It is going to get worse, before it gets better.. health care act [View all]

We all love easy things.. but the assumption that something this large (the Affordable Care Act) was not going to have gigantic growing pains.. is just not dealing with how things work in the world.. nothing and I mean nothing nada.. rolls out smoothly without major hiccups and bumps and starts because things crop up..

I do not have this sense of it was all doomed from the start.

Oh my GOD is this great news copy and they (media types of all political persuasions) will ride this horse till it drops.. and then you begin to hear the positive things that were going on all the time.


I have never ever ever been disappointed by this President in the long run. He lets things get messy.. but then they tend to sort out so much quicker than anyone ever had a concept that they would.. because he lets it all out at once..

The thing that frustrates me no end is the whole concept that is being promoted that there is no way to understand this bill it is so big.. yadda yadda yadda.. we need to get rid of it and start again .. yadda yadda yadda..

All it is is a risk pool.. when you don't need the services you keep paying in and those who need the services take what they need.. some day everyone draws water from that well.

Just like social security and its health component medicare. we are all in it together.. and this time we are doing it with the private sector..but even with medicare.. you have a private sector group who covers Part D and supplemental... so those beloved programs of medicare have their private sector pieces

Everybody in me media take a breath.. breathe deep..
