It has been a week. Harper started to not feel really well last Sunday when we went to Wichita...and it just snowballed from there into fevers and rough nights all week long. She has an ear infection and her nose is a faucet of green snot. Finally Keith relented to antibiotics. She has had three doses so far and is not improving yet...but maybe tomorrow she will be back to herself again. I miss her happy face. Seeing her so sad is hard.
In other news, I am trying to let myself not be so darn worked up over this crazy health care bill and focus on praying for our country because ultimately I have no control. It is not about the fundamental ideals behind the intent of the bill--yes I think everyone is entitled to care and that our system is broken and needs repair, but we need to fix what is broke not create another government run program...we already see how well the others we have created have worked for us.....what will it take for us to learn from our mistakes? Oh how I hope November brings change.
A Nebraska senator posted this on his facebook page today--Obama's healthcare plan is written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress which has not read it, signed by a President who smokes, funded by a Treasury Chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese, and financed by a country who is nearly broke. What could possibly go wrong?
In other news, today was Davis' first day back at school after break and today the sun is out and it is melting the snow. Yeah for that! Carson said the sun was gonna burn it to the ground (the snow that is). Let it burn!

perhaps it would help to read the bill on you own to see what it really says rather than rely on political commentators, facebook posts, &/or forwarded e-mails ... or you could at least read the non-partisan factcheckers (ex/ factcheck.org & politifact.com) frequently lauded by both sides. They do a pretty good job of sifting through political subterfuge.
ReplyDeletethere are flaws to the bill, but the creation of "another government run program" is not part of it. The bill does, however, have support of the American Medical Association, the American Nurses Association and the American Hospital Association, all who demonstrated it by endorsing this piece of legislation; insurance companies expressed their support (& enjoyed the benefits of the bill) immediately today as their values of their stock increased across the board.
Call it what you want, you can use factcheck or any site you perfer for a label, because I call it government run.
ReplyDeleteI just hope down the road we all get to have decent health care...this certainly doesn't provide for that.
I wonder if Jacob has read the bill??? It doesn't matter what is in the bill at this point it is what it is going to do in the long run. Wipe out private insurance. Everyone will be on Government run insurance and your health care will be rationed. You are dreaming and semi un-educated if you think this bill is good for our country and every doctor I have spoken with disagrees with this bill. My son just had surgery and could quite literally have a hip replacement when he is in his 60's. The government will not pay for that...he will be too old and it will cost too much. Socialized medicine is not what we need and to say this is not socialized medicine or will ever become it is ignorant. This is what Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Hilary Clinton, and all far left libs want....they always have and this is the first step. Talk to me in 20 years and tell me you think this was a good idea.
