So I just don't understand. When I graduated high school, I had no desire for college so I went to work. I moved out of my dad's home and that is where my health care ended. I went down to State Farm and got me a health insurance policy. It wasn't cheap but it was important so I did it. I started working for companies that offered health insurance. I got married to my high school sweetheart. She had some medical issues that came up and we never wanted the "pre existing condition" tag, so in 22 years of wedded bliss, we've never gone without health care. I don't want DMV health care. Please, don't give me "free health care"

One friend had a first seizure in college, had to quit. Can't drive. Was covered by their parents insurance. That ran out at 25. Has trouble having a regular job with the unexpected seizures.

The other was a real estate agent, covered by spouses insurance, got diabetes from a gall stone that got stuck and did not pass, wrecked the pancreas. The spouse lost that job and COBRA ran out.

I had a women friend who wanted to change health insurance companies. They did the normal health research, got a letter back from the new company saying that her past mamograms were unusual, not cancerous, just unusual. They used the word "fiberous". So they would cover her, but not her breasts. I saw the letter it actually said that. So if she had not taken care of herself and not ever had a mamogram, they would have accepted both her and her breasts.

Just don't get me started about the British or Canadian system.

I have a two friends who through no fault of their own cannot get health insurance. They are naturally big Obama supporters.

I stay pretty quiet about this subject on facebook as not to offend them, as I feel very sorry they are in the situation they are in.

One person wrote earlier that Obamacare was like buying a new car when you only need a tune up. This is sort of my view. I will pay a lot more for the coverage I have and will probably get worse care when I do need it. I suspect we will have the British system in a few years.

I applaud Ted for his actions.

One thing, he is not a guy who disappointed you after he got elected.

I get posts from the a Boston Newspaper now, since the bombing there. They asked what people felt about Ted and his filabuster, I was going to post their responses here, but I could not because of the language.

I realize there are a lot of people out there who disagree with my views, not only on guns, but other important matters as well.

It is hard to believe a free people will choose voluntarily to be less free and be happy about their choice.
