We watched some Republican congressmen talking on TV about repealing the health care bill. In each case, it appeared their plan was to have various committee heads come up with pieces of the bill. Sounds like another committee designing a camel. It will probably result in another 2,500-page monstrosity, and although all the little monsters will be different it will still be a monstrosity. The only question is: will the camel have one hump or two?
As to our health plan we submitted to some congressmen (see posting of Oct. 20th, 2010), we have still had no acknowledgement from any congressman, not even so much as a "Ah, yes, boo, go to hell or what have you." It makes us think that the congressional NIH factor is bigger than the all outdoors.
So we are going to try a different approach to get somebody's attention. We recognise that our plan is radical, but the situation demands drastic measures. We'll see what happens.
On another note, we have seen on TV a gaggle of congressmen talking about the need to reduce expenditures and pontificating about the pain everybody will have to endure. Conspicuous by its absence was any reference to inflicting such pain on congressmen and others on the governmental payroll. So, what else is new?

I'm all for reducing congressmen's pay and/or benefits. Maybe then they'll realize people are out here struggling.

ReplyDeleteUnless the Congress and Administration address government subsidies, Medicare, and Social Security any talk of budget reduction is meaningless theater. Let's see a Congressperson stand up and advocate elimination of farm subsidies.
