terminology

‘Health Care Coverage’ is not the same thing as ‘Quality Health Care’

When the Coverage people govern your care it becomes about saving money.

When the Quality people govern your care it becomes about being healthy.

When the Doc looks at you and says, “I want to prescribe this med, but it’s expensive so they make us try these others first to prove they don’t work before you can have the good stuff.” you know it’s not about Quality Care.

I’m tired of being sick just because the cure is expensive and some paper pusher has decided I need to fill out extra paperwork.

If you think for one second that the Federal Government of this country is concerned about Quality you’re in denial. This administration has shown us nothing but money control and elitism.

Looks like I’ve got some more reading to do, understanding the opposition is key to success.

How in Hell can $$ from the US going to Palestinian refugees be important to our national interest? I mean important to our interest rates yeah, important to our nation get real.

I think daily drug testing should be mandatory for elected officials.

best quote ever?

by way of The LawDog Files

“I don’t like repeat offenders, I like dead offenders.” – Ted Nugent

you can catch the whole video over there and read LawDog’s spot-on assessment of Texas Monthly Magazine as well.

If I was a supporter of burning the written word, Texas Monthly would make good kindling. Alas, God and the 1st amendment both look out for fools and idiots.
