A new health car bill has been proposed. Senator Rand Paul, who is eager to repeal Obamacare, is a physician. Here's an excerpt from an article at foxnews.com on why he opposes the new measure: "... Even the bill’s authors and proponents, using what I’m sure are rosy numbers, admit that their ObamaCare Lite bill will spend 90% of what we currently spend on ObamaCare. Other estimates are closer to 95%. Either way, did anyone go out to vote so we could repeal only 5 or 10% of ObamaCare? I didn’t..." The piece goes into detail on where Paul believes the bill goes wrong. I sense many Republicans, including the President, want to get any bill passed simply because they campaigned on the promise of repeal. That's politics, not good government. And, if it flops, Democrats will be relieved of blame, which will fall to the GOP. Passage is a long shot, so the argument is probably moot. Of course, Schumer, Pelosi, Sanders and company are warning of armageddon, the loss of health insurance by millions. That too is politics. They have no solution other than higher taxes to the runaway costs that will force people to drop their plans. At least the new bill eliminates the individual mandate, the most unAmerican measure ever instituted. Its most egregious misstep is not allowing people to join health co-ops, which seem so promising. I guess it's dumb to expect the same body that instituted the ACA to come up with a better solution.
Lately, people have been buying very little fiction from the floating book shop, despite fantastic selection. Here's what folks purchased today, which demonstrates the great variety on hand at present: Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time by Michael Shermer and Stephen Jay Gould; The Art of Sexual Ecstasy: The Path of Sacred Sexuality for Western Lovers by Margot Anand; Lose Those Last Ten Pounds: The 28-Day Fool-Proof Plan to a Healthy Body by Denise Austin; Fit for Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond; one on heart health, one on gardening and three non-fiction books in Russian. My thanks to those who bought.
