lets amazon our healthcare system

LETS AMAZON OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM

just the other day i was talking to my wise listener on things
my wife she
she looks like shes listening
shakes her head yes
i know i know she says
all while she is in the social media vortex

i said to her
as she was vortexing

you know
amazon should take over our healthcare system
yep
she shook her head yes
i know i know
as
she was looking at her lit up phone

then
today i read this article
on how amazon along with berkshire hathaway and jp morgan
warren buffett
are planning on
amazoning our healthcare system

i wonder if our condo is bugged or something
im putting duct tape over my laptops camera
right now

when they made this announcement
these stocks dropped
cvs
anthem
united

warren buffett said the healthcare costs are a hungry tapeworm on our
economy

we all know what amazon has done to the retail business
its disrupted it big time
it has created a new way to doing business

just this weekend on saturday evening
i had been looking for a particular organic product ive used
for years in texas
it was not available in this area
i tried to order it from the company
it was going to be hard to do plus expensive
so i thought
ill amazon it
click click and it was sitting on my porch monday morning
all the way from texas

can you imagine what will happen if these companies and their
brainy leaders who think out of the box
could do for our healthcare system
without all the politics thats involved in making a change
one that most agree needs done

i bet warren could get rid of that tapeworm real quick

you know washingtons not going to fix things anytime soon
but
i bet amazon and warren and the money guys will

i say
go far it amazon
you go warren

we need a change
i vote you guys do it

POTPOURRI

twinkies may be gone
the hostess company is over $800,000 in debt and is filing for
bankruptcy
they cant stop making those
ive not had a fried twinkie yet
thought i would eat one after i had my cholesterol checked so
i could recover before the next cholesterol check

maybe they could make a deal with mcdonalds to sell them with
the quarter pounder that i wrote about recently
what a filling meal that would be huh

i dont eat twinkies now but just knowing they are there is important
thats almost as american as moms apple pie

support hostess buy a twinkie today
just dont eat it

warren
he did it
he matched the money donated by a congressman to pay down the
national debt
he will be writing a check for $49,000 as representative rigell from va
donates 15% of his congressional salary to the national debt
any other takers anyone anyone
probably not

tax facts
myth 47% of americans dont pay taxes
fact all americans pay taxes

myth american people and corporations pay high taxes
fact the us has the third lowest taxes of any developed country
in the world

myth cutting taxes creates jobs and raises revenue
fact tax cuts reduce revenue and are not associated with
economic growth
never thought this made sense to me

myth our tax system is progressive because wealthy individuals
pay a disproportionate amount of taxes
fact at a time of income inequality the us tax system is flat
the top 1% are making more and paying fewer taxes

myth the fair tax or flat tax would be fair
fact it would make our tax system even more regressive
the bottom 20% would pay more and the top 1% would pay less
the middle class where most of us are would be hit the hardest

this is from the daily share which has a liberal bent to its articles
but i think most of this above are facts that are true

the prevailing theme of this and everything else thats happening
right now in the economy is that the middle class is getting
screwed and the top 1% are not

our chance to make a change is coming up this fall when we
have elections of the candidates who are picked by the super pacs
who may not be favoring the middle class

it almost makes you not want to vote doesnt it
but its a right i dont want to give up

where is that third party candidate and wheres the occupiers
when we need them

think ill take a prozac generic of course
or
ill just go for a walk with my dogs down to the river
and contemplate all this

wrong pills, warren warns, its cold

WRONG PILLS
what if you went to take an excedrin for a headache
and it knocked your socks off
made that headache or hangover go away
dang good pill that excedrin or

what if you took no doz to stay awake on a long drive
but instead fell asleep after you took the pill or

what if you were passing too much gas and or was belching
too much and you took a gas x to get relief but instead it
knocked you on your butt and you couldnt even f$%^

thanks novartis
they got pills all mixed up in their factory
seems they would leave a few pills in the assembly line when they
changed from making one pill to making another

seems some oxycodone got left behind and got mixed up with
excedrin gas x no doz bufferin

oxycodone is a powerful prescription narcotic opiate that is
a controlled drug

it always bothered me when our drugs were made overseas
as there has been many problems in the past but now it has
happened in the core of america in nebraska

(another reason to always look at your pills before you take them
if they are different dont take them ask the pharmacist about them)

if i opened a pill bottle and one of the pills wasnt the same as the
others i would be suspicious wouldnt you

these werent even generic pills but name brand pills
why are all these reports about the brand name companies

kinda makes you worry sometimes doesnt it

WARREN WARNS
warren buffett
this guy knows what hes doing
wish all the rich guys were like him
wish all the politicians on both sides were like him

he agrees the rich dont pay enough taxes
he even offered to donate $1 to the federal government for each $1
that a congressman would donate
bet he dont get many takers

hopefully congress doesnt make this their new taxation law for
the rich
volunteer donations
yey right thatll raise a lot of money

the average us senator has a net worth of $2.5 million
the average us representative has a net worth of $750,000
and this doesnt include the wifes/husbands monies and retirement and
all the other benefits they make

seems congressmen do a lot better on stocks than the average
citizen does
wonder how all that happened

now if warren was in congress that would be understandable

it appears that congress are the 1% and we are mostly all the
99%

no wonder things arent getting done up there
theres no incentive

ITS COLD
if you live here in central texas its going to be cold today and
for a few days
protect your plants and your pets and your pipes

in the garden i have put a double row cover over my winter greens
hopefully it wont get too cold so this protects them
i also put the same double row cover over my garlic as last year
at this time the cover was blown off and i lost most of my garlic
crop

watch those pipes
we will get in the mid 20s here at the country n so extra protection is
going to be needed

make sure the pets if they are outside have an extra source of
warmness-blankets lights etc

also make sure unfrozen water is provided for pets and wildlife

last year i got frozen plants and broken pipes luckily the pipes
were only in the garden area

stay warm

new bp monitor, pres warren, fb musings

NEW BP MONITOR
when i was in practice patients were always asking me what
monitors to buy
i usually recommended whatever the consumer reports recommended
as they have a good track record on evaluating products
i use to not recommend the wrist ones as they were not accurate

now consumer reports have evaluated two wrist models that appear
to be accurate
they both are held against the heart when the bp is being taken
which reduces errors

the two are the omron 7 series bp652 for $60 and the rite aid
automatic rc210 at $50

they rated 11 arm monitors that all were accurate and reasonably
priced in the october 2011 issue

the best value was the relion hem-74crel at walmart at $46

the best overall was the omron 10 series bp785 at $80

the easiest to use were cvs advanced bp3mv1-1ecvs at $60
            the microlife deluxe automatic bp3na1-1x at $70
            the panasonic ew 3152 w at $130

how to choose
make sure they fit well to get an accurate reading
all of these were found to be accurate
make sure the one you choose is easy for you to use
many have mulitple features to average bp, check for
irregular rhythms, and to tell you if your bp is too high, etc

if youre real techy the ihealth dock bp3 may be for you
at $100

my choice is the recommended best value
easy to use and is cheap and doesnt have all the techy stuff
just the accurate bp reading please is all thats really needed

PRES WARREN
we had one president with the name of warren
why not another one
make him an independent candidate though

he feels like he could fix things by making a law or amendment
that if the gdp doesnt reach 3% then congress cant get reelected

of course i think none of them should get reelected any way

(maybe if the tea partiers and the occupiers of wall street ran
things then between the two a lot of things would be done that
need to be done)

am sure warren would be glad to tax the 1 % more also
which includes himself
maybe he could be the new american select candidate

we need somebody that will get something done
he has a good track record

FB MUSING
