sorry boys... Cool


I don't think anyone can argue that there is too much money swirling around DC. Big Insurance says Okie Dokie, how much can we charge? Obama says how much will it take to get me re-elected? They say YES SIR!

4,200,000 have already lost their health care insurance.
Period. End of story.

Actually - no. Here's a more likely outcome exemplified by the oldest Government-mandated private health insurance system on the planet:

This is actually becoming kinda entertaining, not only here with the pretzel logic excuses, but out there in the real world as well, a typical example below. And yes, I know about the song on the CMA's last night (classic), as well as the late night comics, great fodder, if it wasn't so serious.

Botched NC Traffic Alert Warns Of ‘Women Drivers, Rain, Obama Care’
November 7, 2013 11:41 AM

Raleigh, N.C. (CBS CHARLOTTE) –
The North Carolina Department of Transportation sent out a traffic alert, warning people of female drivers, rain and Obamacare.

The North Carolina DOT sends out routine alerts to drivers about accidents and road work using email and Twitter messages.

On Wednesday, the NCDOT sent out an alert which reads: “A High severity incident has been Added for I-40 Eastbound in Wake County in Raleigh,” before going on to list the incident as “Vehicle Accident: Women Drivers, Rain, Obama Care.”

The message then advised drivers: “Stay Home.”

WTKR NewsChannel 3 reached out to the NCDOT officials who said the erroneous message occurred due to a botched test of the system. According to the transportation officials, the systems were being analyzed at the time of the incident and messages were only supposed to be sent internally. The IT contractor reportedly did not follow protocol, and the alerts were sent to the public mistakenly.

“The individual violated procedures by failing to turn off the external feed while testing and for the inappropriate test message content. The contractor was let go immediately for this action,” DOT officials said in a statement.

Has anyone ever asked if NW, Isobars, Bard recognize that there is a need for change to your current health care system?
