I deci...Well, it's about time to check back in. I decided a couple of months ago to out myself at the behest of Sput's charming wife. Now that she knows that I am a government-phobic, urban refugee living in backwoods Idaho maybe she will lose interest in me. Now, to the subject at hand. Though I am a reformed liberal/hippie, I could never bring myself to deny medical treatments to anyone. I am a relatively soft-hearted conservative. I just wish that the whole medical care issue could have been solved within the private sector. Even the most deluded and ignorant liberal has to know by now that the government can run nothing efficiently. Obamacare will be an unmitigated disaster...wait and see. Sput must be getting close to Medicare age and I am happy for him. Living without medical insurance must be a daily nightmare. I just hope that if he needs any really expensive medical procedures done, like by-pass surgery, that he gets it before Obamacare hits high gear. Then he, and the rest of us elderly folks, are going to find out about government health rationing boards. Of course, nothing was said about this when the law was being passed, but it will soon show itself to be an ugly reality. As one ages, less and less money will be spent on his/her medical needs. Most folks are ignorant of the dark heart of progressivism. Population control has always been high on their priority list. Take abortion for instance. It is all about population control. The issue of a woman's right to choose is just window dressing and a fiction, but it works to assuage the masses. As it stands, something like 50 million babies have been murdered in what is by now the biggest holocaust in human history. The abortion industry makes Hitler look like a piker by comparison. It enables the progressives to thin the herd on the front end. Now that we have Obamacare, they can thin the herd on the back end through health care rationing. After a while you can look for euthanasia to be introduced and I am not opposed to that. It will be more humane than wasting away in a hospice. The thing to watch for is that it will be voluntary in the beginning, but at some point it will most likely become compulsory. That will be when things get draconian. The progressive's biggest oversight is in regard to the dark side of human nature. They seem to be either completely oblivious to it, or naively believe that human evil will be evolved out of the gene pool at some point in the future. Good luck on that one. The next generation will get an up close and personal look at the Satan that they don't believe in. He (or it) works through human instuments...think of history's monsters. If there is no Satan, the evil that motivated them is bad enough. Bottom line...Sput when you get on Medicare have some testing done on your heart so that you can get treatment before your beloved Obamacare kills you through rationing. Don't look for much in the way of health care after the age of 70.Jerrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12901178.post-29996557883073865052012-01-18T17:14:07.746-06:002012-01-18T17:14:07.746-06:00This is all sad but true.

Nothing prepares one for old age. All there is to look forward to is progressive degeneration...what will malfunction next? Sort of like being an old car. The prognosis is not good. The only thing worse than the physical ailments is regrets in regard to relationships. Memories of love and laughter with friends mean more now than concerns about pay checks, etc. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

I remember as a teenager working out at the JCC and then going into the steam room and listening to the old farts complain about their gall bladders, etc. Now I is one. An old fart, that is -- my gall bladder got removed a few years back, but at least in a more civilized way than Randy's. Now was that before or after they reamed out my prostate?<br /><br />Oh, by the way, instead of singles bars we now go to shingles bars.Cary Wolfsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12901178.post-72637253778366392542012-01-15T11:30:32.147-06:002012-01-15T11:30:32.147-06:00Sput, that's the way it works.....
