The MSM (mainstream media) have done such a poor job of reporting. Of course we know it has been deliberate. It would have been impossible for anybody relying on the MSM to have any idea of what is really in the Health Care legislation, except for hints here and there about the candy to be dispensed to some. They have done all they can to make the bill appear palatable, but like the tasty pill pockets we use for our dog, the inside contains a bitter, expensive pill.
The PIC (Party in Charge) claims that they are looking out for the workers. The reality is that the working people will be footing the bill. It amazes me how few people would seriously ask questions like "but how is this going to be paid for?" Why was the answer so obvious to some of us, but not to the rest? Too late now.
We working stiffs (and retirees, too) will be finding out all too soon. Pardon me but I think I am going to be sick.

Don't be sick. You won't be able to get in to see a doctor.
Limbaugh did NOT say he'd leave the country when this idiocy passed. He said he'd go to Costa Rica where they have excellent medical services at reasonable prices.
We have changed all of our savings to tax free municipal bonds. (Obviously, we're older than you). We have to be able to fund our own retirement somehow, and don't want to pay the 3.8% tax on our investments.
But you know my opinions on this!
How's your Lab? When Thor started getting arthritis, we put him on glucosamine/chondritin supplements. I buy them from the human vitamin store, not the vet, of course. We put them in peanut butter sandwiches, and he just thinks it's his lunch. They do seem to help him. I hope your pup does better!
