Sounds like Claycity is getting ready to run the roads and chase the girls again!

i missed the bay minette meeting but bonner is having another one friday, tomorrow at 8 or 9 in robertsdale. i am going to go just to listen. i am all for sme ideas for change i just dont know what to do. but there doesnt seem to be any shortage of that, its like shooting clay pidgeons, one side thows up an idea, the other side blasts it down and vice-versa. i think this is all a conspiracey to detract our attention from brittany spears, angelina jolle, and jene young

morning carl again probably. i dont have any ilusions about myself being on the dole for getting tri care for life. i know and will swear i was promised healthcare for life, but i cant find it written down anywhere. it was IMPLIED that i would have access to uniformed military healthcare facilities, at that time the greatestin the world. when they shrunk the infrastructure in the 90s and came up with this new military healthcare idea i was offered this 70/30 expansion of champus as a substitute. then whewn that was revealed as a poor option they finally said look you werent promised anything in writing. so i have some empathy with the UAW types who are going to loose what they feel they were promised as well.i think it was president wilson who learned the lesson about aggrivating a bunch of veterans, veterns were trainied to use guns by the way. i see many sides. but a state employee doesnt have a leg to stand on, its not thier money,they pay 15,00, you and i pay the other 805 of thier monthly premium.  the only ones who have truely private insurace are those buying private blue, an employee provided plan is none the less taypayer underwritten in one way or the other.

Obama wants to get rid of Medicare Advantage, because he doesn’t understand it and thinks it is a rip off.  That kind of tells ya what you are up against.  A guy that hasn’t done his homework or even bothered to read the bills being written in congress.

His only goal is to buy union votes and cut deals with the huge pharmaceutical companies.

The social security fund would have been almost self funding if the politicians hadn’t raided the fund a good while back and spent it for their pet projects.GREAT1,you are already paying for other’s health care,not through taxes but in increased premiums for your own policies and probably paying more than if you just had a tax to pay.I believe I pay $93 a month for medicare out of S.S. and an extra $60 for blue advantage and I’m all for helping these that are working every day and still don’t have the money for health coverage.I still have to carry coverage on the wife also with a company,so I don’t really feel I’m on the dole.
I’m willing to suffer a little more to help these young families that have nothing to rely on.I don’t like the Idea of a government run one but you have to start somewhere.We have too many at this time mooching off the system that will never contribute a dime to help the health care systems no matter whose or what kind of plan is passed,for it to succeed.We need one plan for all AMERICANS,not one for the feds or what ever and one for us.

In 2005 the Census Bureau said there were 46.5 million people in America that were uninsured.  Liberals like Michael Moore took off with that number and began to repeat it until some thought it was true.

What they fail to mention is that the Census also broke that number down into groups.  Once non-Americans, those making over $50,000 a year and those that already qualify for other programs are removed from the total it leaves about 13.9 million - 8.2 million people in limbo.

That problem should be addressed, but I can’t see trashing a system that serves almost 250 million people to do it.

we are already being taxed, medicare for our seniors who feel it is an entitlement, and higher insurance premimums sharing risk with our co workers so they can get childrens braces and thier teen aged daughters can have babies. one set of braces eats up a year or mores premium and they have other visits as well. make it a payroll tax and all the wage earners will pay.

Who exactly is healthcare not available to? And why should I have to pay through taxes for someone else to have health insurance.

if that figure that the state is paying is an accurate representation of cost, 820 a month for single coverage, i can only imagine what the cost is for medicare aged folks. sure they pay a premium, or co paybut i doubt it covers the cost. and loke social security, its self funding meaning you and i are paying for the cost of the care the seniors are now getting. there are NO easy answers here. except for the plane and camp david, i wouldnt have that job of president. but the plane s too cool.
