My Comments: In the early 90’s, when then First Lady Hillary Clinton championed what I think they called health care reform, I found myself on board with this idea as I was paying a ton of money for a high deductible health insurance plan for my wife and I. I was self-employed, which means no …

My Comments: Yes indeed, let's get rid of ObamaCare and maybe all these guys will love us. Isn’t it time for reality to trump stupidity and for somebody on the right politically to wake up and do something useful for a change? By Allison Bell | September 24, 2013 A big proportion of health insurance …
My Comments: And you thought I was being negative last week?!? Well, not a lot right now to encourage a positive outlook on things. Yes, my clients are making money, thank you. And yes, my case of the flu has receded, the daily deluge has stopped (maybe), and the mornings are cooler. WOW! But the …

My Comments: Am unsure why this article cought my eye, and I decided to save it for later. Now that later is here, and frankly I’m sick of Syria, and all the other crap that TV and magazines, and the internet is bursting about. Yes, I have a slight touch of the flu so maybe …

My Comments: If you take the time to read the rest of this article, you’ll perhaps better understand why I’ve taken the position all along that the fuss about ObamaCare is a contrived spectacle by those, mostly those opposed to anything from Obama, who are convinced that the President is a total waste of time. …
