But now that Mrs. Obama has resigned, the hospital says her
position will
remain unfilled. How can that be, if the work she did was
vital enough to be
worth $317,000?

Let me add that Michelle's position was a part time, 20 hour
a week job. And
to think they were critical of Blagoyovich' s wife for
taking $100,000 in
fuzzy real estate commission.






It is unbelievable. She, and no one else in the health care
field, is
worth that much for that position. Most hospital Presidents
make in
the 200,000 range, so why is that part time job worth so
much?
"Senator's Wife"is the obvious answer. You have to pay to
play I
guess.





She was also instrumental in the patient dumping program where
high cost patients were "dumped" to lesser expensive hospitals
(much like Paul was when he had his "problems") so that the
hospital could save money.






Uh no, I was dumped on the street for not having insurance.
Basically left to die. We don't have many county hospitals
here in SoCal anymore. All closed down to "save money."






Wow - government hospitals shutting down because they can't
exist because of financial constraints.




Yep, they could not raise taxes to keep them going. So now
everyone is just sooo better off without those hospitals.




I know I am. Less of a suck on my income to run an inefficient
health care facility that can't get by on fees.





Who would have thought they'd be so inefficient they couldn't
justify their own existence.




Costs rise. If you can't keep up with costs you go under.
Pretty complicated formula, eh?




Costs raise, you raise your fees. If you can't attract people
with the new fees because of your inefficiencies, you go under.
That's how it works in the real world. If you'd like to find out
what it's like you'd better take the "red pill". Otherwise take
the "blue pill" and stay dumb and happy. (Interesting the color
correlations, isn't it).





Maybe we ought to put Michelle in charge of health care cost
savings. She *does* have experience. Who needs "death panels"
when we have the first lady.





We already have death panels. Real ones who say "sorry, no
transplant for you. Don't come back you're cancelled."

Paul






We could shoot more prisoners like the Chinese do and harvest
their organs. Then there would be
enough transplants to make the non prisoners happy. A perfect
government solution for those
who would have big government control their lives. For the good
of the many at the sake of the few.




Sounds like a repug idea if I ever heard one. Then we can say,
execute people the same day they are sentenced and with no
appeal.




Shoot, don't execute them at all. Just keep them warehoused until
they're room temperature. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee
some misguided liberal won't let them out like Dukakis did with
Willie Horton.





That woudl speed things up a bit. We'd have to preserve the
organs so they'd be put to death by draining their blood, which
we'd also sell. Then we can make spitting on the sidewalk a crime
punishable by death so we can harvest even more of those juicy
organs and sell them for 80K each.




Paul, you're too much. :)





I see your point though. One day we have medical care for all,
the next day we are reading from Mao tse Tung's book and singing
songs in praise of farmers crops.




You can have medical care for all if you want as long as you don't
have to steal money from the unwilling to fund it (or borrow money
you can't afford, or counterfeit money).




Which would you pick? A tax of 12K a year or a policy fee of 36K a
year?

Hmmm?

And when or if the public plan is put in place you'll be standing
in line to sign up. Once your employer cuts your benefits because
they are too expensive.

Paul






So, you're saying that a public plan can provide the same coverage
as a private plan with a savings of $24K/Year (36K-12K. That's
really silly!



Done every day. Called Medicare. Hugely more efficient because it
has much lower overhead, no executive salaries or multi-billion
dollar advertising campaigns or thousands of paper shufflers.




BTW: One can get an excellent private policy for a little more than
$12K/year and it will include decent dental and optical care as
well. If you'd stop pulling numbers out of your ass and do a little
research, you wouldn't look so foolish. As it is, you're 100% NOT
credible!




The cost for a family of 4 in 7 years is projected to be $36,000.00.
That's more than a mortgage for a 250K house. Some plans now can be
had for 12-16K a year, yes but they have rather large co-pays and
deductibles. Employers are dropping insurance benefits at a rapid
pace and not many people can absorb the huge cost. But they are
experiencing double digit price increases with no end in site.
Comprehensive plans are getting scarcer by the day.

You need to do some research, not me. You're either pulling numbers
out of your own ass or you have not checked the price in years.

Paul




Dreamer.


We all can't be lucky like you and suck off the taxpayer tit. Enjoy
your socialized medicine.

Paul



Goofball


No, really. I'll be working the next 20 yars and every time I cut a
check to the IRS I'll think of you.

Paul


No need. I'm retired, independent yet collecting social security and
enjoying my Medicare. I earned it too.

But thanks anyway!

Most people on Medicare like it. So it's good for everyone as you just
proved.

Paul
