I'd thought of looking for a GOP bumper sticker saying, "If you can't
afford Health Insurance, don't get sick" but I haven't found one yet.

The Republican healthcare plan, like all their other policies, is
basically a gigantic, sneering "**** You" to everybody who doesn't
have a million dollars in the bank and a very polite "How would you
like to have your taxes eliminated?" to everybody who does.

And Obama care is godo for everybody? Not me. I will lose my current
health insurance which is pretty darned good. My premiums are $28 a
month, and I get more than that back in my health account each year.
So, basically, it is fully covered by my employer.

With Obama care, it only works if people pay into the system since it
has to pay for all the people who can't afford the system. So, it
would not work if only the current people in need buy in. They need
people who already have health insurance to pay into the system too,
so they have to make sure that some of us lose our current plan, thus
forcing us to join the new Obama plan. Last I heard, the basic plan
will cost $1000 a year. That's $1000 more than I currently pay, and a
$1000 I do not currently have available. And it sounds like it may not
be as good of a plan as I currently have.

So, with Obama care, I get to pay more, get less, and my personal
economy will get worse. Not something I am looking forward to.

I understand the need to make health insurance affordable to those who
don't have something right now. But I would prefer they do it without
messing up the plan I have now.

The spare tire cover for our motor home says: Stamp out take-home pay,
Vote Democrat. The folks who pass us will slow down so they can read it
again and give us a thumbs-up. One time we did have an impotent OFFICIAL
highway patrolman stop us and say that the cover might be offensive and
cause us some trouble.
Never happened. He didn't have the authority to demand that we remove
it. Polly
