I was especially moved by this segment, as Keith makes it personal in speaking about his own father’s unstable health, and the dreadful situations that other families experience. He goes on to say that our mortality rate is increasing…yes increasing! Our mortality rate is rising because people are dying. Not because they have an incurable disease, but because of one simple thing: lack of money. We are letting people die because they can not afford health insurance.

Yeah, life is about survival of the fittest, but without access to insurance for all of us, the playing field isn’t level. The ones surviving…the ones that are truly the fittest, are the ones that can afford health care. The ones that can’t, are dying. The mortality rate of Americans under the age of 65 that are uninsured is 40% higher than those with insurance. Let me repeat: The mortality rate of Americans under the age of 65 that are uninsured is 40% higher than those with insurance.  That statistic is crazy. Once again, let me repeat: We are letting people die because they can not afford health insurance.

And we call America The Land of Opportunity.  Yeah but what opportunity? The opportunity for Big Pharma to rip people off with ridiculously high-priced medications? The opportunity for Big Pharma to feed fear by playing on our emotions, by selling us drugs with more side effects than the symptoms were trying to get rid of, not to mention trying to sell us more drugs to combat those side effects? The opportunity for Big Pharma to pay their peeps huge salaries and bonuses while people are foreclosing on their American Dream in order to save a life, their own?

Here’s Part 2:

If you watched the video that I posted, I bet you are as stunned as I am.

The Holidays are coming up. The remake of A Christmas Carol staring one of my fave actors Jim Carrey will be in the theaters. With health care in the state it is in…with health care in the direction that it is going, unless the necessary changes happen, I think this movie will have a different, more profound meaning for many.

Let’s not let this happen to us. What can we do today to make sure that it doesn’t?  I will end this post with this:  ”Some people make things happen. Others watch things happen. The rest wonder what happened.”  If we don’t do something about our current health care system, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Cecil: How did you like this one? I hope that you e-mailed to all of your friends too.

Adam: How goes it? I guess it was meant to be that you accidently made this discovery. A live version of ‘Invasion Of  The Body Snatchers’ is not my idea of fun. I think we have enough going on in this world to focus on. Again, I am grateful for your accident, and Obama taking charge of the situation. I am sure there are others involved too and my gratitude extends to them also.

Readers: In case you too are curious about what’s happening on the islands, here’s what I found from Saipan News:

SANTA RITA, Guam-The U.S. Navy will conduct live-fire training exercises on the island of Farallon de Medinilla from 7am to 1am on Oct. 13-14, 16 and 18.

The general location of this activity will be on the island of Farallon de Medinilla Training Area on a 10-nautical mile radius on all quadrants. The general public especially fisherman, commercial pilots and marine tour operators are advised to stay clear from this area during the time and date indicated.

Farallon de Medinilla plays a special and unique role in national defense because its location provides access frequency that supports established training requirements. In addition, the air and sea space in the Farallon provides sufficient room for the many different attack profiles necessary to replicate training opportunities in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Anna, Peter: Anything to add here?

Stay healthy and Peace out…

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

Good morning.

Liwanag: I agree with Arianna Huffington, “Why continue the wall-to-wall coverage of a story that had turned into a non-story — on a political show — during a week when health care, financial reform, and Afghanistan are all at the tipping point?”

So…that being said, let’s talk about health care again. I mean besides, taking care of our environment, because ok peeps, if our environment goes way south it doesn’t matter how healthy we are, we won’t be able to survive….but I am digressing….besides taking care of our environment, what is more important than our health? Hello…nothing. You can have everything, but if you don’t have your health, you basically have nothing. I know it sounds trite, but hey it’s true.

Last night Keith Olbermann’s Special Comment was indeed just that: Special. And I will even say, “Very Special’. If you didn’t watch the hour long special comment strictly on health care, I’m going to break it down for you and post my favorite parts throughout the week.  Maybe I’ll even post them all; he was so spot on. Olbermann got real clear and talkes about what really matters: Our time here…our life, and the inevitable ending: Death and the fear of it.

Here is Part 1:

Readers: We are at a crucial time with health care. It is imperative that we all do our best to learn, understand, and articulate to our friends and family, and strangers if necessary, why changes in our health care system is vital to our health and lives.

Hi Adam: So nice to hear from you again even if only to warn us of a potential threat. I am grateful that you were able to use your time travel skills to help us in our present time with the invaders. And that Obama is taking action to protect the world. Thank you.  How are you otherwise?

Ruth: My pleasure. I can tell you that I have been taking supplements from Dr. David Williams for at least 15 years. I have nothing but good things to say about his products. Although I have never tried TonaLean-3, I am familiar with it. Good luck with your diet program!

Zen Lill: I saved the best for last…Happy Belated Birthday! I hope that you are feeling much better now (Doug had it big time too), and enjoying your birthday weekend!  Have fun! – Happy to see you back here doing your thing with the girls :)

Peace & Love: “Live it, Give it!”

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

Good morning.

I haven’t spoken about health care in quite a few days but it is still heavily on my mind. Yesterday I received an e-mail (see below) and I decided to take action and make my voice heard at least one more time, since time is getting crucial….and we all need to speak up, once again…and again…and again…

Dear Michelle:

Congress will vote on single-payer, Medicare-for-All soon! They need to hear from single-payer supporters from all over the country.

While media coverage of the health reform debate is focused on the Senate Finance Committee’s bill (which was largely drafted by current and former executives at Wellpoint, the nation’s largest private health insurance company), several congressional votes on single-payer, Medicare-for-All loom on the horizon.

You can help determine the outcome of these votes by calling Congress now.

Ask them to support the Weiner, Kucinich, and Sanders amendments.

Sometime in the next two or three weeks, Rep. Anthony Weiner’s (D-NY) amendment to substitute single-payer legislation (along the lines of Rep. Conyers’ H.R. 676) for the House leadership’s bill, H.R. 3200, will come up for an up-or-down vote on the House floor.

Additionally, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) has secured a provision in H.R. 3200 that would allow individual states to adopt their own single-payer systems.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) will introduce two single-payer amendments to the Senate bill, one to create a national single-payer plan, and the other to allows individual states to adopt single-payer.

Contact Congress today and ask them to vote “yes” on the Weiner, Kucinich, and Sanders amendments for single-payer.

Go here to call for free. It’s easy, knows your Representatives, provides a simple call script, and is toll-free. Or, call the Congressional Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Thanks for all that you do,

Healthcare-NOW! National Staff

P.S. For more on the Kucinich and Weiner amendments, go here.

Ok…so I was intrigued when they mentioned that it was easy, they know your Reps and the call is free, etc etc. Okay. Why not.  So you click Go here to call for free and they ask you to put in your name, e-mail, etc, and a phone number where they can call you back. My first question was “When” and “Do I have to wait all day for a phone call?” I gave it a shot.  Within seconds after filling out the info, and clicking on ‘place call’ my phone rang. Cool. I picked up.  I was thanked for supporting Healthcare Now and then I was connected. Hmmm…So far I like this system.

Then the glitch happened.

At Barbara Boxer’s office, I was greeted by Boxer herself  - Well not her, but her voice. I was instructed to leave a message about my concerns or something to that matter. And then…Oops – the mailbox was full. Bummer. I couldn’t give my canned reply of supporting the single-payer option.

Next.

I clicked to get a call back from Sen. Feinstein. Just like the first time, within seconds, I was getting a call back. Again, I was thanked for the call and connected to Sen. Feinstein’s office. And again I was greeted by an answering machine. Only this time I could not only not leave a message, as I was told to call back during regular office hours, which were given,  (Ugh…I was calling during those times) and that if I needed immediate service to call the offices throughout California. Oh okay. Ooopps – sorry no phone number to any of these offices were given. The call ended. Strike two.

Next.

My final call back, was to Rep. Nancy Pelosi. Same as above issue with Barbara Boxer.  Strike three.

Frustrating yes? You bet. Here I am taking the time to contact my peeps and I can’t even leave a message voicing my desires for health care.

And….just to see if things changed, I did make all three calls again later in the evening last night. No change.

Healthcare Now: If you are reading, I like your plan, but it failed in the most important part…your weakest link broke….the constituants are not able to speak their minds, and support that which you are asking us to support. Your system, in my mind, has failed.

Readers: Okay, so maybe it’s not all the fault of Healthcare Now. But if I was going to put out a nationwide campaign for constituants to be heard…to support something I strongly believed in, I would want to make sure that the other end was prepared, so that everyone could be heard.

We all know that government isn’t the best run business, but come on peeps, (I’m talking to our Senators and Representatives now): You ask us to do our part? We’re trying to. Make it easy. Check your messages, clear your channels, and provide us with information that makes it easy for us to be heard. Is it really that difficult?

So that being said readers, if you decide to give it a go, which I hope that you do, please let me know if you were able to leave you two.

***********

Peter: Welcome back in. I had a feeling when I saw no comments that there was an issue. I know you have brought up the war reparations before and it stunned me then that it has taken so long for compensation. It sounds like Bordallo does have the people’s best interest at heart. I hope that her decision was a good one and reparations will come to fruition soon. Hafa Adai.

Anonymous: Thanks for commenting. I agree with much of it. I have to chuckle when I read Clemente’s comment though. He says, “…anyone who still might be confused about the difference between news reporting and vibrant opinion, my suggestion would be to talk about the stories and the facts rather than attack the messenger. Well hello….have your messengers, your reporters, the ones that represent your news show, give the straight facts and quit lying and maybe then, we won’t try to shoot the messenger.

And FYI Clemente: Vibrant opinion? Not sure I would use that word coming from FOX News. Talking semantics here, I would use the word spirited or strong, or perhaps passionate. When I hear the word vibrant, to me it means brilliant, colorful (perhaps because I am a designer). But, I can tell you one thing, FOX’s commentary is neither brilliant nor colorful – It’s about as white as it gets. Get my drift?

Hi Roy:  Thanks for telling us more about you. Sorry to hear that your experience visiting your neighboring planets was not a good experience. Do you wish that life was the way it used to be? I hope that you’ll share more.

Cathy: Hey, sometimes a girl’s got to do what a girl’s got to do. :) How I wish that people only tuned in for the comedy of it, but people actually do listen and watch, thinking they are getting the facts.

It’s a fact that I need to post and get out of here. Stay dry; it’s pouring where I am.

Gratefully your blog host,

michelle

How is everyone doing?  Hasn’t CAS given us some great ideas on how simple sustainability can be? Well, this is the last of the series, but since it is quite long, I’m going to break in down in two parts: 3A and 3B. I hope that you have learned as much as I have, and have managed to implement some of them into your daily life.

Here we go with part 3 of the series. It is called At Home: Choices made around the home have a huge impact on the natural world. You can quickly lower your impact by adopting some of the changes below. Once again, there are several categories and each of them has three steps, progressing from the simplest to the most complex.

Part 3A:

Waste

1. Purchase products with less packaging.*
2. Recycle bottles, cans, plastic, paper, and old electronics. Compost food waste.
3. If your local government has no curbside recycling and composting program, lobby them to develop one.

*Hint: if you’re buying fresh, you won’t need to worry about too much packaging. Most parts of California have great recycling and composting programs. If you live in a state or city that doesn’t, here’s where the saying, ‘politics is a daily job’ comes in :)

Energy

1. Enroll in a green power or similar environmental program from your utility provider.
2. Lobby your elected representatives to support legislation that limits greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Have solar panel or wind power installed.

Lighting

1. Turn off all unnecessary lights.
2. Switch all your bulbs to compact fluorescent (CFLs). Make sure to dispose if CFLs properly because they contain mercury and should not go into landfills.
3. Install motion sensor lights that automatically switch off.

To me, all three of the above are so easy and totally doable.

Home Heating and Cooling

1. Keep your thermostat at 78 degrees F in the summer and 68 F in the winter.
2. Turn down heat or air conditioning when you are sleeping or not at home.
3. Install a programmable thermostat to ensure your home’s temperature is optimal for your comfort and for the environment.

There you have it again. What do ya think? Doable yes? Now…go out and do what you can. Thanks :)

Zen Lill: Thanks for clarifying, however, I wasn’t necessarily speaking to you or Al; just the making a general point that the general vibe is different now, than it was before the election. The optimistic attitude…the hope….it has faded a bit.

I think so many people are expecting so much. I think we’re desperate for change. People need to realize that we can make change happen, as long as we keep the politics of the day before us – as Sharon said….and in my mind, “Do something”.

This country is pretty messed up to for things to change quickly. We need to realize that it took time to get the country in the state that it is, and it will take time to clean it up. It certainly seems to be a lot easier to mess things up, than to fix them.

Anna & Peter:  Sometimes things happen that look bad on the onset, but if all was revealed, one might sigh and say, ‘We should be thanking our lucky stars.” This is one of those times. Hafa Adai.

Ah….Vera: Now you really don’t expect me to tell you now do you? :)

Evelyn:  I need to leave too early this morning to read your post, but it looks very interesting and I’ll read it later on today. Thanks for sharing.

6:41 AM: I am posting early as I have a seminar to attend to. I just briefed the comments this morning – wow too many to handle this early. But I did catch that our president won the Nobel Peace Prize – Googled it quickly for a fast read- thanks for the heads up readers!  You are always so on top of the current! I am so delighted by the news – it has made my day! Have a good one!

Gotta run….

Good morning.

Mai Ling: It is my understanding that we are now clear on this matter.  But yes, I would appreciate you re-examining your feelings towards humans.

Sharon: You need not worry. Politics will always be an area of conversation on my blog. I did not start this blog thinking it was going to go politico, but it has and I am grateful that it has. I am not tired of politics but frustrated of the direction that politics has taken. And that is no fault, but our own. I agree with you  in your statement saying that those who wish to manipulate and control us NEVER get tired of politics. Our complacency in this world is what lead us to be in the position that we are in now.

Quite honestly, I am disappointed in many of the people who were so excited, who were so willing to put so much time getting Obama in the white house, and have now taken a break, as if to say, “We voted him in, now it’s time for him to do his job.” Politics and striving for what we want is a daily job…it is just the beginning of creating the changes that we fought so hard for when we were trying to get him elected.

If we relax on our laurels,  we could possibly end up like the people in your country, and saying the words, “If no one in my  family has been maimed or killed,  then it is a good day.” People in America can’t even fathom saying those words. The worst that most can think, is that they will be jobless and homeless, not living in fear of being killed. But if our country continues in the direction that it is….if our country continues to spiral toward a worse economic disaster, we just might be saying those words. I don’t want to be saying those words.

Hey, I never thought our country would be in the state that it is in, but it is. And it could just as easily get a lot worse if we don’t band together and make politics a conscious part of our daily lives. If you don’t like the direction that politics is going, then participate and change it. No one said it was going to be easy.

Evelyn: Thanks for the heads up on the Swine Flu – great information. I have put the items on my shopping list. And thanks for your article too Ruth. There are many moms out there reading so I’m sure they will find your article interesting. Oh and love the exchange of words between you too – sounds like me and my mom. :)

N: You are correct. The interest of the people is not in the forefront of their minds or they would not be so opposing. It is disturbing to say the least, and not surprising at all.

I don’t know which ‘initial’ I am speaking to, or if what I’m going to say is even relevant to your comments, but I am really tired right now, and I really don’t care, so I’ll just speak what’s on my mind, and what’s been on my mind….and rant….of spending money on war, the deficit, not spending money on health care….blah, blah, blah….

The same people, who rant their protestations about health care reform…where were you when we were spending billions in the Iraq war? Where were you when the fear mongers were spending those same billions, all in the name of safety and protection for the U.S. citizens? It was okay to create such debt then.

But now?….when so many citizens are losing their health insurance, when so many citizens are denied coverage, when so many citizens are having to sell everything they own in order to care for a sick, loved one….where is the love for the U.S. citizens now?

Why are you against spending billions in the name of safety and protection now? More than anything citizens need a roof over their heads for safety, and protection from sickness and disease.  What is more important than a nation with healthy, strong citizens? So much for love thy neighbor.

And speaking of the media…why doesn’t the media ever point this out?

It makes me think, that if fear is bred by enough people, such as the actions of our past administration, and the controlled media, and the citizens of our nation feel personally threatened as a whole, such as the threat of terrorism, people will band together and do something about it.

And contrary to that, if people refuse to look past their own needs or the needs of their families, if people just don’t care about the livelihood and health of others, as many stated in that DC tea party video I posted awhile ago…if those same people aren’t personally going to be affected, then they will turn a blind eye, and do nothing to protect their neighbor. Like I said, “Where’s the love?” (sigh…)

Vera: Nice try, but you don’t fool me. You are not an Earthling girl.

Readers: Comments? Rants? Chitchat? Blog it baby.

Now, I’m going to eat a giant muffin and see how soon I can get out of my D-cup….and I am a female. :)

Peace out…
