For the amount of money we wasted in the last ten years on foreign wars
we could have given EVERYONE in the US free medical health care.
I also saw a really dumb Tea Partier sign the other day that showed a
woman holding up a sign saying "health care is not a right." Bet she
would feel differently if she needed it and was gouged for it. But the
second line on her sign was even more stupid. It said something to the
extent that "a man shouldn't give away his work for free." No one is
asking doctors to work for free. But we could use market economics to
make for more doctors and more medical assistants. The AMA is the
stodgy one in this case. It is an "old boys" network.

Most people don't know how much the Obamacare health insurance is
going to cost them. But, many younger people, who currently have no
insurance, are going to find out how much real soon. For a guy who is
healthy, never get sick, and who seldom visits a doctor, the amount
may come as a shock, even if it's only $150 a month.
The rent is too damn high!
I'm on medicare and Rita is on my group plan - mine costs about $100
out of my SS check and we send a check for $350 to United Health.
The rent is too damn high!
"If you skip the insurance, you’ll pay a penalty. For 2014 the fine is
$95 for an individual or 1 percent of your income, whichever is
greater, along with $47.50 per uninsured child, maxing out at $285 for
the year."

Geez William, give these poor businesses a break. They have to pay
for all that Obamacare now. Premiums are going up, up and up.
Somebaody's got to pay for all that free healthcare.

So, when I returned the two cable boxes to Time-Warner and to terminate
the HD and DVR service, I asked them how much would it cost just to have
basic cable. The guy said they would have to send out a technician to
put a 'trap' on the line to filter out the other channels, so I told
them to close the account. It's Friday and the cable is still active,
but I have powered antennas from the Shack anyway. Go figure.

This week I took my daughter's PT Cruiser in to the dealership because
she said the front was 'wobbling' at 35-40 mph. The service manager
called back and said one of the front tires had a 'ball' on it. He
recommended getting four new Goodyear Eagles, balanced and a front end
alignment - $950. What!?
Now, why would anyone want to pay close to $1000 to put Goodyear Eagles
back on the same car that already had a Goodyear tire with a ball on it
at 30,000 miles? So, I had the tires rotated, front to back, for $15 on
the south side, sweet!. Maybe I'll buy two new Falken tires at Discount
Tires. Go figure.
The rent is too damn high!
