A very good friend of mine is going to Haiti and asked me to spread this around. I hope you will help them out.

Secessionists

by: Acebass

Thu Mar 04, 2010 at 03:30:07 AM EST

What is going on in this country? Have they gone completely nuts?

I think I know the answer to that but these are, from all outward appearances, rational everyday people but since we elected our first black President it seems we have been stricken with mass hysteria. How can you otherwise explain all this talk of 10th amendment, and secession.

Debt collector harassment

by: Acebass

(We have all dealt with these folks at one time or another. - promoted by RDemocrat)

Ever have that come up on your caller ID. It's PNC bank, or at least the people who collect for PNC bank. My car payment was due December 27, 2009 and they have been calling almost hourly starting 2 days ago. They start at 9:30am and they won't stop till 9:00 pm. You may be wondering how I know it's them, it's because I've talked to them when they've called. That doesn't matter to them though because no matter what deal I make they will call back once or twice before the date that I set with them so I don't answer anymore.

I have fought back financially despite being unemployed. I have my bills caught up for the first time, I'm only 4 days behind and I'm sorry but I deserve a bit more respect than that. It's New Years Eve for crying out loud. Of course I found out the hard way when it comes to PNC bank, how customer friendly they are. When I had first got the car I was laid off for about 3 months. During that time I feel behind 30 days. I had previously opened a checking account with PNC bank because they had a branch across the street from my work, I though that would be convenient for paying my car payments, I didn't realize just how convenient it would be. One evening, at work, I got a call from PNC bank, a young lady informed me that since my check had just been deposited they were going to take my car payment out of my checking account and it didn't matter that I'd just mailed my rent check a few days earlier and that my landlord deposited the check that very day.

Congress "Getting Completely Crushed" With Over 100,000 Calls For Obama's Healthcare Reform

This just tickles the crap out of me. You see every Tuesday night for a couple of hours, I've been going down to my local Democratic headquarters and helping phone bank supporters for Organizing for America.
There's just a hand full of us but there's a little hand full of us here and there all across America. We've only called people who have shown up on our list, through the OFA web site or the campaign and this is what true grass roots power can do! Screw a bunch of Teabaggers... :D

Republicans???

(I've been there! - promoted by Hillbilly)

I really didn't realize how much of a liberal I was until I started working at Louisvilles largest hospital. My experiences here have been one short of what we used to call workplace harrassment but I soon found out that didn't apply here.

Best reason yet for Single Payer

by: Acebass

Wed Sep 23, 2009 at 20:48:37 PM EDT

(HR 676 is the way to go!! - promoted by RDemocrat)

This has been going on since before July of this year. This is a tug of war and it's all about money, and your health. Think about that. Nortons isn't saying you can't come there but they won't honor Anthem insurance.

If you've ever read an Explaination Of Benefits form it's the total amount charged including the mystery money that the hospital agrees to write off if you have the right kind of insurance. If you have Anthem insurance your charged the full amount if your in a Norton hospital.

My personal healthcare horror story

by: Acebass

Fri Sep 18, 2009 at 23:12:23 PM EDT

(Thanks for this diary!! - promoted by RDemocrat)

This is something I read at the rally just before Congressman Yarmuths town hall. I've since added to it and I wanted to share it with all of you here.

My story starts on June 20th. My wife hadn’t felt very well for about a month but that weekend she developed a pain in her back that moved to her front lower abdomen. We thought at first of appendicitis and so I took her to the emergency room. They did some tests and after four hours of laying on a hard exam table my wife was told they needed to admit her for some more tests. After another four hours of laying there she was put in a room. She lay on that exam table a total of 8 hours.

My take on Teabaggers

by: Acebass

Sun Sep 13, 2009 at 09:06:40 AM EDT

(Thanks for your take!! - promoted by RDemocrat)

First and foremost they are loud and boorish. They make no sense, they are like the angry mobs who would break into the jail with a rope and race the captive to the nearest tree and lynch them so as to appease the crowd. The tea-party movement is dangerous because it plays on your emotions and not your common sense. They agree that your hurting and then they give you the villain, big government, that must be the root cause of it all.

A bad Steven King Movie

by: Acebass

Sat Sep 12, 2009 at 06:48:15 AM EDT

Why is it I think I'm in a bad Steven King movie? It's like since December the world has been turned upside down and even though we have the controls, the bad guys are still winning.

Mad as hell doctors

by: Acebass

Sun Sep 06, 2009 at 17:46:30 PM EDT

(Great diary!! - promoted by RDemocrat)

I ran across this web page at one of the forums I frequent and I gotta ask, when were we going to hear about it?

I know there are several groups in Kentucky claiming to be for single payer health care and I've contacted them so I know they have my e-mail address, why did I just find out this caravan was going to be in Louisville on the 22nd?

Someone seems to be dropping the ball. we need people there, a lot of people there. We need to be getting the word out. Go to their web site watch the video, It's long but worth it. They tell it like it is and even made me change some thinking on things such as tort reform.

I don't believe tort reform will cure eveything but I can see where with single payer there will be no need because the medical liability will be taken over by the government. They will pay for whatever it takes.

 

Check them out and see what you think.

Health Care Around the World

I saw this article on Huffington post. Everyone should print off a copy so that when you met someone who hasn't a clue of what universal health care is like you can show them.

What a disgrace. Is there nothing we, as normal educated citizen, can do to have our voices heard over the lunacy that is the birther Town Hall disrupters?
