Ok folks, once again it's time for the political corner of the Healthy Living blog. Rest your questions for healthy living and sleeping for a moment and let's get caught up on what's been going on with political doings that WILL affect your quest for healthy living.
Maybe it's just me. Didn't the A.C.A. launch on October 1 and get off to a disastrous start? Isn't December 1 just around the corner and things have gotten worse and worse since the beginning of October? I heard this morning that zero....zero people...have signed up for Obamacare in the state of Oregon....can't be a good thing. And Oregon, like Washington state is a hotbed of Democratic liberalism.
Where is the president as his signature legislation is tanking. He's off once again in California giving speeches and raising money...the two things he seems capable of doing. I listened to his speeches last night and once again he's blaming Republicans for all of the A.C.A.'s problems...small ball. At what point does this president begin to take responsibility for anything? I know, I know, he seemed to say he was sorry for Obamacare, but what he said was that he was sorry that so many people were having problems with the roll-out, not that he was sorry for lying to the nation. Don't hold your breath waiting for a true apology; his arrogance and the notion that he is the smartest guy in the country will never allow him to say it.
In the end his intractability and arrogance will be his undoing. He will continue to push for the enaction of his socialist agenda regardless of the impact it is having on the average "middle American". So much for caring about the middle class. In fact, Obamacare will impact the middle class harder than any other section of the American people as up to 100 million Americans are reported to be in jeopardy of losing their current health care policies. Obama's unwillingness to amend Obamacare to lessen the impact on the middle class tells you everything you need to know about his priorities and his intentions. He will forward his wealth distribution agenda at any and all costs. Watch what he does, not what he says.
Now we are hearing reports that the Senate's recent change in Senate rules, thwarting the Republicans' ability to use the filibuster as a means of slowing down judicial and executive branch appointments, will allow Obama to load the Washington D.C. district court of appeals with activist judicial appointments. This may pose a clear and present danger to your health as he may load the IPAD (aka "death panel") such that healthcare could be rationed.
See a trend here? Let me give you a hint. Your freedoms are being threatened. If we as a nation continue to allow the erosion of our freedoms by this administration, we will only have ourselves to blame. And when we wake up, it may be too late.
I am seeing some signs that some people are waking up, but it's going to take a lot more of us. Maybe when your healthcare is taken away and you are forced to pay twice as much for less coverage with things you don't need, you'll do something. Let's hope so.
Back to healthy living, healthy eatng and more on sleep apnea next post. Meanwhile, stay free my friends.
