Obamacare Questions

As I watch MSM's gnashing of teeth and whining over the ACA, as I watch republicans whine about the ACA, I wonder....

Why is there so little information about the positives of the ACA?
Why is there little news on the people in America who need healthcare?
Why is there no news on the states that are doing a good job implementing the ACA?
Why is there no investigation into why insurers and others are opposed to the ACA?
Why is affordable healthcare for all Americans not a priority instead of an impossibility?
When did America become the 'can't do' nation?
When did any news agency or republican take note before October 2013 of insurers dropping Americans from healthcare or raising rates constantly?
When was the last time a news source reported on Americans whose coverage was dropped or failed to cover their health condition prior to October 2013?
OK, I repeat myself.
How is it our healthcare ranks 37th in world and we aren't embarrassed as a nation?
Why is it that technical issues are the focus of every day today rather than a 'can do' spirit of let's help?
When did America become a land absent of common sense morality and reporting when it comes to so important a subject?

MSM, you, we, can all do better, time we tried.

It would seem a whole new reality about healthcare in America became available October 2013. A discovery hidden till then, and you thought the Hubble telescope was a marvelous view into unknown regions?

The Conservative Apologist

If one thing is clear from the Arizona shooting, it is the inability of those on the right side of the political spectrum in America to face the reality that their words have power. The barrage of excuses and finger pointing is the consistent reaction of a political ideology that dominates much of the air waves today. One would need to believe that Jared Loughner's anger materialized out of thin air and his selection of victim had nothing to do with the political climate in America. This is just another example of an inability of most on the right to face the real world with eyes open. Today there is a bustling business in revising history, and there is conservative money to recreate the past in any number of ways. Examine only the conservative and corporate sponsored think tanks, bloggers, or the so called grass root movements that get lots of press but are corporate sponsored. To be clear, it is money that comes from ideologues who have done well under American capitalism, but ...

America, The Stupid

The other day a fake commencement address by a right wing talking head, Neal Boortz was praised as the best ever online. Since I know many teachers, and the work they do, and the difficulties they face in a society in which only money and sports are worshiped, I took umbrage with such nonsense. My solution to the buffoon's 'libelous'* speech - I am not sure what word to use when someone who earns their living talking shit all day criticizes people who actually contribute to society - was the old fashioned one, a good punch in the mouth followed by a toss off the stage. How else could you rationally debate a total jackass. I was raised in a world in which the teacher was in charge in the classroom and the student listened. Today in America every moron, with equally moronic parents, is not only right, but the teachers wrong. And then when asked why our students do so poorly, the teachers are blamed. Imagine if little Joanie studied instead of texting and kicking a ball al...
