F#@& You Mr. President!

Some of the country's most prominent health insurance companies have decided to stop offering new child-only plans, rather than comply with rules in the new health-care law that will require such plans to start accepting children with preexisting medical conditions after Sept. 23.


FYI: The title for this post is not what I am saying to our President, but what the insurance companies have indirectly told the President by their actions. Breaking the new law he established is sending him a very distinct message, don't you think?

Afgan leaders similar
to American leaders

"You should know that our leaders are big belly people, and they care about themselves more than anyone else."

Osman Shenwari, a village mayor in Afghanistan.

If you fly over Lubbock
anytime soon,

...this is what you will see!


Don't you just love how Texans
communicate their feelings...

They call this doctor, "racist"!

During my last night’s shift in the ER, I had the pleasure of evaluating a patient with an expensive shiny gold tooth, multiple elaborate expensive tattoos, a very expensive brand of tennis shoes and a new cellular telephone equipped with her favorite R&B tune for a ringtone.. Glancing over the chart, one could not help noticing her payer status: Medicaid. She smokes more than one costly pack of cigarettes every day and, somehow, still has money to buy beer.

And our Congress expects me to pay for this woman’s health care? Our nation’s health care crisis is not a shortage of quality hospitals, doctors or nurses. It is a crisis of culture ˜ a culture in which it is perfectly acceptable to spend money on vices while refusing to take care of one’s self or, heaven forbid, purchase health insurance. A culture that thinks “I can do whatever I want to because someone else will always take care of me”. Life is really not that hard. Most of us reap what we sow. Don’t you agree?
