Paul Ryan (R-Wis.): No medicare by 2022!
Live in the US? Don't expect Medicare health care when you get old.
Congressman Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) proposed budget is a full-out, concerted assault on old folks. According to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), he would cut Medicaid by $1 trillion over the next decade and convert it into a block grant to the states, which would result in deep cuts to vital services for seniors.
Also, under Ryan’s plan, starting in 2022, Medicare would no longer exist. Instead, people currently in their early 50s would, when they retire, get a voucher to purchase private health insurance, thus transferring control of Medicare to the health insurance industry.

And I can guarantee you that those vouchers would be nowhere near enough to cover basic health care, let alone the health care needed for the chronic disease that old people get, just because they are old. Those who oppose the individual mandate are the invulnerable young folk who don't believe they will ever get sick or old and need that care -- they think they should be able to buy insurance once they are already sick (which Obama's plan DOES allow for). *I* think that if they don't buy insurance while they are young and healthy, they should be out of luck, although there should be an exclusion (or an inclusion?) for those who already have chronic diseases by the time they graduate college or get their first job, like those who develop diabetes during childhood, or any one of numerous other early-onset chronic diseases. I know my employers paid premiums for me when I was young and healthy, and I expect that my current needs should be covered, because I and my employer paid my dues! Even though I don't think health care should be tied to employment at all. But that's another story.

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
