Do As I Say, Not As I Do - Congressional Motto

How many times have you heard this old saying or said it about a bad parenting situation or even said it to yourself under certain circumstances? Is this not exactly what our Congress is telling us and doing today? Here are just a few examples:

Thy shalt not kill, unless you're a senator named Kennedy

Thy shalt not commit adultery, too many to name except there's always the big one Clinton

Thy shalt pay taxes on time, unless you're Sec. of Treasury or Rep. Charles Rangel

Thy shalt not lie, unless you're Speaker of the House Pelosi

And, the list goes on, the point being is our Congress wants us to live under a system they would have no part of. Let's just take the current issue of health care. How many of OUR elected congress people will stand up and say I will give up my Congressional Health Care Plan that is good for life and take whatever we decide for the citizens? Find one, they're far a few if any. But, this is the point we must MAKE our Congress People live under the same laws, rules and policies they make us live under. Including if you commit a crime oh say like murder, one should be tried, right Senator Kennedy?

I know the folks for the most part reading this agree but we must get the folks that aren't reading it or thinking about it to understand. Businessmen and women should make business decisions not idiots in positions of power that have never made payroll, run a lemonade stand or done anything else worthwhile. We must have leaders that are proud of this country and not apologize for anything our forefathers did or that we have done. As a country we've not been perfect but a damn site better than any other country ever on this earth.

Finally just a quick thought on racism. I have never seen a President more racist than Obama and it is going to lead to BIG problems in the future mark my word. What he said was NO mistake and will be at some point a rallying call. Who was it that said, Stupid is as stupid does? Mr. Gump I believe, think about it, is he stupid or setting us up?

Make OUR elected officials live by the rules that they legislate for us so they can say, Do AS I Say and As I Do. By the way would someone please point out to me where in the Constitution does it say OUR elected representatives shall have privileges unlike the rest of the citizenry?

And, What if the Professor Had Been White?

Let 'em Know How You're Going to Vote

Incredible is the only word to describe the number of anti-Obama emails I get daily.

DAH people and even some of the most liberal are beginning to question who is this freak in the White House, at least we know it's not Michael Jackson. How did this guy from "SomeWhere" get so far without ever having a job? Who's been paying the tab(s) for years. Why won't he show his records? Why is he scaring some of the strongest people in the world. Even Charles Krauthammer, who I have total respect for, is scared of this unknown person elected to the most powerful position in the world. And, has even not stated he thinks Obama is narcissistic.

OK, before the election we were talking about many of the same issues yet Obama won. So what's a person to do? Well there is only one or two maybe more as I think about it answers:

1. Do what you're doing keep stirring the water by writing, reading, and questioning.

2. Ask you're liberal friends to explain why they want to stand in line for rationed medical care? One (Obama) adds 46 to 50 million people to an over-worked health care system of only 800,000 givers and even liberals can figure it out, there's just not enough to go around. And, by the way who's paying for this?

3. Start looking, asking and finding people you think would be good representatives in your state and other states.

4. Get on board with me to hold OUR representatives to the fire if they want to be re-elected then they must sign to live like we do under the same rules, laws and policies including Social Securtiy and health care.

5. Keep asking why and why not?

That's more than 1 or 2 but a good start if you have more pass them on.

I do know we can't sit back and do nothing and we can't just email each other we must start today to awaken the folks that just aren't seeing the reality of what's going on. The government can't run everything and what the government does run it does a terrible job of what it (except the military, when the right person is in power). We have folks in power that have never run a "lemonade stand" much less have to make pay roll. They wouldn't know which end of a weapon to hold unless it had a "White Flag" attached. They hate America and apologize for NOTHING to our enemies. We have to use the only word he knows to get rid of this administration and Congress "Change" before it is too late. We have to start today! And, put back into their vocabulary that it is OUR government and OUR vote that going to make the change!

If you want to know how to get involved at this moment I know of one state candidate I'm supporting for insurance commissioner, stay tuned as we find others I'll let you know.

God Bless America

What's He Going to Apologize for Next?

Folks that know me know that I'm "no spring chicken" and frankly folks I've never seen anything like this even before my adult life.

At the time Obama was saying, "the police (Cambridge, MA) department is stupid I immediately thought oh my God what did he just say? I couldn't believe it then, and I'm even more concerned now. What might this person say next. Furthermore, who is he to be apologizing for our fathers, and grandfathers, brothers, sisters and friends that gave their lives, money and God know what else to help others in time of war and time of disasters. How dare OUR elected official that is probably not even a natural born U.S. citizen apologize for this great country? What is this person trying to really do? With a "Health Care or what is it called today? Insurance Reform Plan" plan that would let elderly rot and make you stand in line for care. Call our police stupid. And, apologize for the bravest and most giving people in the world the US to the biggest bunch of CRAP in the world. Think about it!

I don't know what that man is thinking but from what I'm hearing is his presidential agenda to start another Civil War?

More to come. Let me hear your opinion.

Health Care Debate

By: Dr. Elaina George, M.D., Hostess of Medicine on Call on America's Web Radio


The debate on healthcare reform is in full swing, but no one is paying attention to the long term effects.

I am for universal healthcare in theory. As a physician, I believe that it is a fundamental right. Unfortunately, the way the debate and pending legislation has been crafted, the outcome will result in unintended consequences.

As a physician in solo practice, I am in a unique position to see the outcome if we continue on the path that Congress is proposing in HR 3200.

  1. A single payer system that pays the same rate as Medicare or as the bill stipulates (5% above Medicare) will lead to LESS choice. People are overlooking the fact that most private physicians are currently NOT accepting new Medicare patients because they can’t afford to do so and stay open. There will no reason for this to change if the reimbursement scale adopted.

Unintended consequence: The network of private physicians would be smaller and more patients will be placed in a system of fewer physicians, less choice and longer waiting times to be seen. This would have the opposite effect – what is the point of universal healthcare if you don’t have quality physicians to provide it.

  1. The proposed healthcare bill sets up a bureaucracy run by a National health insurance commissioner and sets up an insurance “self regulatory agency” – made up of national insurers, national agencies, and insurance producers. There are no physicians or patient advocates.

Unintended Consequences: This works on the same model of the commercial insurance companies and is at the heart of what is intrinsically wrong with the system because doctor recommended care and patient rights are not represented.

  1. Commercial insurance companies will follow the rules of the public option plan in

order to compete. They will use the reimbursement rates as their guide and that

would lead to providers leaving the system thereby setting up a parallel system –

and by default a two-tier system. Those with money will simply opt out while

those in the system will likely be subject to more restrictions and longer waiting

times for their care.

The goal of private insurance companies is to increase profits while the goal of the government is to save money, but the end result is the same. There will be a limiting of access and a rationing of care. The government will have no competition that can stop it from continuing to lower the bar – in both reimbursements to providers and hospitals, and covered services for patients.

Taken to its logical extension patient care will be driven by a faceless government entity that runs healthcare on algorithms (e.g., how long it should take to treat a sinus infection and what drugs should be used, whether or not surgery will be allowed under the guise of evidence-based medicine). The art of medicine will be lost along with the innovations provided by physicians who are able to think outside of the box, and the practice of medicine will be irreversibly changed. The best and the brightest will choose any other profession that doesn’t sap their spirit.

It is time to turn the debate to the real culprit in the rise in health care costs. A private insurance industry that profits by excluding the sickest and limits care for its members; a pharmaceutical industry that reaps windfall profits by setting up pharmacy benefit management middlemen who keep prices artificially high while driving the medical formulary; and a hospital system that is charging astronomical prices under the guise of recouping costs incurred by treating the uninsured, when in fact they get money from the government to do just that.

We have the power to revamp our health care system by removing and regulating those entities that profit from disease. This will require the guts to stand up the lobbyists and corporations and say that there has to be a limit to their greed. It will also require the American people to really take a hard look at the choices they make that contribute to chronic disease such as smoking, leading sedentary lifestyle and eating an unhealthy diet.

It can be done.

Time to Act is NOW

Ok, ok eveyone says it won't, can't, will not, no way, happen and yet through these eyes I believe if we're going to save our country then it MUST happen. The answer to all of our domestic problems is simple it is you and me, the voters taking back what is rightfully ours, the United States of America. And, the way to do it is once again not ask but tell our representatives that they are going to start living under the same rules, policies and laws they make us live under.

Gee, wouldn't it be nice to NOT pay taxes for awhile or until we got caught and then only have to pay the original tab, no penalty or interest? Or, wouldn't it be nice to have FREE health care for the rest of our lives that assures we only get the best medical attention and are always, not only at the head of the line, but there is NO line.

There is no place in our Constitution that grants or gives our elected representatives these overwhelming privileges. They, our representatives, have given themselves these privileges and it is time to STOP. OR,

E.D. Hill had a great idea if our representatives won't live under the rules they dictate to us then lets give them an alternative, make our representatives give us the same programs and privileges they have given themselves.

At this point I sincerely hope you've noticed that a few words are in bold type. They are very important words. We must STOP OUR representative or we will no longer be FREE!

I can't do it and you can't do it but WE the People - hum does that sound familiar - can do it because we hold the most powerful weapon and the biggest 2 x 4 (attention getter) of all in our representative's opinion the VOTE.

Send a copy of this and let's put our representatives on notice either they live by the same policies we do or we're going to find representatives that will.

It will work if we work together. America's Web Radio is going to push from as many sides as possible and hope you will help.

Thanks,
David

What's Good Enough For Us, Should Be

Good Enough for our Representatives and Senators!

FINALLY...THE $50,000 QUESTION WAS ASKED!!!!!..... YESTERDAY ON THE "ABC..OBAMA SPECIAL ON HEALTH CARE"......OBAMA WAS ASKED "MR. PRESIDENT WILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GIVE UP YOUR CURRENT HEALTH CARE PROGRAM AND JOIN THE NEW "UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE PROGRAM" THAT THE REST OF US WILL BE ON ????.....OBAMA IGNORED THE QUESTION AND DIDN'T ANSWER IT !!!.....A NUMBER OF SENATORS WERE ASKED THE SAME QUESTION AND THERE RESPONSE WAS...WE WILL THINK ABOUT IT !!!!

Just yesterday I wrote that I could solve ALL domestic issue if we MAKE our representatives live under the same laws and policies they make us live under. Today I'm emailing Rep. Dr. Tom Price and asking him if he will fore go his current insurance and go under the Universal Health Care Program to be proposed. I know the answer - and they'll all cover their asses by saying I would but the others voted against it, BS. Let's get rid of them all unless they will support and live like they want us to. There is NO where in the constitution to my knowledge that gives these bums we've continued to elect the privileges they have given themselves over the years. I'm sicken and tired of it and you and everyone else should be too! So, let's get off our butts and do something about it.

These same idiots are about to confirm a woman bigot to the Supreme Court, don't you care? Just what she did to the firemen in CT is enough to speak volumes. Our woosey Republican minority couldn't stop water from dripping much less this confirmation but the Dem minority damn sure could and did. This person is dangerous and should NOT be confirmed. I wrote my Rep yesterday have you?

We must get together and STOP this insanity!

Apology

Frankly it is hard to keep up day in and day out particularly by yourself and when you're also replacing the ceiling on your screen porch in your "no spare time" day. But, don't take this as poor me, I'm just glad at my age I can still get up at 4 A go to bed at 10 P and have a place to go every day.

Our world and economy continue to be big issues as well as the President - there's just something NOT right. I keep getting interesting information on the folks dedicated to finding out exactly who is our President. Multiple Social Security numbers, not releasing trivial information, why? I don't care if the world knows I graduated from Texas Tech and not on a timely basis either but I did graduate. And, if I'd been smart enough to go to Harvard I'd be shouting it from roof tops. There's just something wrong! A good friend said drop it, well I can't when people are putting their military and professional lives on the line to find out why someone will spend millions to keep US from seeing their records. We know that mr. obama likes sticking it our face and letting US know that he is president with his NON transparency, Valentine dinner to Chicago, quick trip to NY and God knows what else. I can't imagine the stress of the job and the need at times to get away but, he's been away apologizing more than he's been here. Folks I'm real tired of this BS and I don't like an arrogant person shoving it up or in my face. Have you had enough yet? BTW I'm sure other presidents have used maybe abused our tax dollar generosity but NO other person that I can think of has shoved it to US like mr. obama! Think about it.

Now let's look at the piece of "garbage" he has nominated for SC justice. Again blatant shoving it in our face. This person (not lady cause she's not one) is in ALL practical term a bigot! How in the hell can anyone think she would or will be fair on the bench? The only way to have an equal playing field is everyone works to their best ability. Some damn judge can't decree an equal playing field nor can the idiots in Congress.

Which brings me to - Let's all get some balls and address the TRUE issues. I can solve MOST of our national issue in seconds and some others feel the same. Yes, I can solve MOST of our national issue in seconds - Simply make ALL legislators live under the SAME laws and policies and healthcare they determine we should live under. And, that goes for ALL congress men and women. NO guaranteed retirement and healthcare for life after one crappy term in office or 40 years. Our legislators should get Social Security just like the rest of us. What makes one of them BETTER the YOU or me? I've had it! It is broken and the ONLY way I see to fix it is get rid of them all starting in 2010.

I was talking to an interesting young lady last week Ann Lauren - Bella Petite, and it was so refreshing to hear a young person with her wisdom say, "the government owes me nothing and doesn't owe anyone else". Why have we turned a brilliant nation of achievers into a nation of folks that want to be "kept". Take care of my insurance, take care of my housing, take care of me till I die, BULL!

Enough, I'll do better soon in venting my frustrations and if you have a comment let me know my next issue will probably be about the terrible S of the H. God I hope she and the rest of the CA rep or watching the sunset on the beach when the earthquake takes CA. Oops I shouldn't say how I feel about her, pigglet Waxman he's his own carricature, Boxer and other to be named. Stay tuned.
