Fishy Mike asks....

Where were you at age 26?

One of the benefits of the health care reform bill is allowing you - as a dependent child - to stay on your parent's coverage until age 26.

I was an NYPD Police Officer. I Just got married.

66,000 Americans are older than 100 ! ! !

THREE CHEERS FOR THE SENIORS ! !
The most rapid growth in numbers is among the "oldest old." According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently 66,000 Americans older than 100, which is 20 times the number of centenarians who were alive in 1960.
Reuters thought it was a news story that there are 40000 Japanese people over 100.
So I guess 66,000 Americans would be an even bigger story? Pass this on to Reuters, and see if they can get a story on Drudge about that.

We don't have a HEALTH CARE Problem in US.

We have a delivery problem.
There are many people without insurance, but they are not denied medical care. What we have is a percentage of our population that are not insured, either by a private company, or the Government. The cost of their medical care is transferred to the rest of us, by higher premiums, or higher taxes. Obama's plan would get those people insured, but at what cost? Will it improve their care? Not likely. Will it improve our own? Not likely. Will we pay higher taxes? Most likely.

We have a good HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
