thinking Grandma

Day 2 of this bogging. No-one has viewed this bog - but it is like writing in a journal so I will keep trying.

Today my thought is about health care. All the nit wits in Washington are tossing around meaningless ideas when all they had to do was to ask some of us what we really wanted.
My friend & I went to breakfast today and her problem is that the company that they retired from was sold. Guess what - they did not allow the retirees to maintain their health benefits under the new management. Yup - now she has to pay $260 a month for supplemental plus her $ to medicare. NOW why is that not in the plan our illustrious government is fighting over?? All they had to do was ask us.
It seems you are better off health care wise - if you are destitute or illegal. Then you can be covered.
Enough of that tho - it is like beating a dead horse. Must move on.
I was not surprised to see a Kennedy still in Washington making waves and being heard. He is right about the media tho. The media picks and chooses what they are going to print - and we the public only hear their side of the story. This is not something new is it - been going on for ages. Good to see someone stand up and confront them now and again tho. Me I get the Sunday paper for the coupons - and coupons are a topic for another day. Thought enough for today. Tomorrow is another thought.
