Citizen's Advisory

Readers who can see the spirit world are probably aware that, for some individuals, life is an invisible rodeo. Having had no health coverage for the past eleven years, certain continuing health problems have accrued from the illusory bull riding and metaphysical goring incidents, incurred over that hystrionic and impressionistic span of time. As a life long voting democrat buckaroo, I jangled my spurs in favor of the incumbent president. A gut feeling says he needed his first term in office to learn how to be president.  I feel confident he will win the upcoming election, and see good things coming in his second term. But as a disgruntled tarot reader, I got a bone to pick with Obamacare. Pull up a cuspidor and have a listen.


Obamacare is smoke and mirrors placed in front of the practice of socialized medicine. Call it what it is, and drop the despicable, un-American penalty for not buying health insurance. If it was possible to provide the US with the service through free market methodologies, it would be a better option than mishandled socialism.   Obama seems to be paliating the medical establishment.   The President is using a punitive, austere, compartmentalized  form of socialism to deal with the cripping cost of health care. The Canadians don't do that. And they've been making American health care look barbaric since the disco era. Imposing a cash penalty fo noncompliance is a coercive business practice that could lead to an economy predicated on things you are forced to buy. It's dystopian, for chrisake.

The economy is far to complex to deal with in terms of socialism or capitalism. Or with ordinary common sense. Everything these days seems to be some sort of fuming, corrupt,innefficient, beaurocratic crazy train. Hence a divinitory process. The  card I pulled a moment ago from the Rider-Waite deck, always reliable, was the Page of Cups, which can only mean Obamare needs to be reformed, to a more humane approximation of the socialized medicine so many other countries already have. Drop the penalty for noncompliance. Just get us health care we can afford.
