Yeah, like socialism for the rich (government bailouts) and capitalism
for the poor (drown in debt). The right wing doesn't want to pay for
Obamacare and we progressives don't like it because we want what you
have in Canada. I don't know why the latter has to be so difficult to do.
I'm on Medicare so I'm actually "out of the picture." But for the next
few weeks starting just the other day when a hefty booklet arrived from
the guvmint apparently designed to confuse seniors and make Medicare
more complicated than it needs to be. Then junk mail pouring in from
health insurance companies trying to sell me Medicare supplemental
policies. I tell you the snake oil salesmen went from selling snake oil
to pharmaceuticals and health insurance.

Nothing could be any more expensive and out of reach for the average
American than it is now. I think if the damn thing ever passes all
this fear-mongering and whining will prove unjustified. Christ, I hear
some people are even afraid the US will become a (gasp) socialistic
society as a result. I've got news for you guys, you already are.

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.

"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."

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!
