So The Question Is....

Now that this huge "entitlement" health care bill is passed. I have a question or two and an observation. How is this bill now that it is passed going to immediately help me to pay my health insurance premiums that I pay every month? And how is this bill going to keep my health insurance premiums from going up another 35% next year and the year after like they did last year?

The answer that I have come up with after all my reading is this........ It won't help me pay my insurance premiums. because here is a news flash for allot people if you work for a company that employees fewer then 50 people THEY STILL DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE HEALTH INSURANCE!

Second there is nothing in the bill to limit cost!

So once again thanks for nothing! I hope I am wrong but only time will tell!

Warrning Political Post

Sorry I can't go with out saying something about all this health care mess. So this is a political post so if you don't want to read it turn off your computer and walk away.

Ask your self this question:

Why would the Senate want to try and pass some kind of health care bill with out voting on it? And that's all I am going to say about it you make up your own mind as to if passing this kind of thing with out a vote is right or wrong....

Interventions

Ok I am sure I will step on some toes with this post but hey it been bugging me for some time and I feel like I need to talk about it. I have been watching this A & E show "Intervention" From the shows web site:

Intervention™ is a powerful and gripping television series in which people confront their darkest demons and seek a route to redemption. The Intervention Television series profiles people whose dependencies on drugs and alcohol or other compulsive behavior has brought them to a point of personal crisis and estranged them from their friends and loved ones.

Most people know that I have a long standing hatred of anything to do with therapist, Physiology, or anything where you pay some pinhead that sits behind a desk to listen to you and then to tell you what is wrong with you and how to fix it.

But with all that said for some reason I have gotten hooked on this show I watch it every week with out fail. But you know what I am watching for? I am watching because at the end of each show they tell a little bit about how the person is doing after there 90 day treatment program or what ever the case maybe. AND GUESS WHAT!!!! I have not seen one person yet that has not had a relapse or gotten a divorce. It is insane! if a regular doctor had that kind of failure rate they would not be able to practice anymore!!! My therapy is being able to vent on this blog sometimes and hey guess what its FREE!

Anyway can you tell I just watched the show tonight? I guess if it works for you great..... But I would love to hear a happy ending to one of these stupid shows just once! And no a happy ending does not include a relapse or getting a divorce or not speaking to the rest of your family!

THIS IS INSANE!

I have not said anything in the blog political in a long time but this can't go with out some venting.

From Fox News:

Some New York City chefs and restaurant owners are taking aim at a bill introduced in the New York Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking.

"No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises," the bill, A. 10129, states in part.

The legislation, which Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, D-Brooklyn, introduced on March 5, would fine restaurants $1,000 for each violation.

"The consumer needs to make their own health choices. Just as doctors and the occasional visit to a hospital can't truly control how a person chooses to maintain their health, neither can chefs nor the occasional visit to a restaurant," said Jeff Nathan, the executive chef and co-owner of Abigael's on Broadway. "Modifying trans fats and sodium intake needs to be home based for optimal health. Regulating restaurants will not solve this health issue."

Nathan is part of the group My Food My Choice, which calls itself a coalition of chefs, restaurant owners, and consumers, called the proposed law "absurd" in a press release issued on its Facebook page.

What the hell are these people thinking? This country has gone off the deep end. You can't legislate health!!!! Its peoples choice what they eat and drink!
