Draft Number Lotto flashback
« on: March 21, 2010, 07:36:21 AM »
Back in 1972, I remember watching the TV all morning to see what would happen with my draft number in the national lotto.  The uncertainty was whether I would stay in college or be off to serve my country in Vietnam.  Today, something that feels exactly the same to me -- total uncertainty over my future by something out of my control, is transpiring in Washington DC.  Why?  Because I am a doctor.  My retirement from the practice of medicine as I have know it these last 30 years may be imminent.  But that is hardly the tragedy I see facing the American people.  Please understand that all of this has nothing whatsoever to do with health care.

Yes Tommy it is a tragedy and it will be for everyone. Looks like they got their votes...:(  And those folks that wanted change... I wonder how they will enjoy it without a job.

This borders on the insane & unbelievable, - and as a country, we sent these a-holes there. Some of the most blatant and despicable "vote buying" in the history of our country has just transpired. .. The TOTAL freakin' lies that were told to get this done. It's gonna save us money??? - I'm here to tell you, there's NOT a freakin' chance will this save a damn dime, and even worse, improve anyone's health. - EVERY government program costs FAR MORE after its enacted, than any projections made during it's inception. This total monstrosity will cost at LEAST 3-5 times what we've been told. - WE have just bankrupted the country, seriously - and forget about "taxing the rich" to pay for this pos, - that ain't how it's gonna play out. ... NOT A FREAKIN' CHANCE!!!
