On Medicaid reimbursement’
Published: Monday, March 7, 2011 12:17 PM CST
To the Editor,

I see no peculiarity with the “The Texas medical association believes we should be increasing Medicaid reimbursement.” Great idea for those who need help. Question is: Should we let Obama and his czars be involved? Answer: not ‘till hell freezes over, forget a stupid idea.
I see that, “The majority of physicians do not want to barter with even MORE insurance companies.” I have discussed this Obama Care plan with several physicians; not one of them like it, and all think it to be one step closer to socialized medicine. Why do we need to involve more insurance companies? I do not see this. Let us leave out any other companies, and neutralize all federal paper shufflers and ½ of the state people. It is the sick folks who can use those funds. The insurance companies will not benefit or lose one iota.

Get used to “Texas already leads the nation” since Texas constitutes 25 of the 307 millionpopulation (8 percent). Some of the 25 million are barely legal citizens. Texas will continue to lead the nation in many areas. Concentrate on the following point:

Now we are to March 5 and neither you, nor just any one liberal can tell us how we are going to pay the $14.3 trillion, or $46,600 per person. I say Obama has ruined us, and not a single yellow dog can answer the simple question; they all change the subject. Governor Perry is on the right track.

Stop and think, how do you “save a job” as Obama counts. If the job needs to be done, this translates to an opening lost for some unemployed person. Just how ignorant does he think we are?

Think about both (or more) sides of an issue. That is what others have done on the school funds such as teachers’ salaries, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, administrative workers, etc.

Good ideas. Other conservative writers may be correct on the WISD budget, but not on the reduction of teacher’s salaries. We need to create more “Greatest Generation” types, and fewer “cell phone nerds.”

3. All the things this guy is complaining about

i.e. more insurance companies, would be eliminated with Single Payer or what he's calling Socialized Medicine...it just convinces me that this type of person (likely tea guy)doesn't understand what Socialized Medicine is.


And the rest of the crap he is writing doesn't make sense..I guess he's talking about the deficit which is a long term thing and he's talking like it has to be paid off now.

4. I have come to the conclusion that my area

"A Christian Town" ... per a sign as you enter... could give a shit about the poor and down-trodden.
I am ready to give up on these folks... except for the poor and sick that I treat every day.
They will still be there when I leave.
