In My Humble Opinion .....

This is my first Opinion for my blog. It is a bit personal for me, which is how all opinions should be!


So much hoopla has been pounded over the news media about Obama's idea of Health Care Reform. My question is ... what is really part of a "reform" and what part is just "lip-service" to the general public?

It seems to me that folks, who have good health insurance (especially retired folks), have been hollering about their insurance being cut or taken away! I would love to know where, on this green earth, they got those ideas! Then, for the folks with no insurance (or crappy little insurance), they really think they will be left out in the cold, as well! Which would probably make the well insured folks happy. You know ... the "Let them eat cake!" scenario.

Personally, I'm on Medicare. One group of folks feels I get too much money from my Disability Benefits, and the other folks think I should be glad with what I do get ... so, shut my trap. I am glad with what little I get, but if it's truly looked into, I fall into the category of "What Else Can I Be Legally Charged For That I Cannot Afford." There's got to be more I can do to better my health care problem (without cutting food from my monthly expenses), but I haven't been able to happen across anything else, just yet. See ... I'm pragmatic.

Mostly, I'm still just glad that I am alive! However, living and just "existing" are two very different scenarios. I have never meant to get rich or live luxuriously on Disability. Unfortunately, though, the government's idea of someone making it through any disability is just to keep you from dying ... forget any "quality of life." As I have just said ... glad to be alive!

Therefore, in my humble opinion ... less posturing is needed and some realistic reforms should be implanted to accommodate all citizens ... wealthy or no ... ALL citizens need reasonable health care programs!!
