Virginia Right!

I got this email from Governor Bobby Jindal (along with thousands of others of course!) but I wondered:  Maybe the GOP nominee should consider this governor as Vice President: Friends – It is time to give President Obama credit for keeping a commitment. This is, for this President, a pretty remarkable achievement.  I am not [...]

It might not seem probable that Obamacare could cause more foreclosures, particularly among the middle class, but these are not normal times. When the Progressives decided to force an unwanted bill and unaffordable entitlements down America’s collective throats, they had a particularly copious amount of disdain for anyone who declined to purchase Health Insurance because [...]

Corporate Greed has become the battle-cry of the left. Any company that makes a profit is immediately evil and greedy, according to these self proclaimed “experts”. One must assume that a company that operates in the red must be inherently good, in a liberal’s mind. And if the offending corporation happens to be an insurance [...]

In another must-read fact check piece on the health care bill today, the AP writes, “Zach Hoffman was confident his small business would qualify for a new tax cut in President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law. But when he ran the numbers, Hoffman discovered that his office furniture company wouldn’t get any assistance with the $79,200 it pays annually in premiums for its 24 employees. ‘It leaves you with this feeling of a bait-and-switch,’ he said.”

When I was young, just got out of college, I had to buy auto insurance. I had a beat-up old car. And I won’t name the name of the insurance company, but there was a company — let’s call it Acme Insurance in Illinois. And I was paying my premiums every month. After about six months I got rear-ended and I called up Acme and said, I’d like to see if I can get my car repaired, and they laughed at me over the phone because really this was set up not to actually provide insurance; what it was set up was to meet the legal requirements. But it really wasn’t serious insurance.

First of all, President Obama says the Health Care bill must not add to the deficit. Both the House Bill and the Senate Bill claim to do that. In fact, the Senate bill claims it will reduce the deficit by $127 Billion over the next 10 years. But, seeing that the Democrats added $176 Billion to the deficit FOR OCTOBER ALONE, these projected 10 year savings are rather anemic by comparison.

What is the most dreaded time of the year? If you ask that question most people will tell you tax time. For me however, the most dreaded time of the year is open enrollment. For those of you who work in the corporate world you know exactly what I am talking about. It’s the short little time period the insurance companies give employers to allow employees to change their benefits. Every year I have grudgingly, look through the information until my eye glaze over and then by default just accept it for what it is and sign up for the same old coverage. But every year I tell myself, there has to be a cheaper way, but the task seems so overwhelming and the system so riddled with regulations, I dismiss it as just the way it is.
