“Highly informed sources on Capitol Hill have revealed to me details of the Democratic plan to sneak Obamacare through Congress, despite collapsing public approval for healthcare “reform” and disintegrating congressional support in the wake of Republican Scott Brown’s victory in Massachusetts.”

Please read this. Progressives in Washington are planning to shove this down our throats and Dick knows how it is to be done. When I read this I was aghast that any politician would have the nerve to subvert the legislative process. I subscribe to Dick’s regular emails at DickMorris.com and usually find them very insightful.

Thanks Rush and Bluegrass pundit.

Thanks to The Patriot Room for alerting us to this video.

Politicians will not read it so maybe YOU SHOULD. Read the bill. All 1017 pages of it. Whether you support it or don’t support it, your Congressman is not going to read it so you should and then call your representative. When you ask them if they have read it they will call you an idiot, a zealot, or a disruptive influence but if you know more than they do all criticisms bounce off.

I don’t support the bill and:

• I am not a racist.
• An ideolog.
• A socialist.

I am:

• A Constitutionalist.
• A Conservative.
• A concerned American.

We will get nowhere copying the failed health care systems in the UK, Canada, and elsewhere.

This is a an eye opener.

My time is as valuable as his so after one hour in the waiting room chair I got up and left. Yesterday I had a routine office appointment. A few days earlier this doctor’s office called me to remind me. Great. I was about fifteen minutes early. More times than I can remember arriving early has been a benefit to me and the doctor so to respect his time I always arrive a bit early. I signed in. The receptionist never looked up.

Over the next hour, those of us in the waiting room were subjected to an obnoxious day-time television program. Ignoring the TV as best I could, I scanned every magazine I could find but started to feel like some appreciable time had already passed. Lots of folks had gone in ahead of me. A nice lady sitting nearby looked at me and said, “What time was your appointment?” I said, “Two-thirty.” She said mine was at Two.” When I asked what time it was she said just after three o’clock.

I got up after sitting there for an hour and told the receptionist I was leaving and to reschedule me. My daily errands, being home in time to greet my spouse when she got home from work were all timed and based on the agreed upon appointment time. Already I had wasted one hour of my day in the waiting room. A new appointment was scheduled twenty days out. There was no apology and no regret expressed.

I believe that patients have a right to know when the doctor is way behind schedule. This office made no attempt whatsoever to set my expectations. When I rescheduled I didn’t appreciate the stares or the attitude. I could tell they felt my time couldn’t be nearly as important as the doctor’s. Well I’m done being treated like a faceless name when I PAY for a professional service. I’m sick of being treated like I should be privileged that I’m allowed to be their customer. Keep me waiting I’ll either reschedule or find a new doctor.
