POST WEEKEND POST



“OFF WITH THEIR HEADS” Thus spoke the Queen of Hearts. However that happened in Wonderland not in OZ

Perhaps if the Queen of Hearts lived in Washington DC!!!

Sunday eve and it is time to rejoin the Blog world.  However  a weekend of meditation and  a Sunday of  football has left me with  vague ideas about what I should focus on for the blog.

Big Blue and  the Eagles have demonstrated that they can put on a good show; but cannot win. In fact neither can Obama in the national political Arena, Congress can put on the show but it is meaningless.

Party politics has precedent over national and international  problems. On Oct.1 unless a budget plan is agreed upon the government will have to shut down.

Of course since those Representatives who have to approve of any budget  will to their surprise find out that their pay is in jepordy they will hold an emergence session and pass a temporary solution that will solve all problems by raising the Debt celing and further risk making our dollars valueless.

Perhaps we could persuade Putin to broker deals.

Obama care requires the state insurance exchanges to be operation  by Oct. 1,2013. When the premiums are posted those that are counting on that vehicle will get ticker shock and opt out.
New Jersey’s exchange will be set up by the Feds. One of the supposed original participants “Aetna” has announced that it will not participate ‘at this time” since it did not believe that the premium  returns would make the enterprise profitable.

No one has been able to calculate the impact on small business, and on the number of employees who will find themselves out of a job.
Is it true that IBM and FedEx among others  are planning big changes in their “medical plans” especially related to the retirees who have become Medicare participants?  Yup!!!

Off Monday am to a social visit (routine check) with a MD. By the time the computer check list is completed there is no time for the patient.
