Of course our President's budget cuts target poor people. He's cutting medicare and medicaid again, freezing reimbursement rates that are now so low many doctors won't take medicare and medicaid patients. The HMO's still get their cut of money. Instead of cutting out the middle man, the HMO's, he cuts at the end, reimbursement rates and coverage--hitting the poor and elderly. Of course. It's so Bush.
Heatlh care needs revamped in this country. One way to slash costs is to cut out the middle man take. That's one way. There are many other changes needing made. Not much trickles down through all the layers of insurers and HMO's and required paper work to cover actual care anymore. It's a really deep pile of bullshit. HMO"s exist only to take money and limit care so they can take money. They rejoice in denying coverage to people so they can make more off those sick people. It's a whole industry and an unneeded industry. Cut them out.
I was halfway over to Oak Creek road with Snowman, to the guy who wants to adopt him, when I turned around and came home with him. Why would I adopt him out to somebody who knows the predator situation in that area and still wants him to be indoor outdoor? He's a white cat. White cats are extremely visible to predators. And that road is deep predator territory. What was I thinking?
I am a Cat Woman. My self-appointed mission in life is to save the feline world! To accomplish this mission, I get cats fixed. Perhaps my mission might be slightly delusional. This blog is a mishmash of wishful thinking, rants, experiences as I remember them and of course, cat stories and cat photos. I have a nonprofit now, to help keep the cats here cared for and to fix community cats. Happy Cat Club formed in 2015. Currently, we are on a mission to fix 10,000 cats.

ReplyDeleteSnowman wants to be indoor outdoor, but is doing great as indoor only. I just got an inquiry from WA state on him. The folks have family in Lebanon. Am waiting to hear back. They are coming down this weekend. They sound great and I am hoping it works out.
ReplyDeleteMy internet connection has slowed to a crawl lately. Am wondering why. Have comcast. Didn't realize just how slow it is, for DSL, until I used the computer at the youth activity club, during the FCCO clinic. They have aol DSL and it is lightning fast. The pages take several seconds to load on comcast. Reading e-mail is a slow process. It isn't right, whatever is going on.
