I Just Got A Letter From Sheldon Adelson

OK, I lied. I did, however, get a letter from the HR Dept. of the casino that he owns. Wanna know what it says?

The Affordable Care Act is driving national healthcare reform, and as a result, healthcare benefits across the country are changing. Our Company's healthcare plans meet the federal affordability standards and exceed the minimum coverage levels required by law. Subsequently, the changes resulting from the Affordable Care Act have minimum impact to our plans and to our Team Members.(underline is part of the original text) ...

Here's my thing: If the Prince of Darkness is telling us that Obamacare is no big thing and everything is hunky-dory, what the fuck is lamebrain Ted Cruz going off about? Adelson gave millions to Newt Gingrich (when he should have known better) and then to Mitt Romney (when he should have known better); two men who promised to repeal Obamacare their "first day in office". Now, as it turns out, no one is getting laid off, nothing is closing down, not a damn thing is affected.

Oh, and by the bye, gas prices have been relatively stable since the election and the civil war that a certain doofus promised us doesn't seem to be happening. Syria's chemical weapons stockpile is on the fast track to be destroyed without one American life being destroyed with it and Iraq is puking itself to death without our help. Are things perfect? Of course not. They'll never be.

But it has become fairly apparent to me that the only thing that has been getting in the way of further progress is the pissant, sore loser, destroy-the-country-to-save-it, fuckstick Republican Party. If the shut down had never happened, things would be better. If the sequester never happened, things would be better.

Obama was the right answer. The Democratic Party is the right answer. It's time for some of you to start asking yourselves some fundamental questions. Are you a Republican....or are you an American?

Well that was a heartwarming letter from uncle Sheldie. Probably hand written too! Um.. the employer mandate has been delayed by at least a year. And since he has more than 50 employees he probably has put together a nice package for them. Funny thing about some wealthy CEO's they actually do provide nice things for their employees. So what you are saying is that a uber wealthy CEO actually provided a health care plan for his peeps BEYOND what the government would recommend? And BEFORE it is law? Why that can't be! Greedy bastards!

The overall point is, besides the politicians chewing on everyone's ear, who exactly objects to Obamacare? Where are the real world examples of people who Ted Cruz says are hurt by the ACA? And are these people actually hurt by it, or are they just going along with the guy at the microphone?

And goddamm it, where are the death panels we were promised?

The next time you and Sheldon sit down for a nice cigar ask him his thoughts on the individual mandate. You know the one that hits home the 5 dollar blackjack players? The ones that might delay their trip to Las Wages because their health care costs have gone up and need to make sacrifices? I bet ole Sheldon has plenty to say about that.

Show me where their healthcare costs have gone up. Show me where the ACA is preventing them from coming to Vegas or anywhere else they want to go. Hypotheticals, conjecture and sarcasm are nice, but I can get that from C-SPAN and FOX News.

I was against the shutdown. The best thing for the Republicans is for this healthscare thing to be running full throttle by next November. The costs will have an effect on voter's wallets by then and there will be no denying it. Now get that cotdam website up and running. Let's light this candle!

It's the Republican way, they'd all planned the shutdown since this spring or earlier, they all came out of the chambers after shutting down the government smiling and cheering. Then they pretended to be on America's side, because that's the republican party. When you have a base that is in the habit of denying facts and believing anything you tell them you can do whatever you want.

I seriously have no idea what you're talking about or why you are addressing me or what I would be looking for if I "checked back around July". Of course, you still have me mulling what "telling and smiling" might be.

And no, seriously.......sugar britches?

Now don't get your panties all in a wad there again. I know how excitable you can be. Telling and smiling hmm must have been a typo. Probably must have meant telling me how you are smiling when you are posting. You say I don't know you but you never know anybody until they owe you money . What's wrong? You don't like my pet name for you? It's an endearing term.

I'm the best person to tell you how to run your country, even though I actually didn't say anything about running the country. I spent most of my life in a country with a real healthcare system. Australia spends about 8% of its federal budget on healthcare and everything is 100% free. Hell, you get a check for 5k just for having a kid and if you have nobody to drive you home they'll give you cab fare. America spends what, 19% of its budget on healthcare and you get not a god damn thing.
And before you talk about the awful amount of tax we must pay, be aware that while a little higher than here, Australia is a very low taxed country, and the difference doesn't even come close to what employers and individuals are paying here for coverage.
And since I know what's coming next, I'll have my wife and children on the first 1 way back to Australia as soon as I can talk her into it. This used to be a great country, but the republicans sure took care of that. Land of opportunity my ass.

"Mayday" was you at your best. It's been kinda downhill since then.
