Obamacare, more or less

Keeping Obamacare is like keeping a painful, infected tooth. It is destroying our economy and threatening our future health. Taxpayers promised more for less dollars, will have to pay more for less treatment. Our already overloaded doctors are being harassed with unnecessary details and paperwork that cost them time and extra staff. The paperwork takes up time from patients. An added 30 million patients will give the doctors a potential of 10 times the patients they already treat. Many doctors are quitting before they go bankrupt. Obamacare also cuts their pay. Getting back to the old simple doctor-patient relationship on a cash basis would be healthy for all, back to the old normal, back before insurance and especially government bureaucracy became expensive middle men. A rainy day savings, friends, families and church may be the best eventually. Obamacare is keeping our businesses from being competitive. They are already overloaded with taxes and regulations, higher health costs with Obamacare, limiting the number of employees and reducing them to only 30 hours. Employees are hurt by Obamacare by having to look for a second job and food stamps to survive. Many can't find any jobs after years of trying. Government figures of unemployment just show the figures of those collecting unemployment. Also, the inflation figures do not include the increases of food and energy that hurt everyone financially. Obamacare seems planned to bring chaos and martial law and dictatorship in the long run.

Quote and unquote

Quit trying to say that the Bible is all for homosexuals, because it is not. So why don't you quote that part of the Bible also?

Second class treatment

Mike, several years ago the Charleston city council and the post office decided to cooperate with each other. The city designated a street close to the post office as one-way. The post office put a mailbox out on the left side of the street so drivers could drive by and put their mail in the box without getting out of their car. That worked for years and years. Now we've had a change in the post office and they have decided to remove the mail box from the one-way street. You can no longer go there and just put in your mail out of your window. No, now first class customers have to park their cars, get out, walk to the mail box, drop their mail in and walk back to their car. You would think that the post office
