gucci boston handbags Its like you read my thoughts! You appear to understand so much approximately this, such as you wrote the book in it or something. I feel that you could do with a few % to force the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is great blog. An excellent read. I'll certainly be back.

Expat, enforced vegetarian eating habits.

Those that don’t obey, will lose their jobs and be ostracized like Eich and black Repubs.

Ymar,
And if that crowd has its way, we will be eating insects. Personally, I’d like to send them out to collect cockroaches. Think of all the pesticides we could avoid.

Long exposure to a “all covered” insurance type HMO creates it’s own dependency. When my daughter was in college (2000 miles from home) she had brand name drug for her infrequent migraines which worked very well. When we changed insurance (I own the company so we have some changes every year) the new plan called for using generics before going to the brand name. Since we didn’t want to change the drug until my daughter was home for the summer, I had to convince my wife that we could simply pay for the refill ourselves! After a few moments her eyes lit up and she said of course we could. Now we control much of what our business does on health insurance (we pay for nearly 100% of everything for employees) we should have known better. I imagine someone who works for a large organization is simply not capable of taking any initiative but to complain to the benefits office.

The first step is to remind your self that you are really in charge no matter what.

One of our leftiest-left acquaintances pretty much epitomizes the cliché of the low-information voter on this topic.

Easy come, easy go.

Born with a God, divine, or randomized free will and soul. Sold it for some trinkets and free healthcare that isn’t free.

What’s happened so far is peanuts compared to what will happen when the employer mandate comes into effect in 2015 (assuming that actually happens in 2015).

I admit, Obama was smart enough to delay it until after the 2014 election. But he’s playing a “one-day-at-a-time” delay strategy which only ends one of two ways: 1) The employer mandate is delayed indefinitely or 2) It eventually kicks in.

If it is ever enacted, voters will be especially angry when it is exposed how they were duped until it was too late.
Hitting that many people in the wallet will wake up a huge percentage of the electorate. People like the one described by Kyndyll above will start denying they are Democrats.

Leading up to the Obamacare vote, leftist commentators would refer to those who were either “for healthcare” or “against healthcare”. They wouldn’t refer to the impending act as “healthcare reform” or “healthcare finance reform” which is a more accurate description. That’s the way it was discussed, and non-leftist commentators picked up the term as a sort of Beltway shorthand. In so doing the left successfully torqued the language for their own ends, as they often do.

What we have in the roll-out is a high-concept horror film, sort of Orwell Meets Kafka, as Elaine (above) knows firsthand.

Kafka knew well the absurdities of bureaucracy: he was an attorney for an insurance company.

NO. no no. Dammit. no.

Shite. Curmudgeons.

Obamacare is failing and will fail because we hate it. 2014 will change a lot. 2016 even more. Pretty soon, you will have a virtual doctor who will be nice and attentive. Robot surgery. Look to Israel. See this:

Another problem is that more government control probably means more PC medicine: a whole round of unneeded tests and then the med de jour, but no time to listen to the patient; gobs of counselling for problems most people used to work out for themselves; and plenty of diet programs. And, of course, for the latter types of disorders, patients will get get-out-of-work slips from the doctors. That is if there are any true doctors left. We may just end up with a bunch of credentialed idiots.
