Snip far too common story.

It sucks Richard. Here's to hoping in November.

I notice the lack of outrage at the waste that I've told of. Maybe it
has something to do with who's getting the benefit of the waste.

Please check the lists of PAC for both sides. Makes no difference!

If you can explain why I shouldn't be disgusted with Medicaid dumping
a few thousand dollars for things I don't need and will just throw
them away, it might be interesting to hear. If there's anything
wrong with thinking that spending a few hundred dollars to keep her at
home instead of in a $1000 a day "facility" makes more sense, I'd like
to hear that too. While you're explaining, tell me why it makes any
sense at all to have two tanks, each 14 inches in diameter and roughly
40 inches tall, of LOX, slowly gassing off, now down to 80% and we
haven't drawn anything out of them, sitting on my porch and nobody has
bothered to show me how to use the damn things. I have no idea how
much they cost, but for them to sit there and just be waste is
criminal, and the tech that left them here is the criminal, or maybe
the guy that told him to leave them. I'm sorry this isn't water, it's
a highly dangerous substance to handle, and without someone showing me
how, I'm not going to touch it. If the people at Aire Liquide take
precautions, and they're professionals, there's no way I'm going to
touch it.

And it's not just MY dollars, it's YOUR dollars that are flowing to
the supplier for NOTHING of any use to me now.

Get back the county nurse, employed and paid by the county, and get
rid of the reaganized, *******ized and dehumanized corporate nurses
that we now have, watch the cost drop and services improve.

IF you can read the list of waste I've put there, and I'm only one of
thousands(?) Millions(?) and not get ****ed off, you're only a
republican.

And what you're saying is that I should watch someone rip the system
into bankruptcy and keep my mouth shut. That would be an admission of
total cowardice.

Please notice the phrase"both sides". That's the problem. Until we as
a country think less about right/left and more right/wrong business
will be as usual

Please read phrase "both sides". Until we as a nation decide that
right/wrong is better than right/left we will have problems. With
everything "middle men" and others have a piece of the pie. I don't
see either candidate or party living in single family dwellings that
cost less than their annual earnings nor see them at the clinic
waiting for their health care. Just pointing out that neither REPS or
DEMS can claim halos or wings on this. As to cowerdice, remember we
can do it or let the government do it for us. Your choice.
Oh, I agree with the good'ole days- 'cept I prefer penicillin to
castor oil.

Until you get the right wing to finally realize that letting business
have their way without any regulation is stupid, you will continue to
have waste such as I have described. There are limits on what my
daughter can order, apparently there are no limits on what a
corporation can decide, in their "infinite wisdom", that she needs.
Even though I don't have the apparatus that most of the crap they sent
goes with.

Someone, somewhere, sitting in a corporate office, decided that the
LOX was more "cost efficient", and I'm betting that it's more
efficient to them, and $445 a month for them, instead of what the 25
cu/ft tanks bring them. I don't have a bill for the concentrator yet,
but I'm willing to bet that they can be purchased for just about what
the monthly rent is going to be. If so, I might be $1500 poorer for
it, but I see no sense in paying someone the purchase price every
month, I'd rather buy two of them, one in use and the other in standby
until needed. The only problem is that the doctor works for the same
company that supplies them, and you have to have a prescription to buy
one. WHich is only one result of the ruin of raygun deciding that
business can be trusted. They have never been worthy of trust and
never will be.

There is a system to the republican side, if you disagree with
anything, such as would actually HELP people, remove all the supply
side controls, and bankrupt it as quickly as possible.

And the LOX tanks are down to 75%, we still haven't drawn anything
from them, and from the company, we get a deafening silence. While I
sit with two potential bombs on my front porch.

Oh, I agree with the good'ole days- 'cept I prefer penicillin to
castor oil.

Penicillin and cyanide have the same effect on me. Either one means I
die.
