Fearing the Reaper
September 30, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Although I will not go as far as to say that President Obama and Congress has had a perfect 8 months, I will say that they have done a better job than the Republicans in dealing with the fact that President Bush stated publicly that his Administration did not have a clue on how to handle the Generational Change facing America and Humanity. For having stopped the free fall of home values and saved most Americans 401k plans after they lost millions, created the foundation for a Green Economy, and taken on those Corporations who still insisted raising their prices and profits I do believe that the Children of the 21st Century have a better opportunity than the Republicans listening to the Members of the No Nothing Party. However, the time of fearing the Reaper is over and why I realize some fear the old saying “Wait till you have kids” to quote someone famous “Parents’ You Just Don’t Understand!”
Actually, like I asked them when are you going to explain “Children, you just don’t understand?” For why I know the Republicans are trying to protect the guaranteed civil and constitutional rights of such folks as Rush, Hannity, and Glen; since it seems they can speak “The Truth” to many who say they oppose any government involvement and the ability of the Powers-that-Be to influence the President of the United States of America and Congress. Because knowingly or unknowingly they realize that for Americans to reach their full potential than the Barons of Society will have to go to extremes to meet the Challenge of “Zero Weight 100% Traction” and in the view of some people will do anything to keep the Status Quo in Power.
Yet, why not talked much about by your Parents and Grandparents for reasons I’ll let them explain is the fact that the Freedom of Speech comes at one hell of a price. Especially since you cannot tell this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature that it would be right to teach Your Children that it is ok to lie to Their Parents. And hence, lights the Political Problem of Generational Debate. Because why I can say that My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s have “Agreed to Disagree” when confronted with such political questions from Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders. Blessed as an American to have lived long enough to see Their Children willing to challenge me to a Technical Debate even if it means they may have to take a trip around the corner with Their Peers and Community Elders. I hope they don’t mind if I explain a few things to the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s in terms that they will understand. Because why I won’t go as far as to say that they are Ignorant of a Sustained World, seeing that the Founding Fathers of America was smart enough to limit the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Right of an American Layman Citizen while extending the Pleasure of a Self-Sufficient Government and Society to the Office of the President of the United States of America I am 100% sure that Your Parents, Grandparents, and Powers-that-Be will listen to the Logic and Reason that can prove that Political Argument.
For example; we all know that soon the retirees in the country compared to the workers in America will be 3:1, but no one is talking about what will happen if “We the People” keep thinking that “Warehousing the Elderly” is the most cost effective way to provide healthcare to seniors. Because why it has leas to Americas’ ability to ensure every American access to Medical Beds and Facilities, how much value will these building be worth one all the Baby Boomers are gone? In fact, I personally think that if we eliminate the needs of the Baby Boomers from the current healthcare debate and only looked at the costs associated in educating Americans on how they can become “Medically Self-Sufficient and Self-Insured” over the next 100 years that the Public Debate in Washington and around the Dinner Table would be a whole lot different than it was 30 some years ago.
Since, I suppose a lot of the opposition to healthcare reform extends from the fact that some of the Youth of the 60’s and Silver of the 70’s supporters are scared to death that they will be treated as bad as they treated their parents and grandparents. For why I have no problem imagining that some Members of Congress probably would take the political stance that All Baby Boomers pay for their own healthcare and let the consequences be what they may. I also know that Americas’ Elected Officials are held to a higher standard thanks to the Common Sense of the Youth of the 21st Century and Their Parents. Yet, if America can’t “Warehouse the Elderly” and make a profit than what are we suppose to do in order to provide for the medical needs of our seniors as well as raise the awareness of living a Healthy Lifestyle among the Children of the World?
Well, plus or minus what Congress hands to the President to sign into Law, most Americans are going to have to use Home Care Services for the Elderly due to the high costs of healthcare and health insurance since I doubt any healthcare reform will insist that Government and Society create all the beds and facilities needed by the Baby Boomers. And why not a bad thing, I do believe that with the technology in the hands of the Children of the 21st Century that the Health and Medical Industry in America needs to think serious about letting the Barons of Society invade the Home Care Services so that lower costs for Health Information will be the Driving Force needed to bend the curve of Healthcare and Health Insurance while building the Wealth needed to ensure Americas’ R&D stays in the lead on the latest breakthroughs.

Rainy Days in Georgia
September 27, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Why Congress thinks about making healthcare mandatory for every American, I have to wonder why the Home Insurance Companies, Banks, and Financial Institutions have not obligatory that any structure built within 50 miles of a flood plain carry Federal Flood Insurance since it seems the so-called Insurance Experts told many of the Consumers that they did not need to spend part of the Home Owners Insurance on such services. Could it be that unlike Healthcare Insurance which is responsible for horrendous medical bills of their clients, the Home Insurance Experts have not learned that Nature does not care about their flood plans?
In fact, with Healthcare and Katrina fresh in the minds of many and every American one step away from catastrophic Illness, Injury, or Natural Disaster wiping them out, would not a Person of Common Sense realize why Americas’ Federal Government owns and operates the National Flood Insurance. For why my hearts certainly goes out to all who lost their homes in the recent rains in and around Atlanta, Ga. Like those who insist on living a high risk lifestyle I hope that those living in the designated flood plains had Federal Flood Insurance. And though I will respect My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s and say that those citizens living within 10 miles of any waterway should have known or been told that there is a chance (odds) that they too may be at risk of losing everything. I do wish that the Left and Right would at least look at a National Catastrophic Insurance Policy that would provide affordable Health and Life Insurance for those citizens living in the danger zone.
Because why I don’t know what can be done to deal with those who knew or should have known that a house built 500 feet above sea level can be flooded by a few inches of rain or those Charlatans and Vagabonds who still insist that Private Insurance can handle medical bills that can run into the millions, I do hope that My Peers and Community Elders will take the time to remind the American Consumer that purchasing Catastrophic Insurance in Health and Home is a Personal Responsibility that has a National Effect. Because why Congress may have to figure out the details of how to pay for such events, I do believe the Logic and Reason that makes Federal Flood Insurance possible would be a good reference point for anyone trying to make the stand for a Federal Life Plan.
So, good luck to those will have to fight their insurance agent for every penny of payment while still making the mortgage payment. For why I am sure that there is a whole lot of American Small Business Owners who would love to sell you the supplies to rebuild, I would not blame any American for letting the property go to foreclosure and starting fresh in a new area of the State or Region.

Healthcare in the 21st Century
September 26, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Looking out well beyond what Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Officials can see; I wonder if My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s realize that they can direct Congress to set aside the Warehousing Mentality of the 60’s and 70’s provided that they and their children can come up with a Better Idea on how to handle the Elderly of Society. Because why the Elders and Powers-that-Be won’t let me take My Peers out and dispose of them properly, a little birdie tells me that President Obama is willing to listen to a story of Logic and Reason that shows the Children of the 21st Century can Create; Design; and Execute a Better Health and Medical System than their Parents and Grandparents can even Imagine. For why a 3:1 ratio of Elderly to Workers may put them at a disadvantage not of their own making. With the right combination of mindset and technology, should I say that I would warn the Children of the 21st Century to limit what their Parents and Grandparents want?
For why it would be nice to see the day when every American can enjoy their Golden Age in Good Health and an Active Life, getting the Health and Medical Industry geared up to handle such a monumental task is going to take Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders a few years of working overtime. Because could you imagine if your parents had unlimited expenses to keep them healthy and living an active life well into their 80’s and 90’s? Sort of makes a $1 trillion dollars look small compared to the fact that the Baby Boomers have never seen a Spending Bill that they didn’t like. Yet, I still think the Home Care Services provided by the Private Sector could do a better job promoting the Health of Their Clients while ensuring that any Medical Attention required is promptly meet.
Yet, it seems to me that it is one of the Players who is not at the Table of Congress that I am aware of in the healthcare debate. And so why I won’t tell the Children of the 21st Century how to use that Argument to regain control of the Health Insurance Companies, knowing that no person can guarantee an Individuals’ Health only medical expenses I do believe the Powers-that-Be will allow Civil Discussion on what Home Care Services would be seen as Basic Health and Medical Coverage from the cradle to the grave. Especially seeing that the type of medical care America will certainly undergo several upgrades over the next 100 years and going back to the days when someone perform operations on their kitchen table is not an option. Because why I do not oppose a Public Option, I do believe that with a Properly Structured Co-Op My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s can help Their Children step toward making sure every American becomes “Medically Self-Sufficient and Self-Insured for investing a Better Healthcare Plan

Peace on Earth
September 19, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
A three part series I put together in order to show that “We the People” can reform health care, I will warn that it is not for the political faint. So proceed at your own risk or level of comfort, but be sure of one thing. America is going to change regardless of your personal political point of view, the question I have for the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s supporters is simple. Are you willing to put up Your Generational Argument of Stupidity up against the Argument of Stupidity yet to be made by the Children of the 21st Century?
Part 1:
Responding to the Presidents’ Speech
While I enjoyed listening to President Obamas’ Speech last night I was shocked at the Congressperson who shouted out in the middle of it. Now, I understand the Republicans seating on their hands when President Obama called out the Loyal Opposition supporting Death Camps and the million other falsehoods spread over the summer vacation. And I can normally handle the collective boos that both sides use to express their political view; but in all my years of listening to the Office of the President of the United States of America speak before the entire Congress have I ever heard or even expect to hear an Elected Official of “We the People” call another Elected Official a liar.
And why the person apologized for his actions, I do believe that the Ethic Committee of both the House and Senate should call both Minority Leaders into Chambers since they are ultimately responsible for the actions and words of their members. For having lived through one political debate of “F” You, I do believe the Health of the Nation and the Children of the 21st Century deserve better from My Brothers and Sisters of 70’s. So My Republican Pundits what are you going to do about one of your own wanting to clearly stand outside the political boundaries of Common Decency since I know that you do not want this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature to believe that I can cross that line out of a loss of emotion.
But, thus I regress and apologize to My Republican Elders who understand why Honor and Pride matters. For why I listened intensely to the Presidents’ speech, I too did not hear all the details in the plan that would convince me that the Democratic lead Congress could write a bill worthy of “We the People.” And though I do not agree with the Republican Rebuttal, I hope you realize that I no longer have to ask to voice My Personal Opinion on what can be done by the Children of the 70’s and 21st Century to enhance their Parents and Grandparents Healthcare System into one that truly can change it into one the will be around to serve the Children of the 22nd Century.
Because why we all agree that Healthcare needs to be reformed, told by President Obama that he would be willing to set and listen to ideas of logic and reason on how Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders can deal with the Health Care and Medical Care problems faced by the Baby Boomers and the Children of the 21st Century. Let me share some insight on what this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature sees as a way to reach the Healthcare Goals mentioned by the Founding Fathers, Forefathers, and Ancestors of yesteryear. For why I can say that both Americas’ Founding Fathers and Forefathers of America agreed that every American should learn how to be Medically Self-Sufficient and Self-Insured. Ask your Community Elders if the goal of Americas’ Democratic and Republican Elected Officials must be to find a way using the Civilized Tools of Government and Society that leads to those ends. So with that in mind Mr. President, let me invite myself in so we can talk about what should be done by My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s and Their Children.

Medically Self-Sufficient and Self-Insured The True Measure of Healthcare Reform
September 9, 2009 by ItheConsumer.
Waiting to hear what President Obama has to say tonight about the need to reform healthcare, let me explain to my readers why I do believe that given the current conditions of Americas’ Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes that healthcare reform needs to be done. For why I won’t go so far as to say the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s think more of their cars than they do their loved ones, Nevertheless, seeing that My Peers and Community Elders hold their Auto Insurance Companies, Manufactures, and Mechanics to a higher standard than their Health Insurance and Medical Industries should speak louder than any voice in the Wilderness. Yet, seeing the No-Nothing Party of the 21st Century dare to say yes to My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s becoming Medically Dependent upon the business of healthcare insurance and the medical industries I hope that President Obama embraces a Public Option that will promote all Americans having the opportunity to begin working on making their family “Medically Self-Sufficient and Self-Insured” while Reinvesting in Americas’ Healthcare System of Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes.
Because why I’m not sure of how solvent Americas’ Health Insurance Companies and Medical Facilities after losing millions like most Americans, I do know that with a Retirement Force beginning to outnumbering the Workforce that Americas’ Rest Homes are going to need to undergo a serious Renovation. For why others can give you the projected numbers of beds that will be needed over the next 10-20 years, they fail to say what will happen after these beds are no longer needed or even how to staff the facilities that will have to be built. Yet, knowing Americans are not going to go back to the Warehousing of the Old and no amount of money is going to save my generation from the lack of preparation and oversight of the Youth of the 60’s and 70’s I do believe that with the internet and other innovations that Home Care can give us some relief to the high costs of following in the footprints of the Barbaric Healthcare System of the 19th and 20th Century.
For why I know it may be a burden to even think about what Americas’ Hospitals, Medical Facilities, and Rest Homes will look like a 100 years from now; however, seeing that Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders have been the ones to bring up the Debate of Healthcare in America all I can say is;
In looking at what Americas; Forefathers and Ancestors have achieved in the last 233 years to ensure every American had access to the best healthcare system in the world, can My Peers and Community Elders listen to the Children of the 21st Century so future generations will not grow up knowing that they are subjects of Americas’ Health Insurance Companies and Medical Industry Societal Monopoly on Health and Medical Advice.
