My Transparent Sentiments On "Obamacare"

(I need to remain purposefully vague on this first point).

As the "Obamacare" ruling was handed down I was in a meeting with a health care industry firm.
From previous conversations they were anticipating (and ultimately hoping for) an affirmation because this would mean more customers for them.

They are now working to tweak their ability to market to the new bunches of customers coming their way from the "individual mandate".  They see a fundamental distinct set of characteristics between customers that have "group insurance" and those who have individual benefits.



When I first started this blog I make two keep points that remain at the foundation of my beliefs (with respect to the conscious outlook for the Black community to retain)

Metro Atlanta - South Fulton Medical Center Eliminates Maternity Services, Lays Off 80 Staff Members EAST POINT, Ga. —  As many as 80 metro Atlanta hospital employees may soon be out of job.     South Fulton Medical Center in East Point announced Tuesday it will be shutting down its labor and delivery services next month. Channel 2’s Diana Davis found out the number of deliveries at the hospital has been steadily declining. Obstetrician Dr. Precious Braswell trained at the hospital and delivered more than 100 babies last year. She said she’s not surprised by the July 26 shutdown. “We did fight for it to stay open, but I guess it didn’t work out for us,” Braswell told Davis. Hospital officials and representatives from its owner, Tenet Health Care, declined to discuss the issue on camera. In a written statement, the hospital said the decision came down to money.

1. You can never confuse "BEING IN RECEIPT OF A BENEFIT" (that allows you to live up to a certain standard of living) versus "BEING COMPETENT TO PRODUCE THIS DESIRED STANDARD - BASED UPON YOUR OPERATION AND GOVERNANCE OF THE INSTITUTIONS that you apply your talents and resources to
2. A city (local government) is a state chartered entity that founding members petitioned the state for incorporation as a city.   Their belief was that by granting them the power of taxation at the local level - they could create an ecosystem that synergizes a better living standard of their constituents at the local level.

Any "rote conservative" fundamentalism that I might have had over the years was changed after i attended the Concord Coalition's "Fiscal Wake Up Tour" in (approx) 2006 (IIRC).  

The program focused upon the long term damage that interest service on the federal debt would erode America's fiscal viability.  They  stated definitively that the next president of the United States would need to be honest with the American people, telling them:

1. To expect far less from the central government than they had gotten used to
2. To expect to pay more in taxes THAT ARE TARGETED at reducing the debt and not to justify more spending

Neither President Obama, the Democrats or the Republicans are heeding this warning.  As they both do their part to bring this nation to the fiscal brink.

Few people were told this week that the Federal Reserve purchased ALL OF THE US TREASURIES that were issued to expand the US debt burden.  The normal investors around the world were not interested in making the purchase.

IF it is true that the "Federal Reserve" is not a part of "the government" but is really a private bank run by a consortium of commercial banks - then it must be so that your "Social Justice", as transacted through the government is really just an arbitrage - in which the same banks that you now "Occupy" are providing the funding.

The true test for me regarding the strategic sanity of following a particular course of "struggle" is:

ARE YOUR PEOPLE RECEIVING ADDITIONAL COMPETENCIES AS TIME GOES ON?  

OR are they merely fusing an increasing amount of their fortunes upon a system that is clearly built upon sand and a grand "confidence scheme".

I have said in the past sarcastically (but it is true) that one day "The Least Of These" are going to protest the fact that other people are profiting off of their BODIES by making the intelligent choice of WITHHOLDING their bodies from being serviced, thus preventing any invoices from being submitted for payment on their behalf.

Sadly we might soon see the day in which it is ILLEGAL to withhold your body from servicing by the government and a fine might be imposed upon all who dare to wage such a protest.
