PRIVATE ~Political~ "Dogs With Bones" (These People Vote). Rant and More

There is a reason for me to save this; although I do not know what it is yet.
Just a gut feeling if you will. Perhaps the blatant lies at the end about me writing to people. Although admittedly, I did receive a note regarding it- In praise by the way, of what had been said by myself and CaseyAnne.

Please do not feel as though you even need to read the whole thing. Like I said, there is a reason for me to save it all...
But if you do, please do not share this with anyone else...

Love to all

As you know, I am "for" HR3200, (which is our Health Care Reform Bill).

I have already blogged the facts of the bill here (CLICK), along with links to substantiate any questions that might have come up as a result.

I have prided myself, (thus far anyway), with not posting gossip etc.
This entry breaks my own record there too.

As I previously have written in one of my blogs, "I do NOT tolerate drunks, druggies, liars, thieves, or cheats. (Or bloggers that, having NO life of their own, can only gossip and lie)..."

This entry may be construed as my own gossip session. 
But is it gossip if it is true?

In accordance with Multiply TOS, I must give credit to where this came from
Actual Blog from here: CLICK 

I have changed and/or eliminated names to protect the __________

"SOUNDING OFF" Aug 13, '09 6:08 PM

(steps up on soapbox, keys megaphone, clears throat and begins.....)

Well beings I missed out on my "my opinion monday", I've had alot rolling around in this brain of mine and have decided that I need to get rid of a little bit. So, hang on to your hat....I'm sure it's going to be a bumpy ride.

We've all heard about this (so called) health care reform crap...(and it is crap....)

We hear about it almost hourly either on the radio or the tv or every morning in the paper.

Several blogs have posted link after link so that "we may read it" but come on...who in God's green earth has the time to read over 1000 pages of rethoric.

I've heard more than once that I should stop watching tv because they don't give all the facts....BUT does these links really have all the facts.

Most likely the 1000's of pages of crapola are on websites that are all for this so called reform bill.

I applaud all those at the town hall meetings that have been going on across the country for letting their elected officials know that they don't want what they are offering. I was watching one of these meetings on C-span just last night and several people stated that they'd rather give up their jobs and sit at home and watch tv than accept what Congress is offering up as reform...THESE PEOPLE WERE DOCTORS!!!! Now what does that tell ya?

I don't like what they are offering and I sure as hell hope it doesn't pass...as do alot of people across the country. This bill is nothing but a big joke and a load of crapola. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!

(climbs down from soapbox and leaves the stage.......)

-------------------------------------

Here are comments from some friends of hers....

-------------------------------------

I have to admit that living over the other side of the pond that i dont know a heck of alot that is going on!!!!
but you usually know what your talking about [Person], so fingers crossed the powers that be find a better proposal.

hugs to you

-------------------------------------

Agree totally.. It is the biggest bunch of crap I have ever seen.. With as many fights as they have had about it and all the people in an uproar they best decide not to do that.. I think if they do, people are going to be fighting like hell to get Obama impeached along with a bunch of congress and senate.. They best remember they are coming up for re-election.. People are pissed over it and they should damn well listen..

Great post.. Big hugs and love!

-------------------------------------

You won't get any arguments from me.

-------------------------------------

Jury's still out over here.....I wind up having to look at all sides of it both as a patient and as a person who works for doctors.....My brain hurts just thinking about it....

-------------------------------------

Now then...

The shit hit the fan when I opened my mouth, not truly realizing the mentality or inability to understand what I was dealing with.

Guilty as charged Sweetie;

But the link "I" supplied was the government link. All 1038 pages of it.
And if the gov't was "for" it, it would have passed already, right?

Although I would never tell anyone not to watch TV etc, I figure if I have time to sit around and read blogs, then I have more than enough time to read 1038 (easily double spaced mind you) pages of something that will not only affect me, but my children and grandbabies as well.

My friends blogs will keep while I take a little time to read, google and read some more.

On my page alone, I have at least 4 people who NEED this bill passed for themselves.

When we all sit quietly and truly think of others, then there is a real need.

By the way, you have never said WHY you are against this?
Why you do not think America needs this? Hmmm?

XOXO
Me

-------------------

Person, in reply to my "By the way, you have never said WHY you are against this? Why you do not think America needs this? Hmmm"

Because the only one that wil benefit from it is the friggin' government that's why!!! And also all the deadbeats that can get off their asses and get a friggin' job to get their own health insurance instead of expecting hard working people like myself to pay for their needs. All this so called reform is going to do is put more tax burden on our kids, their kids and their kid's kids. Yes, my daughter has a medical card because it saves me almost $300 a month on my insurance at work....BUT I pay a monthly premium for her to have it too. Everyone wants something but they don't want to work to get it. Senior citizens and especially veterans have paid for what they get...which isn't nearly enough. If more people would get off their asses and WORK for what they want instead of standing at the mail box with open hands every month, maybe this country would be better off.

Obama is a joke! He's put this country deeper and deeper in debt than it already was and who's going to pay for it? Guess we all know the answer to that one....JOHN Q. TAXPAYER...that's who!

Sweetie;

First of all, I would bet that your daughters medical card has your state neatly embossed on it. So then you are speaking out of both sides of your mouth.

Secondly, not everyone who is unemployed is a deadbeat.

You DO realize that having a job right now only makes you one paycheck away from being unemployed, don't you?!?

(The same would hold true for everyone else standing in line waiting to cash their paychecks)...

You have also very neatly grouped every unemployed American together.

I believe that is very very cold of you to do so.

Would your opinion then relate to the legitimately disabled amongst us? Your neighbors, your friends, those who are in a a wheelchair, housebound etc?

Are they really ALL "deadbeats"? I think not.

If this reform does not go through, then the 'average' healthcare premium will be over $22,000 per person!

I know of hardly any people that could possibly afford such an amount! Do you?

Does your job permit you to pay that much? I think it does not, given the fact that you do not even own your own home.

Will your daughters education permit her to be able to pay such a premium? Oh wait, 1st she has to repay her student loans, if she goes on to college in the first place. (And remember that the student loans are covered by the same government you are trashing right now).

Your answers are all in my blog entitled "Health Care, No Fear, Only FACTS"
http://flintville.multiply.com/journal/item/840

This, from those FACTS,

Lie #5: Obama's health care plan will bankrupt America!

THE TRUTH: We need health care reform now in order to prevent bankruptcy—to control spiraling costs that affect individuals, families, small businesses, and the American economy.

Right now, we spend more than $2 trillion dollars a year on health care.

The average family premium is projected to rise to over $22,000 in the next decade—and each year, nearly a million people face bankruptcy because of medical expenses.

Reform, with an affordable, high-quality public option that can spur competition, is necessary to bring down skyrocketing costs. Also, President Obama's reform plans would be fully paid for over 10 years and not add a penny to the deficit.

And yes, I have linked all of these facts so that no one can say otherwise and even remotely be correct.

As far as to whom will pay for it.
Yes, John Q will.

That is, ... unless you want something for nothing. hehehe

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2009/jun/24/paul-krugman/bush-tax-cuts-health-care-probably/

Even high estimates for an early draft of the health care plan are "less than the $1.8 trillion cost of the Bush tax cuts."

Bush tax cuts greater than health care? Probably.

"I'm not that worried about the issue of costs," Krugman wrote. "Yes, the Congressional Budget Office's preliminary cost estimates for Senate plans were higher than expected, and caused considerable consternation last week. But the fundamental fact is that we can afford universal health insurance — even those high estimates were less than the $1.8 trillion cost of the Bush tax cuts."

There's one other implicit assumption in Krugman's statement.

He writes, "But the fundamental fact is that we can afford universal health insurance — even those high estimates were less than the $1.8 trillion cost of the Bush tax cuts." We know the CBO report scored the first draft at $1 trillion, but we also know that CBO determined the draft was not a "universal" plan -- only about a third of the uninsured would be covered.

So... would a truly "universal" bill still come in under $1.8 trillion?

"Absolutely," said Kenneth Thorpe, a health care expert at Emory University. He said draft version of the bill could be modified to expand coverage to everyone and trim costs, and he thinks the total cost of that would likely be just over $1 trillion. He said the Senate Finance Committee is working on a new plan now, though it has not yet been released to the public.

"I think that you can provide universal health care coverage for all 46 million of the uninsured for just over $1 trillion," he said.

***************

Are you understanding any of this a bit more now?

***************

http://spectator.org/blog/2009/06/25/obama-wants-to-let-those-pesky

Who gets to decide under the Obama plan? Families.

Period.

Not the government - and not hospitals and insurance companies, who do so today.

But the government can require that hospitals and doctors provide honest, necessary information to help them make a decision.

(That's what Obama is talking about).

OR,
You would prefer that insurance companies and hospitals suck grieving families dry by promoting expensive procedures that provide little more than false hope?

The anti-reform, government will turn old people into soylent green, hyperbole typical of the American Prospect will not help resolve the very real problems with the American health care system.

***************

Just who are all these folks that seem to be unable to fend for themselves in their doctor's office?

I can answer that one. It is the people who choose to remain UNINFORMED, and would rather sit back and argue ignorantly about what they "think" they know.

You are, SELF ADMITTEDLY, one of those people!

Your comment to me was precisely this on the aforementioned blog of mine.

You said, verbatim now...

"I can make my own intelligent opinion and decision without reading pages of legal mumbo-jumbo."
(No. You cannot).

My own reply "Perhaps I should have just said uninformed then.

One simply cannot make rational decisions based merely on hearsay.
That is called speculation for a reason."

You then stated, "Sorry but I am NOT uninformed."
(Yes, you are).

My reply, " Mama always said:
"If you can't be right, be wrong at the top of your lungs."

The following definition (of what you say you are not) is almost 400 years old.

I will not simply "guess" my way through all of this.

You either read the bill so you know what you speak of, or remain, um, sadly uninformed.

Oh wait, 1st she has to repay her student loans, if she goes on to college in the first place. (And remember that the student loans are covered by the same government you are trashing right now).

I have found NO colleges, universities or tech schools that have not increased their fees less than 5% this year.

So what she will be repaying is going to be more and more and more until she finishes her education.

Keeping in mind that you are always one paycheck away from being a deadbeat, how will she be able to pay for this should you become unemployed or disabled or chronically ill in the meantime?

This bill would assure that you be able to include her on your insurance until she is 24 or 26 (can't remember offhand)-

That is, IF you are still working....

Think about what might happen Person, you cannot think everything will remain the same for the next decade of your life.

As an added thought, why not open your opinions to the public?
After all, if you are right about this, you will have many here to agree with you

------------

In response to my "As an added thought, why not open your opinions to the public?

First off, this blog IS open to the public. NOW I will set the record straight as to MY opinion."

You take everything that is said and turn it around to suit your point of view. THAT IS WRONG especially on someone else's blog. That's why I quit commenting on your blog because no matter what I said, it wasn't what you or anyone else wanted to hear. It's almost like if I don't agree with everyone I am wrong.

I NEVER said that everyone on unemployment is a deadbeat. I never said that everyone on disability is a deadbeat. There ARE deadbeats on all forms of assistance and when they are reported no one does a friggin' thing about it but look the other way. Deadbeats are those that FAKE their illnesses or use stupid crap as a disability to get everything handed to them. Just like the twitles wonder at work. She's using the fact that her husband has diabetes to abuse FMLA. THAT IS A DEADBEAT!!! Why does she need FMLA when in fact her husband works 60 plus hours a week. If he's able to go to work on a daily basis, then there's no reason for her to have FMLA. She only wants it so she can take time off when ever she wants to and not get an occurrence. As far as I'm concerned a disability is someone that has a physical problem. Mental problems such as depression and anxiety and all that crap are NOT disabilities. They are treatable diseases that DO NOT keep people from working unless that's the route they choose to take.

in reply to my "given the fact that you do not even own your own home."

Just what the hell does my NOT owning my own home have to do with any of this? My business is my business, not yours or anyone elses.

[Person] in reply to my "First of all, I would bet that your daughters medical card has your state neatly embossed on it. So then you are speaking out of both sides of your mouth."

How is it I'm speaking out of both sides of my mouth? I PAY a monthly premium for her to have her care which is exactly what I do with my insurance at work. No difference. I pay a co-pay when she goes to the doctor (which thankfully isn't often) and I pay a co-pay for any meds she would happen to need. All her card does is save me some money which in today's world means everything to everyone. At least I'm not being a "deadbeat" to society and the taxpayers.

I am happy that you have clarified the fact that "as far as you are concerned"

Fortunately for many many disabled people, doctors and those in/of medical profession actually KNOW that these "diseases" profoundly affect the physical body, manifesting in heart problems, circulatory problems, digestive problems etc etc etc.

This has been a known medical fact since the early 1970's.

You are totally wrong.. Heard it out of Obama's mouth himself that 65% of the uninsured they are trying to cover are the illegals.. Why in the hell should hard working taxpayers have to support illegals coming in to this country and taking away the jobs from our own citizens.. Bunch of bull.. They already get everything for free and send their money from our jobs back to Mexico.. The democrats are supporting this 100%.. Most people who work and don't have insurance is by their own choice.. Don't want to pay for it so they go without and then bitch because they don't have any.... I have read this health care bill and it is nothing but, trouble for this country and our senior citizens and disabled..

Then our kids and grandkids that have to figure how to pay for all that damn spending the government is doing that should not be done..

Obama himself has said over and over that he support euthinization. I don't care how freaking sick you are that is flipping wrong. If you are meant to go you will.. If it isn't your time then the government helping you to die is bull shit..

Our new government is sucking us down to nothing.. Taxing everything under the sun to cover their pork barrel spending... People having a hard time living as it is and then everything goes up because of all the new taxes.. So it is either eat or pay bills. Duh, you eat.

It is people like you that think this plan is so great that is going to support him and make this a socialist country... And they call us unAmerican.. Right~~

Sorry [person].. I do not mean to argue with people on your page. That is not me but, this is a situation that I can not keep my mouth shut about. Obama is killing this country as a free, wealthy country..

It is my opinion that doctors have created hypocondiracs!!!! I do not go to the doctor for every little sniffle, sneeze or hiccup nor does Cee. We go ONLY when it is necessary. Unfortunately most people today will take a doctor at his word that they NEED this test or that test or they NEED this med or that med when in fact they really don't. Doctors are making drug addicts as far as I'm concerned.

What a crock of crap! Who stated this? Obama?

It's called shopping around and getting the best deal which is what the company I work for does. They look for the "best bang for our bucks".

Not sure what YOU read? Or heard?
Hmmm ..."Saturday Night Live" does not count.

Illegal Immigrants Will Be Covered. FALSE

"In fact, the House bill (the only bill to be formally introduced in its entirety) specifically says that no federal money would be spent on giving illegal immigrants health coverage:

H.R. 3200: Sec 246 — NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS

Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.

(Of course YOU read it, so you already know this)...

Note too please that under current law, those in the country illegally don’t qualify for federal health programs.

Of interest: About half of illegal immigrants have health insurance now, according to the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center, which says those who lack insurance do so principally because their employers don’t offer it."

If you truly want to know, you will come read all of the links enclosed and numbered in my own blog. (Which would of course include reading HR3200)...

OH but it's ok for you to do it with my words, thoughts, feelings and opinions? Talk about calling the kettle black! I was NOT hiding it from anyone!!!!
It is my opinion that doctors have created hypocondiracs!!!! I do not go to the doctor for every little sniffle, sneeze or hiccup nor does Cee. We go ONLY when it is necessary. Unfortunately most people today will take a doctor at his word that they NEED this test or that test or they NEED this med or that med when in fact they really don't. Doctors are making drug addicts as far as I'm concerned.

Sweet Person;

I did not do this to your words. I actually "" "QUOTED" "" them so they would NOT be misunderstood.
...Not surprisingly, that didn't help either.

As for the hypochondriac analogy, do not use that in the same breath as you speak to me. You KNOW I have turned down many xrays, and have argued with my own doctors (and Caseys) innunerable times.

***

Again I must reiterate... (Hopefully for the last time too).

(Copied from above).

Just who are all these folks that seem to be unable to fend for themselves in their doctor's office?????

I can answer that one.
It is the people who choose to remain UNINFORMED, and would rather sit back and argue ignorantly about what they "think" they know.

Person, you are SELF ADMITTEDLY, one of those people!
Your comment to me was precisely this on the aforementioned blog of mine.

You said, verbatim now...
"I can make my own intelligent opinion and decision without reading pages of legal mumbo-jumbo."
(No. You cannot).

(Verbatim means 'word~for~word' by the way).

Those were your own words!!!!

I stand by each word I have said, written and linked.

There ya go again...twisting things around to suit your way of thinking. I did NOT say anything about you or anyone in particular being hypocondriacs now did I? I merely stated that it is MY opinion that doctors "make" hypocondriacs. Why so defensive on that statement?

Why do you keep calling her ignorant? She has a right to her own opinion just as you do.. But, you aren't stating your opinion.. you are stating what you think is fact.. What makes you so sure you are right and what we heard out of Obama's Mouth and read on the is all false? So as I believe you are the one that is uninformed.. I am not going to argue with you at all..

Don't know where you think you are getting your so called facts but, I have been getting mine directly from the senate and house bills.. So when I hear someone saying they are getting their facts from other sources, they are usually TOTALLY FALSE~

About illegals not getting federal monies is totally bull shit. They all get welfare, free medical and out of Obama's mouth free college tuition. Really burns my ass to go to the hospital for something and walk through the emergency room.. There are never less than 50 of them there, with sniffles and crap.. If you have an emergency you are going to wait 5-6 hours to see the doc.. That is frickin bull..

Won't go to a doctor where they are forced to pay..

I am on Medicare if it is any of anyone's buisness. Have been for 6 years and that is why this bill sucks.. Most people can not take rationalized health care.. Some people do go when they have a little sniffle but, most don't go unless they have to.. I pay my damn premium every month along with a premium for secondary insurance. So go ahead and call me ignorant.. I don't care.. As for my kids and grandkids, I don't have to worry about them. We got them insurance policies when they were young and right now they could retire and live comfortably the rest of their lives. As if that is anyones buisness either.. As for the 22,000 in premiums that is the biggest bull I have ever seen.. I pay around 1500 a year and it sure as hell isn't going to go to 22,000 in 10 years.. Totally ludicrous.. You need to think before you open your mouth.. Most everything you have said, anybody with a brain could figure out it is ALL false.. Just a damn scare tactic... Which is exactly what the news is saying today.. Obama knows he is losing his battle so now he is going back to campaign tactics.. People already know he is a liar from hell so that isn't going to help him one bit..

And if that crap you stated as truth were true then why is it at all these town hall meetings won't they answer the questions when they are asked.. Because they don't want people to know they are frigging lieing through their teeth..

I wouldn't come to your page and argue with you. Rail against the truth my butt.... You wouldn't know the truth till it slaps you in the face and Obama takes everything away from you and owns your life..

First of all, HR3200 IS the bill in question, is it not?

That is exactly where I am getting MY information. Not from radio, or the telly, or at the water cooler either.

I do not coffee~klatch so not getting it there either.

You keep asking where I get it all from, and yet I have been told NOT to post any links. Makes no sense to me.

Like yourself, I am on Medicare. (So there WILL be no more arguing there)!

As for insurance policies, that is a good thing for your kids and grandkids. Unfortunately though, those policies pay only after death. So...

HOWEVER, we are speaking of "health" insurance, not life insurance.

They are not even closely related, so I have NO idea why you would bring that up?!?

I was thinking before I wrote anything...

Life insurance policies? (Who is messed up now)?
You asked about the $22,000.

Here it is although you will need a bit of Mathematical Methodology and Integrity to understand it.

The actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services forecast that per capita medical costs are expected to increase 71 percent over the next decade. With average family premiums currently a bit over $13,000, the expected cost of a family policy would be over $22,000 in 2019. These projections apply expected growth to average premiums in each state, and demonstrate how these projected premiums vary across the country, assuming that current differences across states remain in place. See comment section for table of states...

So again, please explain why you think that HR3200 has ANYthing to do with a life insurance policy?

If that stuff was true then why would they not answer peoples questions when asked about it.. Just ignore it and go to the next one..

Just because we do NOT agree with you at all is no reason to call people ignorant or say ignorancy makes you overly sarcastic.. That is the same damn thing as saying people are ignorant because they disagree with you.. That makes you a very rude person, and that is my opinion. All Person has ever done is state HER OPINION.. That is her beliefs and how she feels and not anyone else's.. She has the right to do that.. This is her page and this is America for now.. Right now we are a country of having the right to state our opinions but, if your Obama gets his way it won't be...Now he is the ignorant one if he thinks we will set back and let that happen.. Just like his so called health care without a major fight.

First off it is not an life insurance policy.. They can get it whenever they want.. It is a retirement insurance.. So you are reading things into what was said..

Second that is friggin false.. I don't know of any state that has insurance premiums that high. Everyone we checked out for family the highest was 360 a month.. Don't come any where close to that amount.. The only way the insurance premiums could go up that high is if they tripled the minimum wage. What they are saying now for insurance premiums is more than a lot of people bring home in a year so, not you, not anyone in this country will ever convince me that they are 13,000 a year.. That would be over a 1000 a month. TOTAL BULL...

With you being on Medicare you know for a fact that premiums are not 13,000 a year.. Private companies aren't any where close to that high.. So you are stating falsehoods as truth..

I never once said life insurance has anything to do with HR3200.. Never said anything about life insurance at all.. So who is it that is uninformed about what they read????

About that site I went to it.. That is the one I read in the news this morning that the democrats set up to tell people what they want to say in these town hall meetings that people won't listen to them in.. Well of course not, cause they won't answer the questions that people want to know.. They just want to tell them what they want them to hear.. So that page is not fact..

Reality check here.

The insurance companies set the premiums, and their fees have not a dang thing to do with the minimum wage.

Sorry about assuming you meant life insurance. My bad.

Hmm... But then again your retirement "insurance" would also nothing to do with this bill. (Sorry, you brought it up, not I).

*** Furthermore, I am glad that your family will be well provided for, and that you worked your entire life to assure that they will be able to afford their premiums for health insurance in a decade.

(Personally, in the mid 1990's I paid OUT OF POCKET close to $500.00 month for my own health insurance. So I have NO idea where you would find decent "health" insurance for $360 affordable dollars a month 15+ years later).

To be sure, I did not state any falsehoods.

I clearly stated "Here it is although you will need a bit of Mathematical Methodology and Integrity to understand it." (Those are my words. I stand by them too).

"The actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services forecast that per capita medical costs are expected to increase 71 percent over the next decade. With average family premiums currently a bit over $13,000, the expected cost of a family policy would be over $22,000 in 2019."

***Please note that this came from "The actuaries at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid"

Wow. Is that why you don't want any links here? So you can question who wrote it, but that you really don't want to wait for an answer?

That is way past sad. That is tragic.

About the sites I DO post on MY blogs, most of them are completely bipartisan.

You see, I have been accused of being partisan before; (& FYI, no one was ever right about that either). ;-)

Many people are willing to even learn the truth, and will take the time, giving up softball, football, (and even NASCAR), to better educate themselves.

Well that's interesting beings I have health insurance at work which is taken out of my check EVERY WEEK and my premiums aren't any where close to that. And it is DECENT health insurance. AND it includes dental and vision coverage as well. So don't sit there and tell me that there is no decent affordable insurance out there because there is.

You are way off basis.. It isn't talking about out of pocket fees.. It is talking monthly premiums to have insurance. So don't even go there.

My kids have very good insurance.. They belong to the armed forces so they are well taken care of. Besides that.. My kids are none of anyones buisness. And in a decade the premiums for insurance will still not be over a 1000 a month.. So you saying they will be double that is still a bunch of malarky.. It has everything to do with wages.. People who have a minimum wage job would not have insurance that charges 1000 dollars a month premium.. Let alone a 2000 dollar a month premium.. I don't know of any person now no matter what they make that would pay 1000 a month insurance premium.. That is totally bull shit.. They could put that money in savings and pay their own medical bills.

You brought that up about the kids and retirement and being able to live in a decade, I didn't.. I just told you my kids were good.. You are the one that brought up all that damn insurance crap.. You have misread every thing that was said to you today.. And you sure as hell don't listen... Everything has been your way or no way.. Now you sound just like Obama.. Disgusting.

Our country in 10 years will not be America anymore as we know it if he keeps up his shit. With the economy the way it is and he is telling us we have to do this or that, then he takes all them plane trips over seas to have lunch on the taxpayers. Real smart guy there huh? Do you enjoy paying for his 6000 trips and his 3000 dollar lunches? I think not.. It is people like you that is going to help make this a non American unfree country that the government owns and tells you what you can do and when..

I guess you've never had multiple doctors tell you that you'll be dead in a few years. When you are in pain, suffering and you KNOW there is no possible way to cure what you have, wouldn't you like to die peacefully instead of suffering the last few months you may have left to die a horribly painful death...

I have personally seen people with Alzheimer's and various forms of incurable cancers live horrible painful deaths. Not being able to eat or drink, not being able to move, not being able to breathe and YES they wanted it ended.

Go to HR in any company that still offers health insurance and ask them what percentage the business pays compared to what your meager payment is.

Okay, let me explain this on an 8-year-old level for you:

-She is calling her ignorant because Person refuses to look at the facts of this situation.

-Not reading the facts of a situation makes you uninformed

-Since Person has said she refuses to look at the facts then she is uninformed

-Uninformed is a synonym (a word that is of similar meaning) to ignorant.

-Person is uninformed, therefore she is also ignorant.

NOTE: Nowhere up there did the logic tell you that we are saying you both can't have your own opinions... You may always have your own opinions... Again, an educated opinion is one that is made after reviewing all the facts...

You [obviously] have never run a company that offers insurance to its employees.

In my opinion that just demonstrates that you can't learn. In my opinion that makes you stupid not ignorant...

Just my opinion!

FACTS: pay attention to them...

Say what? This has nothing to do with the Mexicans.
Truth be known, China owns 30%+ of this country.

But if you read and learned and kept abreast of pertinent topics you would already know that the Mexicans are just scapegoats for China.

DM wrote on Aug 15 edbdkcn said How can it be solid when you've based it on nothing but conjecture??? To assume things just because of guesses and speculation is ignorance.An educated opinion (as stated above) is made only after reviewing ALL the facts...Therefore, since you've not read the bill, you can't have an educated opinion on it.It's like me saying I just don't like your place of dwelling. How would I know? I've never been there??? That would be pure ignorance... Pay attention to the FACTS!!!

she never once said she has not read the bill.. So how do you know that what is being said is based on speculation..

I have read all the facts and what flintville has said today is a bunch of bull..

YOU BOTH NEED TO GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE COMING AND CUTTING DOWN SOMEONE'S OPINION~

Like I said, America is not owned by America.
And it hasn't been in a very long time.

It is 2009. Please know America has been foreign owned since the mid 1970's.

Oh and yes, I DO and always have driven "American" cars.
As I also check the labels on anything I buy.
Guess that must be unAmerican too.

edbdkcn wrote on Aug 15 DM said Second that is friggin false.. I don't know of any state that has insurance premiums that high. Everyone we checked out for family the highest was 360 a month.. Don't come any where close to that amount..

So just because you don't pay that much, NO ONE could possibly be paying that much???

You do realize that there are more people in America than just you, right? MANY more people, and an average is taken from EVERY piece of data. So these averages were taken after getting the total premiums that every American family pays... Just because you're luckier than the average person, doesn't mean that everyone is...

Also, you state that this is more than one person brings home in one year. Well, that doesn't really apply because the premiums stated above as being $13,000 are FAMILY premiums. (Families consist of more than one person...FYI)

FYI: Pay ATTENTION to THE FACTS!!!!

Another Lady wrote on Aug 15 edbdkcn said I guess you've never had multiple doctors tell you that you'll be dead in a few years. When you are in pain, suffering and you KNOW there is no possible way to cure what you have, wouldn't you like to die peacefully instead of suffering the last few months you may have left to die a horribly painful death... I have personally seen people with Alzheimer's and various forms of incurable cancers live horrible painful deaths. Not being able to eat or drink, not being able to move, not being able to breathe and YES they wanted it ended. Cruel would be telling them that they have to live severely disabling lives until the very end. Too bad, just suffer... Look at the whole picture before speaking... Oh, and pay attention to the facts...

Here I've got to agree with Casey. If I had been able to help my Grandfather, I would have. He was in horrible, horrible pain. It was terrible watching him waste away for 18 months in such pain he cried even on Morphine.

FOR THE LAST TIME: SHE IS CALLING YOU IGNORANT BECAUSE YOU'RE UNINFORMED; NOT BECAUSE YOU DON'T AGREE WITH HER!

Yes it is and I have read them many times. Not one thing she said today was in the actual bill..

It is exactly what she thinks is fact.... This blog was about an opinion and you guys have turned it into a down right war.. Don't you think that is pretty rude...

Of course not cause flintville says it isn't rude.. Well it most certainly is.. You don't go to someone elses page and tell them they are ignorant or stupid because they feel different about things. Pretty sad that you are so worried that this health care bill won't pass that you have to cut other peoples opinions down.. Thought that was was America stood for. To have the freedom to state your opinion.. Oh I forgot, Obama and his followers don't think this should be a free country to have our own opinions..

-Facts are bipartisan
-She is stating facts

Oh you read the bill many time (not "them" but "the bill" by the way), and yet you also wrote of euthanasia, and had to be informed of the fact that Illegal Immigrants Will NOT Be Covered.
As I quoted earlier, "In fact, the House bill (the only bill to be formally introduced in its entirety) specifically says that no federal money would be spent on giving illegal immigrants health coverage:

Another direct quote FROM the bill you read many times: H.R. 3200: Sec 246 — NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS

Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States." end quote

DM wrote on Aug 15 in reply to edbdkcn said Okay, let me explain this on an 8-year-old level for you: -She is calling her ignorant because Person refuses to look at the facts of this situation.-Not reading the facts of a situation makes you uninformed-Since Person has said she refuses to look at the facts then she is uninformed-Uninformed is a synonym (a word that is of similar meaning) to ignorant.-Person is uninformed, therefore she is also ignorant.

NOTE: No where up there did the logic tell you that we are saying you both can't have your own opinions... You may always have your own opinions... Again, an educated opinion is one that is made after reviewing all the facts...
SO, how about we PAY ATTENTION TO THE FACTS?????
Dense, and denser... In my opinion... After reviewing all these comments...

NO that tells me you all are pretty damn dense.. You can have an opinion about anything you like.. If you believe in one thing or the other you have an opinion about it. You are allowed to say how you believe... That is the way we believe and you can call us ignorant or whatever.. I don't give a damn.. Nobody ever said my opinion is always right but that is my belief and my opinion and this is America for now and I will say what I believe.. Not right for someone else to come to someone elses page and tell them they are ignorant because they have an opinion of how they believe..

So that makes you guys pretty rude and ignorant..

That is right.. Families.. And you aren't going to tell me that people are paying over a thousand dollars a month for insurance premiums... Maybe someone that makes 250,000 a year or more....

That is right.. There are a ton of people that make less than 13,000 a year.. Pretty sad isn't it. I know of several and by God they pay the insurance premiums every paycheck.. So that tells me that the ones that don't have insurance are the ones that don't want to pay for it..

That goes to show you, that you are about as uninformed as she is.. I have told you 3 times that I have read it over and over but, that didn't make a diff.. She still said I was ignorant.. I am NOT uninformed and I am not ignorant or stupid..

YOU TWO on the other hand are about the most obnoxious, rude and senile people I have ever talked to.. You just keep repeating the same damn thing over and over and trying to make people believe your way.. Well that is never going to happen so don't be going to other peoples pages and telling them they are ignorant because what they believe and there opinion..

And making smart ass remarks about having to explain to an 8 year old makes you a pretty rude person.

Not a damn thing any of you have said today should have ever been said. This is Person's page and her beliefs and her opinions. . She has that right to post whatever her beliefs and opinions are without being told read the facts..

As far as I'm concerned, it makes no difference whether you used it as an adjective, noun, or whatever....saying someone is ignorant, stupid, dumb, etc is STILL insulting, offensive, disrespectful and rude. You have your opinions and I have mine. I have never gone to your page and done what you (and casey) did here yesterday. I know when to shut up and walk away because we all don't always agree on issues. I am deeply offended by the events that transpired above. And yes, I do thank DM for standing up for me.

You are one of the most disrespectful young people I've ever had the displeasure of allowing to comment on anything I post.

I know you won't be able to respond to this because I've fixed it so that you can no longer do so.

How dare you talk to me or anyone else in this manner!

As has been stated many times....some things can be taught and some things can't and apparently respect is not high on your list!

Are you that afraid of Casey that you have made it a point to talk behind her back?
Wow, I sure didn't expect that from you [Person].
But life--- Takes all kinds...

I will point out that this "incredibly dense" little girl has maintained a 4.0+ GPA throughout her educational career. (That PLUS sign is there for a reason ya know).

As far as her elders go. Easy girl... Touchy topic there.

Please remember you are speaking to Native Americans, and we do not use the terms "Elders" so arrogantly.

She is completely respectful of age and the wisdom it brings with it. (Or of the wisdom it should bring with it).
ALL of her teachers and professors will attest to that.

I taught all of my children to respect those who deserve it, and surely not just because it is someone older than they are.
It [respect] is earned, not given.

You are right. Some things CAN be taught. Some cannot.
Apparently teaching someone to read and comprehend should be learned by the 2nd grade.
Sadly, it is not always thus. (Now, why does that remind me of Forrest Gump)?

And as a rule, I beat everyone else to that part. (Not always mind you, but usually).
**** When that happens I am a big enough person to admit it.
(As I have already done on this page)!

Go check your facts above. I called NO ONE any names.
You know that I do not stoop that low; even when I have been called many many names myself. (Another thing I learned in 2nd grade).

You want facts....well here's a fact for ya

....I'm sick and tired of people thinking they are better than I am when in fact they are NOT!! Whoop-de-fuckin'-doo that your Native Americans. That does NOT make you better than me or anyone else..

You and Casey both have called me ignorant, dense, stupid among other things. That is soo fucking rude it's not funny.

But then you have all the facts.....well here's a fact for ya......THOSE SITES ARE RUN BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO LET YOU READ WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO READ......get the picture?????????? I make up my own mind I don't let the government think for me!!

And now I am less than a class act because I finally did call them an ass..

Could not get it through their heads that it did not make one bit of diff about all the crap they were throwing out.. This is your page and you have the right to post your beliefs and your opinions no matter what they are. Facts as they believe had no bearing on it. That is your beliefs and your opinions. And that is all that matters. Could be the most false thing in the world but, if it is your belief and your opinion then that is the way it should be.. Keep up with your opinions and beliefs... That is what free America is all about. Cause it may not be free for very long if Obama gets his way about all..

Big hugs and love~

Person,
Once again you are twisting words, or simply not understanding them clearly.
You are clearly preaching to the choir with that statement.

I never EVER said it made ANYone better for cryin' out loud. Where on Earth did you get that idea anyway?

It is just that the term is more properly used for wisdom, and not interchangeably with "age".

About the language. I am glad that you think she (Casey) had calling names "coming to her".

It is a bit surprising, (given the quality/quantity of your own intelligence), that you would condone such a thing.

But I am left to wonder, after all is said and done...

You were talking about a government bill...

And now you are upset that the bill is out there to read. Put up by DC no less.

But really, where else would you think to get a verified, line by line, copy OF said bill? The National Enquirer?

"Or else" ?

OR ELSE what? Ooh, are you going to talk about me behind my back too so I cannot intelligently defend myself too? (That is nothing, if not comical. I will have to give you that).

Love to ya!   ;-)

Ya know for someone that complains about her back problems all the time, it sure doesn't bother you to sit in front of the computer for hours on end. Must be all the good drugs you're getting....

Not your style? OMG you are losing it.
You have just admitted that you have closed Casey off from reading your retort to her.

Your own words to her were " I know you won't be able to respond to this because I've fixed it so that you can no longer do so."

Now I will call you paranoid with respect to "knowing" that I posted something first hand or whatever. (Are your friends lying to you now)?

While I may have removed a few entries [in their entirety], I have never, to date, posted anything that you have not been included in.

Now, as far as my back goes,

Not only can I not lie down, it hurts to stand AS WELL AS to sit.

So as long as I am in this padded office chair on rollers, (and with 2 extra pillows strategically placed), I do quite well. Add the vibrating pillow and my back brace, and viola! I am almost good to go.

Now if only I could make this chair go high enough to the kitchen countertops! hehehe

Happy that I have linoleum flooring too. And MORE than happy that my 2 hospital visits this past week left me with 2 major referrals!

Maybe one can truly fix the fracture in my back, and the other can keep me feeling so much better.
