Another par 3 course 1 day ago

Played the 9 hole course in Norwalk with the boys yesterday, and their play is becoming more consistently, although I still won most of the skins. I lost 2 balls and I was a little bummed by that. Maybe in a month or two we will play on a real 18 hole course.



give Americans universal healthcare (read all 5 entries…)
Phone calls 2 days ago

I made phone calls yesterday on behalf of the Health Care Reform bill in the house which will be voted on today. Calling the constitutes of key members of Congress, I am standing up to the millions of dollars the Blue Cross (Anthem), Kaiser, Humana, and other Insurance companies are spending to kill health care reform and the public option. If you still don’t know, the US is already paying 100 billion dollars a year for Medicare and other health care programs. Then states and local governments are paying millions or more for local hospitals and clinics in an inefficient network that is NOT doing the job of protecting American citizens.

That’s what this bill is about. Yes the bill is not perfect and there is waste inside the bill, but having people die from insurance company greed is worse and the loopholes can be closed later. All the billions of dollars we are paying now from employers insurance premiums, taxes, and deficit spending would be consolidated to pay for the program. We need this now. I can’t imagine wanting to be responsible for one more person dying due to the current “system” if this bill doesn’t pass. That’s why I am involved. Because I care.
