Man, that’s a slow gif!
I sat there looking at Obama thinking, “Why did Onyx post this?!?”
Then it changed to Darth Maul. LOL!!!
Yes she could.
ROFLOL, just watch her.
Okay, in defense of Folks-Who-Post-But-Don't-Watch....
SF is only now dropping into that category, but I'm even more guilty of that deal. In no small part because of my location out here in the North American Outback, like Morgan, but mostly because I swore off on most of the media in '68.
(No, I won't elaborate. I'm not going to ruin my good Sunday-morning-before-we-go-to-church attitude OR risk tearing up another keyboard and maybe even have Grandma hear me and make me sit in the corner for bad language.)
A plague on them.
And all their works, especially the Sunday Morning Dreadfuls.
I'll just sit here in peace and let good FReepers like Rock watch and listen for me.
Thanks.
I'll ring up some medical types I know and see if we can come up with something for that bleeding from the ears and eyes that you occasionally must suffer for us slackers.
Big surprise for us is the map shows Oregon within 6 pts and only LEANING Obama. We could move that without much problem even in liberal Oregon.
Well, the RATagandist "media" doesn't want to talk about it, but the facts are contained in the "Repeal and replace" bill called HR3000 by Rep Tom Price (R-GA)
They are hoping this happens and the media is doing their part to make this a reality. Our challenge is to keep telling the truth so more people will understand it.
“They all do it” is not true. They all don’t do it.
Boy-oh-boy, do I agree with that.
And the premiums for Medicare Parts B and D cover only 25% of the costs. The remaining 75%, by law, must come from the General Fund. With 10,000 people retiring every day for the next 20 years, is it any wonder that we are in big trouble? By 2030 one in five in this country will be 65 or older--twice what it is now. And by 2030 there will be only two workers for every retiree.
I wish the GOP would go beyond the $716 billion raid on Medicare and emphasize the immediate impact of IPAB, which Sarah Palin described as a Death Panel. This part of Obamacare will affect seniors immediately. They will decide what treatments can be reimbursed or are acceptable. This will have a much more visceral connection to seniors who are just being assured by the GOP that they won't be affected. Once you start throwing around numbers with claims and counter claims, most people's eyes glaze over and tune it out. It is time to resurrect the term Death Panel, which is part of the existing law. It is not a plan, but a fact.
Noticing the obvious RR reference.
Tort reform worked well in Texas. The medical community there has amazing growth as doctors leave other states to get there.
Thanks for the thread, AB!
Wallace with Robert Gibbs on FOX. - Wallace brings up campaign rally with Ryan/Mom in Fl yesterday. Gibbs says Ryan should thank obama for extending medicare benefits (for his mom).
(off topic - Gibbs is wearing a bright yellow bracelet on his right wrist - what does this signify?)
Wallace points out Medicare’s own actuary says you can’t have the same Medicare services for 716 billion dollars less. - medicare patients, millions of them, will lose access to their current providers.
Wallace brings up the 16/15 nonelected officials on a board that will will determine what Medicare will pay for. Wallace takes issue with Gibbs chuckling at his characterization of “non-elected” board members. Gibbs points out they are medical professionals. (My comment - whether they are elected, medical professionsla, or clowns - this IS the death panel).
(imho) this statement is absolute. May I offer a little history? Here goes....
What bothers me most is these problems were solved during the 1980s. Then both sides of the aisle went ahead and ignored the agreement. President Reagan was the wisest President this Nation has had in this century. President Reagan attacked these problems (all of the problems) and offered solutions which worked. Then our elected (nearly all of them) ignored the warnings of President Reagan and started back into kicking the can down the road instead of holding onto the reforms which worked. It has been a frustrating thirty years for citizens, and the huge expansions continued to government growth. Presently we are where we are, as a Nation, due to not the vote but instead we are where we are due to ignoring the agreements President Reagan enacted.
My post is not directed at you, Morgan in Denver. I know you are award of these points. It frustrates me, how soon our elected were willing to ignore America and a Great American (Former President Reagan) to start back the process of ignoring the solutions all of our politicians agreed to.
Don’t know about handsome, but he’s a devil.
Good morning sweetie pie!
I believe you are too kind to the left.
They really don't care how SS is funded. If its a direct payment from the Treasury its fine with them as l long as they have the issue to demagogue. Are they truly concerned about anyone at all getting any benefits?--Helll No!! All they want is the issue to carp about!!
It's the same with all their other pawns be it blacks,Hispanics, gays, you name it. They don't give a dam about any of these groups only the issues they provide. Time we told it like it is.
Obamacare has already messed with your Medicare. It will affect reimbursement and access to care providers. The IPAB will have a major impact immediately on Medicare recipients. They are charged to reduce costs.
Right now, about 12% of physicians don't accept Medicare patients. That number will go up under Obamacare.
Dang! I had to look and you’re right = it’s slow!
I got real mad at the end of MTP. No way the Marxist wins FL.
I've been to the Houston Medical Center. It's a freakin city!
Obama is down among whites, independents, the young etc. compared to 2008. This has to be reflected in the polls.
As such, both will need considerable reforming in order for both to be financial viable into the future.
