A Comment Or Two

Great posts by our Boston insider, I'd buy her a Long Island Tea if I could. Mitt, took an impending socialist push and made something positive and truelly progressive out of it. That is what I like about Mitt is his grasp on fiscal matters and ability to sell it to the democratic socialists that run Massachusetts.
Do people like me who very rarely need to see a doctor get a major rate reduction if required by law to carry insurance. I have been sick once in twenty years, no doctor needed. I have been sewn up a few times but that is it. The best rate I can get is about $150 a month for something I won't use but about once every ten years as my odds have been so far. It is still a tax hike forced on people with no need. I will start a private health account but I will not pay for something I don't need. If I get cancer I plan to let it kill me, not the chemo treatments. Chemo took my boss down months sooner than the cancer would have, it weakened him to the point he couldn't fight anymore to the tune of many thousands of dollars in someones bank account. Until the government is out of the role of medical payee, costs will continue to skyrocket and insurance companies, doctors and unscrupulous pols will continue to rip us off.
True, Romney took the lemons he was handed to him by his Liberal legislature and made lemonade, it is still an awfully sour drink.
To coin Johnny Cash in Folsom Prison Blues, " I ain't seen the sunshine, since I don't know when", it finally came out of hiding today after record rainfall during March, for a day. Our levee system here in NorCal is being tested and flooding is expected on the San Joaquin system as the next storm moves in and levees are topped. I look at farmland and housing ten to fifteen feet below the water level in the levees and gasp, if the wrong levee was to go Sac'to would be a mess.
