Employers pay the premium and the employee pays a very small deductible to get treatment. There is no incentive to question a bill or not go to the ER for a cut. Insurance has taken the personal responsibility out of managing your healthcare decisions because people have very little incentive to cut costs. <br /><br />With obamacare this practice is spread to even more people leading to higher costs for everyone, except the totally government dependent generations who are entitled to not work and live off others.<br /><br />College costs are raising because of low cost student loans. Personal decisions are a thing of the past and we wonder why the government is out of control. <br /><br />skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-11521117793276413862013-10-02T13:16:13.405-04:002013-10-02T13:16:13.405-04:00Oh, wait, the President has designated some of tho...Oh, wait, the President has designated some of those "discretionary" expenditures as "essential", and so he is overspending from his "Mandatory" spending accounts.<br /><br />Maybe the President should designate the entire federal workforce as such and end the shutdown today!

In addition, the great recession occurred under the Bush administration. Pres. Obama skillfully fought Republican obstructionism to get our economy back on the road to recovery – which includes jobs.<br />Obama has done an excellent job and any Democrat will do just as good or better, but only if we rid the Congress of the GOP and Tea Party members. You people who love the GOP and Tea Party are either rich, too old to know better, or are a little touched in the head and don’t know the difference. You all need to get on the American band wagon and support our President no matter which party is represented. One other thing, try and forget that Obama is black; he is a true American.<br /><br />It's terribly obvious that these morons never made it passed the fifth grade if that.

The Post office is still posting letters and the "intelligence" agencies will still be doing whatever it is that they do. They are going to close the parks and that's a shame but that seems to be the extent of it. They used to say "non essential" federal employees would be laid off but they use different terminology today because people were asking why they were hired in the first place if they aren't essential. Personally I think with the exceptions noted above the federal government should shut down for about four months every year and if it works well enough we can extend it to 6 months. Meanwhile the states can run the parks.<br /><br />Although the asshats on the left will tell you differently, It means that a few worthless federal employees will sit on their ass doing nothing at home, and draw a retroactive pay check; instead of sitting on their ass doing nothing at some bogus government agency.<br /><br />Its like trimming the fat, except the fat comes right back... Yup. These Fed workers could disappear and no one would miss em.<br />AS for them getting payed?? They shouldn't get payed while furloughed. Who the hell pays people to sit home??<br />Oh wait. I forgot. It’s the Govt and they use our tax dollars to pay people to sit home and do nothing or sit in some Govt office doing nothing. If you’ve ever been to a VA office like I have, then you’ve seen that nobody does anything and that nothing goes on there anyway but a bunch of idiots wasting your time because they don’t know what the hell they are doing anyway... Just like at the Post Office.<br />Bottom line: It means the country is being held hostage by a radical group of deranged Leftist extremists led by that old fart Harry Ried who’d rather use extortion than see reason. And followed by another bunch of bullying socialist and special interest groups. And that's how Democrats passed Obamacare in the first place, didn't they!!Rottweilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05169370591461093067noreply@blogger.com
