life time maximum that is placed on your coverage and you 
would be left with no insurance coverage for that illness
the new law prevents this from happening

if you have a son or daughter in college or just getting out of college or
just starting a new job or just getting out of the military they can now
get on your health insurance until they are 26 years old
then they will be able to buy an affordable policy on their own

much of the opposition to this health care law is about problems with
medicare  medicaid  increase drug costs  increase in health insurance premiums
folks those problem were here before this law
they will still be there after the law is in full swing and
if the law had been disallowed would still be there
that is a big smoke screen

also i have noticed that many of those who are opposed to this are not
really affected in any way
theyve got coverage-many are already on a government insurance
most are males
but their wives and their children benefit from the new law
none will probably ever pay the tax for not being covered

in summary
all this political rhetoric is really all a smoke screen to get rid of obama
we all know its true whether we are a republican  democrat or independent
and thats your right as an american citizen to try to oust a politician that
you dont like
i do the same thing when i vote
but not at the expense of so many americans

how could so many people benefit from a law and people be
opposed to it

when we all look back to this time sometime in the future
we all are going to wonder what the heck was the big fuss about
just like what happened with medicare

we will all be on the health insurance system in some way
and will all be glad we are
much like we are with medicare when we turn 65

thank you john roberts
