Long lines at the checkout

Halloween just ended last night and folks are already shopping for Turkey Day and picking up on the great deals on discounts for the halloween candy that wasn't sold. For the next couple months, the lines at Walmart will become increasingly annoy. Unlike in previous years around here, all the registers would be open to handle the flow, but in order to save money - it's not happening yet. So, take a chair and your TV and enjoy the wait.

So what motivated me to whine? This morning I was reading some posts on the net and someone who has had a relentless battle with headaches said she couldn't get into the doc until January 20. That's a freaking long time when you're suffering from headaches. So, I'm reading through the comments and one person said that the waiting time should be shorter when obamacare kicks in. My first response was, "You're an idiot." My second and third were the same as the first.

Look back at the first paragraph. A shortage of registers equals long lines. It's simple math. Now fast forward to obamacare. At the moment, there's a shortage of doctors. It's only going to get worse because lots of doctors are planning early retirements. Students in med school are dropping out, because it's just not worth it when they look at the future of what obamacare will do to the medical field.

If we use the same simple math that we used for Walmart - lack of registers equals long lines, which means LONGER waiting times. Lack of doctors, an influx of patients does what? It equals longer lines and longer waiting times. Sorry folks. It's not rocket science. I know you extreme liberals out there believe 1 + 1 = anything you want it to equal, but math is math it doesn't change.

Let’s talk reality.

To the guy who started the protests against Whole Foods (this is not in defense of Whole Foods. Learned they support hamas. I was simply identifying who the idiot on the show who said it. ---Thanks for the heads up Lemon:

Where on earth do you get off saying the majority of doctors want government run health care? Let me enlighten you on the subject of doctors. They don't want this health care plan to go through and here's why:

  1. They will take an even bigger financial loss than they already are from Medicare and Medicaid patients. In case you don't know, doctors only receive a small percentage of what they actually charge. If that isn't frustrating enough, getting the money from Medicare and Medicaid is like pulling teeth on a donkey. It's a nuisance and the other reason a good number of docs won't take you if you are on government help.
  2. Here's a REAL fact for you: There are people on Medicare and Medicaid who DIE because of it. Saw it happen in Brooklyn and elsewhere. They don't always get the best health care. There are doctors who will give you the care equal to what they think fits what the government pays them and nothing more. If it's like that now, how much more so if this foolish government run health care program passes.
  3. Not everyone without insurance DIES because of it. When I had my stroke, I didn't have a lick of insurance. My doc sent me to the hospital for an MRI and CAT. They knew I wasn't insured and did it anyway. Hospitals WILL work with you. They WANT you to have help. Hospitals are NOT your enemy - big government is.
  4. Let's hit one other issue. If you need expensive medicine and don't have insurance to cover it – the pharmaceutical companies WILL work with you.

Our system is far from perfect, but it beats government run. Yes, something has to be done to get costs to lower but socialism is NOT the answer.

In the wrong profession?

To all the politicians who have whined about the Town Hall meetings: If you can't take being yelled at, perhaps you're in the wrong profession.

Next, here's a revolutionary thought politicians might want to think about: People who are passionate about freedom, passionate about the Constitution this country was founded on are going to yell when they see scoundrels throw it out the window as though it's nothing. They're going to yell when you keep lying to them - and you are!

Passionate people aren't quiet. They're not passive. They're not going to sit back and take anything you throw at them without a good fight.

What surprises me is that you appear to be seriously flabbergasted that there are people who are passionate about freedom, passionate about the Constitution and will fiercely fight against you trying to take it away from them. In fact, it infuriates you to the point that you've decided they are evil and domestic terrorists.

To be blunt, they don't trust the government and you've given them every reason not to. They have the sense enough to know the government doesn't know what's best for our country. So get over it and if you can't take it - get out because we will never surrender. We will never give up.

Nazi obamacare. Go take a pill...

Listen to the way the weasel worms his way out of this one by ignoring the question. Listen to the words he uses as he describes his nazi attitude toward the elderly.

Shocking video of obamacare

The things obama says in this video can't be taken out of context. So why is obama trying to turn Americans into some sort of communist/socialist/nazi informants?

Think about it. There's nothing surprising about government take over of health care. Obama lied when he said the government wasn't taking over the banks - and they did. Obama lied when he said the government wasn't taking over the auto industry - and they did. Now why should ANYONE believe obama that he's not taking over health care.

Now, according to FoxNews, a Senator is waiting for obama to clarify his request for people to be turned in for posting "fishy" stuff about his plan on the net. Ok, how on earth can this be clarified? Black and white is black and white. But it should be fun and entertaining to listen to the Kenyan try to lie his way out of this one. He wants Americans to inform on one another and that's that.
