Random stuff…

This is from a discussion at the Socratic Club at OSU…

Worth thinking about… Just sayin…

In other news-

The GW CSG is onstation off Tacloban and the Marines have moved V-22s into the area flying from Cebu Airport to support the relief efforts.  But I find it interesting that there is VERY little coverage (and some appears actually negative) as to whether it will be enough…  Considering that, to my knowledge, no other major support operations are anywhere close to actually being in place including the UN, Red Cross etc.  I find it rather interesting that what the Navy and Marines are doing is being downplayed like it is…  I can’t help but wonder if this ties back to the administration’s desires to ‘minimize’ the military…

Here locally, Kaiser has dropped INOVA Hospital from it’s provider list.  This is rather interesting, since this is the major hospital that serves Alexandria and Southern Arlington Co.  Also, it appears United Health is dropping a LOT of doctors, especially those that provide Medicare/Medicaid treatment… Link HERE.

There is also a lot of back and forth going on about the ‘changes’ to obummercare that the Prez did Thursday and it’s legality… The congresscritters finally got off the dime and at least the House passed a measure, but who knows what the Senate is going to do?  Article HERE.

The dems own this and are running like hell to get away from it, and BO is backed into a corner…  I’m amazed at the Dems talking heads continuing to say it’s all the Pubs fault… And Pelosi flat out lying on TV yesterday…  Next thing it will all be Bush’s fault!

And Oprah (spit) is out there saying this is ALL about racism…  Link HERE.

Personally I think this whole cluster is nothing more than a stepping stone to the administration’s goal of single payer controlled by the government…

And THAT scares the hell out of me…

  1. “Personally I think this whole cluster is nothing more than a stepping stone to the administration’s goal of single payer controlled by the government…”
    That’s what many libs are saying the result should be.
    Fortunately they don’t have the House.
    But we don’t have the Senate.
    So it’s either stalemate, or some dems break away to reject Obamacare, enough to override.
    Oh, please Lord Jesus let it be.
    And the Insurance Companies won’t be on board for single payer, and they have the advertising resources to expose the downside to the public.

  2. “I can’t help but wonder if this ties back to the administration’s desires to ‘minimize’ the military…”

    No doubt.

    “There is also a lot of back and forth going on about the ‘changes’ to obummercare that the Prez did Thursday and it’s legality…”

    I’m at a loss to understand how it can be legal for a president to direct federal agencies to ignore (break?) laws passed by congress. But what I really don’t get is why no one has challenged his repeated violation of such laws in court.

    “I’m amazed at the Dems talking heads continuing to say it’s all the Pubs fault… ”

    And the media’s parroting the dems’ talking points.

    “And Oprah (spit) is out there saying this is ALL about racism…”

    Double Spit!!

  3. Mrs. Crucis and I have UnitedHealthcare Medicare Advantage plans. Fortunately for us, our docs weren’t on the list. I thought Advantage plans were to be ended but so far, we still have UHC coverage for ours.

  4. What part of “fundamentally change” didn’t these twatwaffles understand?
    He said it … repeatedly.
    And now they’re surprised?
    And they get POed when I say “I told you so!”
    Reap, sow.
    Harrumph! Had an extra helping of indignation for breakfast this morning.
    Off to sharpen bayonets.

  5. Hell, Obama HIMSELF used to argue that massive health care insurance reform such as this was only a “first step” on the path to single payer, which he preferred. He pretty much stopped talking about that when he got ready to run for the White House, and the press obligingly Memory Holed it for the masses. . .
