Old Men and Wheelchairs: Essentially-Healthcare

Healthcare is a widely debated issue across these United States. As do most things, it has many Pro’s and Cons.
A main pro is that 32 million uninsured Americans will receive Healthcare coverage that many of them don’t even want. The plan also comes with a promise to save one-trillion dollars over the next years. This plan will also crackdown on insurance company rip-offs that I wrote about in my Socialism post. I am all for these things(which are mostly bogus like the 32-million number).
I am, however, not for the many heavy-weighted cons that come behind closed doors with this bill. One of the cons is the age old idea of tax. What happened to cutting taxes, Mr. President? Many Americans (like me) don’t want to pay for somebody else’s Healthcare coverage while compromising their own! Another issue is quality. For example, say that an old man needs a new wheelchair. He goes to his private insurance company and receives a fancy automated wheelchair with all the bells and whistles. Another old man goes to the new Medicare and gets basically the leather base of a chair with some wheels attached. This will be the story for many law abiding Americans who are FORCED to purchase poor insurance coverage over their old and better coverage. The plan’s cost will amount to around 940-billion dollars. But, hey, the government’s used to spending money.
Many questions have arisen about what the constitution has to say on this plan. Well, the Necessary and Proper Clause says that congress may bring about all things that are, well, necessary and proper. The question is, is Healthcare necessary and proper? Nothing specifically about healthcare is in the Constitution, so we may have no way of knowing.
I have spotted one good that about the plan, if the plan saves one-trillion and costs 40-billion, we’ve saved 60-billion dollars! Woohoo! That’ll sure put a dent on that 12 trillion dollar national debt.

March Madness!

March is truly mad. I was 9 for 16 on Thursday, and I'm hoping I'm perfect on Friday! Murray St. Beat Vandy!! WTF!(with the family). I also am very sad that Georgetown lost to Ohio. I'm currently watching West Virginia and Morgan St.-go WV!-at my aunt's house. Funness! Hope y'all's brackets are doing well! e-mail me your first round records!

Re: Da Lake

We actually never went to the lake because of the fact that we were all tired because we camped in a tent in Fletcher's Aunt's backyard. The next day we went fishing and I cought a bass. I got a great picture of me holding this fish and looking very tired(my eyes are closed and my hair is horrible!!!). However, we did come back to Fletcher's house and play some Table Tennis.

Da Lake

I'm going to the lake with my friend Fletcher, so I won't be able to blog. I'll do some blogging about what I do there once I return. I'll have fun.

Crazy Parties and too much pond water

As you may have noticed, the fish changed colors. They all went to a party this past weekend and had a bit too much pond water. Oscar(the now black one) decided that it would be a great idea to get his full body tatooed with black ink. The others just used their superpowers to change colors(AKA I don't want to make up more stories =P).

Healthcare and Socialism

I think that, in terms of healthcare, we are doing too much. While it is bad that poor people don't have money to pay doctors, they might have jobs if the Bailout plan had worked. But, that's another story. Read my other article for that one. Anyway, Congress is fixing something that isn't broken (it just needs a few tweaks).
First of all, I do think that Congress needs to put in new laws about insurance companies dropping you for insurance when you get hurt. Aren't insurance companies supposed to help you when you get hurt? That's what insurance is!!Along with that, kids shouldn't be denied because of pre-existing conditions.
Congress also needs to say that insurance companies can't raise your rate a large amount because you get hurt.
Note: Not all insurance companies do this, just some.
Under the proposed healthcare bill, families will be FORCED to buy government provided insurance, and if they don't, they will be fined. Isn't that Socialist? Dictionary.com says that socialism is "a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole." That basically means that the government is making us buy insurance whether we like it or not.
I always thought that America was the "land of the FREE"(to make our own choices).

New Camera!

I Finally got a new camera! It's an Olympus X-42. 12 Mp's for only 69.99! "How did he get such a GREAT deal?" you may ask. Well, to answer your question, It was on sale! I love OfficeMax!

G-Parents' House

Here are some fun pictures from my visit to my grandparents' house.


Milk and cookies!

Story time with Mr. Chef Frog and Mr. Gnome!

Going...going...going...gone.

I will be going tonight(Friday) and tomorrow(hopefully you aren't that dumb) to my grandparents house. As you may or may not understand, that means no more blogging! Waahhhhh!

Bingo And Bills

Bingo and Bills(Dollar Bills)

In my opinion, we as a people should be asked to vote on the current bingo issue. Isn’t a democracy BY the people and FOR the people?
I also don’t see why bingo is such a big deal. I know that it might encourage other forms of illegal things, but isn’t it a free country? People should be able to do what They want with Their money as long as it is legal.
This dispute is all the President’s fault(haha =P). If his bailout plan had worked and created more jobs without spending HALF of the 800 BILLION BORROWED DOLLARS, these people would have jobs, and they wouldn’t be so desperate to risk their money(and usually lose it).
The only thing I’m worried about is is the future. I’m 13, and in about 15 years, when I’m paying taxes, the rest of my generation and I will be digging the U.S. out of the 12 TRILLION DOLLARS(and counting) of debt that we’re currently piling on.

Vaccination

As you may have noticed, I have removed The Disease. After re-reading it, I developed a burning hatred for it, so, because this is MY blog, I removed it. I feel so empowered!

Re:The Bachelor

My mom made me leave the room while she was watching the Bachelor because of the bikinis.

The Bachelor

The Bachelor is a show that is very interesting to some people. I am not some people. Some of the girls at school like it, so, I decided to watch it thinking it would make good conversation. Tonight is the season finale. Why have I been so dumb to watch this crap?

Falling Down

This Morning, when I awoke, my leg was asleep, so, when I tried to walk, I fell over. This sentence has an amazing amount of commas. That is a true story.
