Money - The Root of all Evil

When I was growing up there was May Company Downtown. Only Downtown. We would go down for Christmas shopping and sightseeing on the square. My dad banked at Cleveland Trust, we took the Cleveland Press newspaper and he had Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance. These were all “for sure’s” in my life. But I blinked and they were all gone. Well, Blue Cross/Blue Shield is still hanging around. 

Obamacare is going to bring us a ton of taxes, cost a ton of money and we probably won’t get very much healthcare. I received an email with a video clip of Mark Levin’s radio show. He was talking about Obamacare and received a call. The caller was a neurosurgeon and he had just come from a meeting with other doctors and the Govt. health people and was told…..If someone over 70 yrs. old comes in with a bleed just make them comfortable. That sounds comforting unless you’re over 70. I am. This doctor went on to explain all the years he spent in school to learn how to cure people with this kind of problem. He said he will not call the government and wait for a gaggle of Washington bureaucrats to decide if this person lives or dies. He will do what he is trained to do. Mark Levin asked him if this was the “death panels” that Sarah Palin talked about. And he said yes. This wonderful doctor will probably be arrested and put in prison if he does not “comply.”

Now I find an article in the N-H 10-29-12 that states “Insurers nervous over prospect of Romney victory.” I had to read it.  Apparently the health insurer CEOs are all in a quandary. They hate parts of the healthcare law but they are worried because they stand to RAKE in billions in dollars from new customers under the law. They mentioned major outfits like United Health Group and Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Pricewaterhouse-Coopers study estimated the new markets would be worth $50 billion to $60 billion in premiums in 2014 and as much as $230 billion annually within seven years. Somebody is getting rich.

Then there is AARP. The American Association for Retired People. This was another “for sure” that turned into the greatest American disaster. They “pretended” to help retired people and when the going looked good they jumped on the Obamacare wagon.

They too are set to make billions off the backs of retired people. For Shame!!

Things have a way of changing in life but most of this doesn’t look like for the good We will be the pawns in this country for those in power and when we are out of cash….then what?
