[quote=SK in CV]Since there was virtually no expansion of government health insurance in the ACA, you should be happy with the outcome.[/quote]

Government is forcing people to buy insurance from a private for profit company under the guise of healthcare. They are sleeping together. As I said, this “health” care is a gift to the insurance company.

[quote=UCGal]For the record to all folks (not you sk in cv) who comment about needing tort reform. California has tort reform for medical malpractice and has since 1975. The pain and suffering/punative part of settlements for malpractice are limited to $250k. This is not indexed to inflation, so it’s worth a lot less today than when it was instated. It also caps fees by lawyers, etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Injury_Compensation_Reform_Act

Here in CA we do not need tort reform, because we already have it.
And doctors still have rising medical malpractice insurance costs. I also read that despite this law, medical malpractice has gone up between 190-450% since enacted. (Different sources… different figures, but both still big numbers.)

When you hear about how tort reform will solve the problem, consider whether it’s working in CA, where it’s been in place for 36 years.[/quote]

Thank you!

[quote=temeculaguy]Let me preface this by saying that I think all politicians are equally worthless and no political party lines up with my way of thinking.

But to answer the question, if the economy is in better shape or appears to be heading that way at the time of the election, I don’t think it matters. Those of us in the middle, those that never give money or our time to either party are going to re-elect Obama. Since I could first vote and cast my ballot for Reagan, I’ve voted for the eventual winner in every election since with the exception of the time I voted for Perot. Which means I am in that chunk of people who hate republicans and democrats, choose the lesser of two evils at each fork in the road and usually swing the election. I’m happy with Obama, unless he screws up something that real people care about, not political junkies, he will win again.

This is unless a modern version of Perot comes out of the woodwork, then I can be swayed.

I’d like to see a hybrid politician, we have hybrid everything else, why can’t we have someone who takes the good parts from each side. Here’s my list in case any piggs are debating throwing their hat in the ring and being that next independant you can’t ignore. Keep in mind, you only need about 70% of it for me to get fired up.

1. Pro Abortion, in fact free.
2. Free health care, free dental, free braces, free cosmetic sugery (think about it, wouldn’t you want to live in a world where not only is everyone healthy, but they are nice to look at and feel good about themselves).
3. No malpractice law suits, in fact no punitive damages for anything, make people whole and punish wrongdoers but not with other peoples money.This will make #2 easier to accomplish.
4. Pro gay marriage-who cares, why should only straight men lose their house when they get divorced, equal rights and equal suffering, welcome to the club boys, your free pass has expired. On a serious note, don’t ever tell anyone they aren’t as good, it’s bad manners, were all the same. We are all flawed.
5. Tighten the shit out of the borders, make learning english a requirement to immigrate. If you really want in and are willing to learn the language, cmon in, we’ll make room for you. I learned spanish just because spanish language soap operas are practically porn, they can watch the kardashians, I don’t care.
6. Emiminate welfare, even for those mildly disabled. Look, Highway 15 has been under construction for 10 years, there are about 50 people working on it yet hundreds of thousands get free money. We will pay you double what welfare is, grab a shovel. If you cant stand up, you can hand out water, we will find something for you to do. I want to see thousands of people working on public projects, building schools, roads, hell I’m good with a hundred extreme home makeover projects going on at the same time, everybody can do something, lets let them.
7. Tax churches, admit it, it’s a business and there’s 2000 years of evidence proving it’s more evil than any chemical or weapons company.
8. College is free
9. Finally, and most importantly, eliminate all foriegn aid and all foriegn peacekeeping in the middle east. Private humanitarian aid is fine, all the other aid ends up in the wrong hands anyways. We got our revenge, now it’s time to pack up and not go back. It doesn’t matter who is in charge of what country, they will sell us oil or someone else will, let them fight it out. Our mettling makes us a lightening rod, and even when our intentions are good, it comes back to bite us. We have almost as many soldiers in japan and germany than we do in afganistan and iraq, everybody come home and everybody fend for yourself. Well maybe the UK and Canada, if anyone picks on them we can intervene, but screw the rest, we have our own things to worry about. When is the last time a french person thanked you for saving their country? The next time they are in trouble we can just say that we spent all our money on free breast implants, call back later. I’m cool with a strong military, but if someone attacks us, let’s kick their ass and leave, why do we have to stay and fix them? Just because it worked in Europe 70 years ago doesn’t mean it will work elsewhere. Nobody hates sweeden, when did they save the world?[/quote]

At this point, any job will do for many people. He could get a lot of votes for that reason alone.

IMO, government health insurance should not sleep in the same bed w/private insurance companies. This was a failure from the beginning and a gift to private for-profit insurance companies. JM2C

I wasn’t going to put this information on Piggington b/c he’s not a contractor and I wanted to keep him all for myself 😉 But I’m going to share it so that others may benefit from his service. Antonio Fletes 619-462-1109. He is here legally living in Spring Valley and knows how to do a LOT of different things. Only charges $150 a day and earns every penny. Older guy, but do not be fooled. He works hard and kicks ass.

We are putting in our patio. He helped clear and dig up the yard and set the forms. We had a little surprise when removing the planter which butted up against the house, which oddly and unbeknownst to us apparently somehow was propping up the wall of the house. Also, as we were removing the dirt, we uncovered the sewer drain had a huge hole in it, covered by a brick. God only knows how long it was like that. He fixed that. He set forms and cemented supporting walls.

We had some cracks in the stucco and we asked if he could fix it. He showed us photos of his work. While removing the stucco, we had rotted, termited wood. Had to have been 20 years of damage. He replaced all the bad wood. The guy is great and I feel really lucky I came upon him. He knows his shit and doesn’t mess around.

All I wanted was a patio and uncovered a can of worms. It could have been much more costly. This guy saved us a lot of money and headaches down the road. Not only is he a good, hard worker, but honest and very respectful and appreciative.
