mursing

Well, I’ve just been kind of soaking in being a nurse but more importantly I have been trying to spend time with my beautiful wife in what little time I do have off. I have had the troublesome problem of insomnia creep up on me and when your work nights, that absolutely sucks. I’ll write some post later about that. The other problem I currently have is that my pc has decided to try and take the eternal dirt nap for computers. Good ridance Microsoft. I think I may be able to convince the Mrs. that it’s time to switch back to an Apple. I just hope I can make the conversion and save my (blog) files in the transfer. I am in no hurry.

Anyway, I came across this little gem and I have every intention of sending to the folks at M.D.O.D. just to get their spin on it. I sure do enjoy their educational material. So check out the following and see what has been bankrupting our health care, let alone our ER’s.

Thanks Mr. President and the politicians in government.

This could be said to Bush since he dropped his fiscal conservative approach at the end of his presidency and wanted to push a ‘stimulus’ package. The current moron is going to be no better with him wanting an additional bazillion dollars. The frustrating part is now he has morons in D.C. willing to agree with him. Wait. Did we see any change in the recent elections? We may have seen faces and names change but the concept of fiscal conservancy has long left the Republic in the hands of a bunch of spend-thrift goombahs.

Lets examine what the bible says about debt and lets see what our government has done to us with the passing of the past 2 ‘stimulus’ packages. Maybe politics and religion should mix. Maybe the crocks in office should refer to some old-time religion (but wait we can’t allow that) for some common sense regarding the financial strains and problems they are tying to our future generations.

Proverbs 6:1-5

¹My son, if you have put up security for your neighbor,
if you have struck hands in pledge for another,
²if you have been trapped by what you said,
ensnared by the words of your mouth,
³then do this, my son, to free yourself,
since you have fallen into your neighbor’s hands:
Go and humble yourself;
press your plea with your neighbor!
⁴Allow no sleep to your eyes,
no slumber to your eyelids.
⁵Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
like a bird from the snare of the fowler.

Proverbs 20:16

¹⁶Take the garment of one who puts up security for a stranger;
hold it in pledge if he does it for a wayward woman.

Proverbs 22:7

⁷The rich rule over the poor,
and the borrower is servant to the lender.

Proverbs 22:26-27

²⁶Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge
or puts up security for debts;
²⁷if you lack the means to pay,
your very bed will be snatched from under you.

Proverbs 24:3-4

³By wisdom a house is built,
and through understanding it is established;
⁴through knowledge its rooms are filled
with rare and beautiful treasures.

For the first time in the 6 presidential elections I have been a part of, this one ’scares’ me the most. You stupid morons who think those of us with conservative leanings were afraid because he is a black man?! Get a grip of yourselves! It’s his policies stupid! The fear I speak of is the utter blindness of the those wanting to elect this socialist pig for a president. There is evidence in the words that have come from the man’s mouth and yet the stupidity of the masses is prevalent channel surfing and seeing his supporters on the tele.

1 Thessalonians 5:3

³While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

The interesting thing about politics is that the same principles applied to Christians can be applied to those who have fallen for this morass that spills from this puppet’s piehole:

 2 Timothy 4:3-4

³For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. ⁴They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.

My encouragement comes from the confidence in this present situation is that regardless of what happens in the world, it is all part of God’s good plan.

Proverbs 16:4

⁴The LORD works out everything for his own ends- even the wicked for a day of disaster.

I may have said it before but I try not to dwell on politics but it’s crammed in my face of late and every thing I hear seems to send my blood boiling. I listened to the two monkey puppets we have in place and it scares me. I think, “This is who we really have to choose from for our highest office?!” The more saddening fact is the blinding stupidity of those who cannot see Obama (forthwith, Sorry Sack of Bones) for the socialist he is. Socialism is not a new idea! Look at what it did to the U.S.S.R.! Please! Both candidates tout their records and you look at them and SSOB is a freaking communist. He even says so through what he proposes and people are taking it hook line and sinker.

The debate last night about made me puke. SSOB is willing to reward those in this great nation to not strive to work hard and tax anyone making over $250k. What an absolute moron! wah! wah! wah! It’s not fair. wah! wah! wah! I know he’s trying to target folks like me that as a nurse will not come close to making $250k a year but I am not stupid like a large number of his constituency. Heaven help them…and us. I look at the entrepreneurs in my family. The parents owned a construction company, the brother has a couple of start ups and my wife and girlfriend have started their own bakery business. Not to forget other friends that have their own businesses. What pray tell would cause them to strive to achieve financial freedom under SSOB?! They will work their heart out right up to $250k and then stop?! They go above that number and under SSOB’s plan; he takes money from ‘the rich’ to give to ‘the poor’. Don’t get me wrong I am all for helping those in true need but SSOB’s definition of poor include those that have bilked the system already, not willing to get out and work but would rather suck from the teat of free governmental handouts. Supposedly it’s only a 3% tax increase, but when will the government stop at taking more to reward those who are not responsible? The recent bailout is a perfect example.

2: government characterized by specialization of functions, adherence to fixed rules, and a hierarchy of authority

3: a system of administration marked by officialism, red tape, and proliferation

A.K.A. stupidity.

I had to write about it. The ‘burden’ placed on our current cost of medical insurance in this country is certainly NOT the medical industry. It is the vast paper pushing bureaucrats in the insurance industry itself that is the cause of these dreaded financial woes.

Cutting out the middle man of TPA’s would create so much less a hassle. Let me build this incredibly exciting scene. Yeah…right. So I recently accepted my new job at General Hospitals Are Us. Your (a)typical County Medical, largest employee in the area etc. HR says, “Well all you need to do is show our TPA your records that you had credible coverage and you will not have to proceed through medical questionnaires proving that you had coverage for you and your spouse while you were in school”.  The onslaught of the paper wave tsunami hit the house. Granted it didn’t help that we had 3 changes of coverage while I was in school but I am sure it is a HIPPA initiated requirement that every time any smidgen of information is changed or requested in your coverage, you are to be notified. So along with the 3 changes, I think we received them all in duplicate. From each provider. As well as from the TPA. Seriously. I have a stack of paper requesting the same information 3 times and getting letters from the TPA that inquiries have been made regarding coverages. So the TPA is sending letters, the previous providers are sending letters. You get the picture?

So I receive a final letter from the TPA indicated that now they have received my (patch worked) proof of coverage over the following year, but yet they need the medical questionnaires anyway. WHAT?! Egg sucking, mother trucking, gosh for saken *&%$#@! You mean to tell me this could have been nipped in the bud 4 weeks ago when I specifically asked the TPA which would be easier, filling out the medical questionnaire or sending in proof of coverage?! We could have saved a couple of trees during the process. I swear it must be a set-up between the insurance industry and the postal service for job security.

Tucked away on the back page of the local rag I read is the news that the U.S. government run postal service loses $1 billion dollars in the 3^rd quarter. Combine that with the recent collapse of federally run banks in California, and there are still people (AND the media) that want to elect certain individuals wanting to give yet more power to the federal government to control our lives?! Absolute insanity.

One day to the exit exam and I am almost a free man. Free from the tyranny of nursing school that is, only to be bumped into a higher tax bracket because I will actually get a paycheck now.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

- Benjamin Franklin

So Obama goes to Europe to campaign for the U.S. presidency. I try to steer clear of politics because the ‘no common sense’ we see from just about everyone in politics drives my blood pressure through the roof.  Try is the operative word, but the comments he makes ensures the fact that he is just another puppet. He says one thing here in the United States but goes to another country to apologize for the United States?! Okay Barack “Natalie Maines” Obama, DO NOT go to another country and lambaste the USA. Freakin’ idiot!

Two weeks left. Three tests and three papers last week. Four papers and three tests left.  I’ll try to blog more relevant material later…
