Radicals!

    You gotta love radicals! They're so --- full of whatever. Sometimes a cause, sometimes themselves, sometimes misinformation.
    I've been a radical before. It was so invigorating. Radicals usually cluster in ever larger groups which can be so empowering. And in such closed spaces quite often result in closed minds.
   I try not to be closed off from opinions other than my own by seeking others that I know have views different than mine. They're rather easy to find. I just ask where do they get their news. If the answer is TV and news papers/news magazines isn't added then I can be pretty sure I'm dealing with a person that bases their opinions on information delivered in sound bites. We'll have different opinions I assure you. If they say Fox news we'll have radically different views.
    I've a dear friend that believes Bill O'Rielly is the true fountain of all political truth & speaks to the truth at all times. That she reads some of her news makes her feel informed. Trouble is she reads what Bill says or says to read.
    I can't fathom why so many that are at risk of bankruptcy are so opposed to reform. Their cries that government run health care will be a boondoggle is founded on what? Medicare/Medicaid, Veterans Administration, our military hospitals?
   The American Journal of Medicine study says that 62% of bankruptcies in 2007 where linked to medical expenses. 80% of those had insurance.
    Having health insurance is only a false sense of security. Unless you have Medicare/Medicaid, VA or Military. I have a State subsidized policy thanks to the tobacco settlement. It's good for office visits and small issues. Something big is beyond its scope.
   It (reform) is going to cost a Trezillion dollars and create death squads! These are such a hoot to listen to.
    Who was the first company that the government bailed out? AIG! The largest insurance company on the planet. It insures the insurers & banks. That was real inexpensive little move there wasn't it. Did that money spent increase your coverage? Did it reduce the cost of your pharmacy bill?
    So socialism for BIG business is good but government provided health care is bad?
