Here are some facts: Obamacare is dying a quick death.  Why?  It doesn’t work and therefore (as structured initially and as revised over 50 times by the previous President) Americans have summarily rejected it; Dems SCREAM “Don’t repeal…..let’s just fix it!”  Fix it how?  They haven’t offered a fix! Americans elected Donald Trump to “repeal […]

Thursday was the BIG day:  the day the Senate draft version of the “Repeal/Replace Obamacare Bill” was released.  You may remember that a couple of days ago I quoted Senator Schumer as he blasted the GOP Senate plan just as he had previously done to the House version.  However, he had NO idea of the

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) today released its audit analysis of the recently passed in the House replacement bill for Obamacare.  The news outlets have already jumped all over it and are pointing out everything that could potentially be negative about it.  It is not surprising that the “glass is half empty,” and I

Most Americans anxiously await the details of the “fix” passed Thursday by Congressional House Republicans for Obamacare.  While pretty much everyone knows Obamacare is failing because of unforeseen economic impact, few of us know the intimate details of the hows and whys for the failure.  It is no secret that President Obama’s signature legislation was

That’s a shocking question, no doubt — one which comes with no obvious answer.  That’s like asking your good friend in a crowd, “How long ago did you stop beating your wife?”  But, consider that there are those who THINK you are stupid, and me, and other Americans who live and work among us, are

It was during a weekend.  We were driving downtown in our city and spotted a young couple with two small children standing on a street corner.  The homeless community here is plentiful, but it was obvious these were not part of it.  They had some issues. We decided to make the block, stop and talk

The “CBO.”  I now know what the “NFL” is:  National Football League;  I know what the “AFL” is:  The Arena Football League;  I know what “SOS” means:  “Save our Ship.”  “MLB” is Major League Baseball, and “ACS” means either American Cancer Society or Aeromedical Collection Services — my medical billing company.  But I have before

So the GOP has released their replacement template for Obamacare.  The timing for the release is suspect:  the CBO hasn’t even scored it yet.  So all the “in” fighting and “out” fighting can only be done without any real cost information — possible savings or new expense.  But one thing is certain: when the Democrats

The easy answer?  No I don’t….at least I don’t THINK I do.  But I’ve had it in my family.  And it’s horrible.  My mother — the most independent and self-sufficient person I’ve ever known — died from complications from Alzheimer’s 10 years ago.  It destroyed her in 3 short years and in doing so, brought

March 5, 2016 I suffered a heart attack.  They said it was a mild one.  I said it was a heart attack.  It scared me to death, especially since I had lost about 80 pounds and had kept it off for 2 years.  My blood pressure was good as was my cholesterol.  I don’t drink
