According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Whore is defined as follows:

Whore: \ˈhȯr, ˈhu̇r\
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English hore, from Old English hōre; akin to Old Norse hōra whore, hōrr adulterer
Date: before 12th century

1 : a woman who engages in sexual acts for money : prostitute; also : a promiscuous or immoral woman
2 : a male who engages in sexual acts for money
3 : a venal or unscrupulous person

A male who engages in sexual acts for money, hmmm, does raping the American people in order to get a special deal from the health insurance boondoggle bill of 2009 qualify as a sexual act for money? Well, no matter, the third definition certainly fits the situation if nothing else does.

Ben Nelson Senate Whore

That’s right folks! My tax dollars and yours will be going to pay for Medicaid in Nebraska while they sit back smoking a cigarette and enjoying the afterglow of Ben’s frolics.

When will this abuse ever stop? When will we, as a people force a change? We need to repeal the 17th amendment and go back to the State Legislatures selecting our Senators and stop them answering only to the special interests that can give them the biggest check. I know that I am not alone, and I am as pissed off as I have ever been with politicians and am ready to put my time, money, and effort behind my anger and work to kick the bums out of office.

But that’s just My Arrogant Opinion

Damn it! Look, if you have enough waste in government programs to pay for this freakin’ health care program you want, fix the damn waste first! Then let’s talk. Until then, take a long walk down a short pier!

In an article in The New York Times, Mr. Obama tells us,

Two-thirds of the costs for covering new people will be paid for by taking waste out of the system

That is a lie from the pit of Hell and it smells like smoke! Stop trying to treat us as if we were children.

But that’s just, My Arrogant Opinion

Insurance, a sore subject lately. Mr. President let’s take a look at this shall we? First of all, we are talking HEALTH insurance, not AUTO insurance. They are not the same, and they are not purchased for the same reason. Auto insurance is purchased for the same reason we buy homeowner’s insurance, to protect the lender, that is comprehensive. Liability, the part you keep trying to associate with your plan for forcing us to buy health insurance isn’t to protect our vehicle, it is to protect us from legal actions resulting from our incompetent use of the vehicle.

Now the way I understand this is that you are planning on fining me $3800 if I don’t buy insurance. What was that again? You are making me a lawbreaker for not buying insurance? Okay, where are my rights? Do I have a right to a jury trial? What about an attorney? Can I just go to jail if I refuse to pay? And if I do go to jail, who pays for my health insurance there?

Let’s get real, shall we? Who are you going to have enforcing this, since you are getting dangerously close to making it unprofitable for me to work at all, I would be just as well off in jail and letting the government take care of my needs.

GET THE HELL OUT OF MY BUSINESS AND LEAVE ME ALONE!

But, that’s just My Arrogant Opinion

President Obama, I understand that you find the alleged actions of the rogue ACORN workers inappropriate.  Personally I find them criminal, but here are a few things I do find inappropriate.

I find it inappropriate that you have abandoned your promise to not raise taxes on anyone making under $250,000 and can do so with seemingly no shame.  By the way, I think if you would ask most people, they would agree with George Stehanopoulos that forcing someone to buy insurance or be penalized is a tax, and that is just one of many I am hearing proposed.

I find it inappropriate that you would show up on five different news programs this morning yet manage to snub the one that doesn’t fawn over your every word.  I find it even more inappropriate for you to spend an hour on  The Late Show with David Letterman on Monday. Don’t you have things you need to be doing? 

I find it inappropriate that you don’t pay enough attention to what is going on in this country that you aren’t even aware that ACORN is getting millions of tax payer dollars but with no information about the situation you are willing to call the Police officers at Harvard stupid  when they are doing their job, just because it was one of your buddies that was arrested.

President Obama, I really feel you need to keep your happy butt at home and do the job we hired you to do and keep your hands out of our wallets.

But, that’s just My Arrogant Opinion

Health Care Reform. Oh let’s not call it what it is, ie; Socialized Health Care. BO – The President wouldn’t like it, or maybe I should say he doesn’t like it, and has said so.

Isn’t having the government run the health care system and telling us that they are not going to take away our choice somewhat similar to Hitler telling Chamberlain that he had no desires on Europe? In other words a bald faced lie? People in the media seem to be having trouble with that word. But an intentional statement designed to hide the truth is a lie. Okay, that’s all said, let’s look at some logical points here.

No one is being forced by the government to change their insurance plan. This is probably true, no one is going to force you to take part in the government plan, with one small exception. You will be required to PAY for it. If it is run by the government, it is run with tax dollars.

You won’t have to give up your present coverage. Okay, the government won’t force you to give it up, but the truth is that if our taxes are being used to subsidize health care then companies will stop providing it. It is a hassle and an expense that they would certainly like to be shed of. Where does that leave us? Why either uninsured, or right on the Obama Single Payer Bandwagon.

Will the government offer us vouchers or tax deductions for choosing our own coverage outside the plan sponsored by government? Well, think about school vouchers, those have been sought by the people who do not like the education provided by our tax dollars and who have taken it upon themselves to send their children to private school, the government says no, you may not have tax vouchers for the money spent on private schools, but thanks for playing our game.

It would appear to me, that if this plan goes through, that we are just screwed again.

There is nothing that we Americans love more than being told what we can and cannot do, where we have to buy things and what we can buy. Or, maybe I have us confused with someone else. I am still seething! My health insurance carrier has decided it can save money by forcing me to buy my scripts from them by mail order.

Personally, I don’t have anything against mail order pharmacies, but I do take exception to being told that this is what I HAVE to do, or the insurance company will not pay. Well, I understand that some of the medications I am on are pretty expensive, but it is a situation where the insurance company wants me to front the money for a 3 month supply of my medication (Plavix is one of them) and they will fill the script and mail it to me.

But wait a minute! Buying prescriptions in 90 day supplies is cheaper isn’t it? Why, yes it is! However, when you are struggling to pay for all your medicines (I take 13 different drugs a day) it becomes impossible to pony up for 90 day supplies all of a sudden. Last week, when I found that the insurance company had ceased to cover my prescriptions and the total amount due for the few that I was getting refilled was over $500, I had to cancel the prescription refills.

Not only am I having to do without drugs designed to help keep me alive, but against all logic, I still have to pay for my prescription coverage as a part of my health insurance plan. I feel as though my insurance company is stealing money from me. In fact, it has the smell of some sort of extortion racket from where I sit.

In addition to everything else, I don’t have access to a pharmacist like I would if I were dealing locally, and I am also forced to give this outfit a credit card number for them to charge my medicines to when they send them. This at a time when credit is tightening up all over the country. Would they have me die from not getting my medicine if my credit card was declined?

Well, we are doing everything we can to get all of our meds changed to the ones on the discount list at Wal-mart. That pisses me off too, I am being forced to change my pharmacy because my insurance company is trying to control my life. People, this is where we are headed in this country with nationalized health care. The government is going to be telling us what we can have, where we can get it, and when it is available.
