Medicare and gays and social security

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - California's Supreme Court declared gay couples in the nation's biggest state can marry

Can someone tell me why I should care??? If this is a sin, then the sinner will be judged by God, not by me. And given that marriage is good for the stability of the state, from a pure secular view a married gay is a plus when compared to an unmarried heterosexual couple.

And before you get too worked up over the sin thing you might want to check out what the Bible has to say about adultery.....

And while we are at it, will someone tell me why it is okay for an employer to pay for health insurance for an employee, but not okay for the government??

In both cases the patient is directed to a "network" of people approved by the "authorities," and you aren't going to see a "specialist" until the gate keeper opens the door.

As for the so-called "personal relationship," get serious. I have a primary care physician and she does a good job. It only takes about a week to get to see her, and if you actually need a doctor NOW, then the answer is the emergency room or a Convenient Care center.

Let's face it, chums. The issue is cost. Those of you having employer paid insurance are concerned that you will lose it and that your taxes will go up to cover "everyone."

And that's an understandable concern. But think of this. As of now the employer is using the health insurance payment to reduce their taxes. Guess where the tax money is actually coming from....

Don't tax you. Don't tax me. Tax that fellow behind the tree. - Sen. Russel Long, Dem Texas

We can't all hide behind the tree.

And did I tell you my "free Medicare" is costing me about $12,000 a year?? So yeah, I have a dog in the fight.

And can I tell you that Social Security is a terrible deal? Well, it is. First they tax your money before they take it and then they tax it, if you aren't almost on welfare, when you get it back.

The most notable excuse is that Social Security is "insurance" and not a retirement plan. Okay fine. Take the insurance out and keep it on the side. We can do two things at the same time you know....

Which reminds me of the Left's excuse that we can't fight in Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time.

Thank God they weren't around during WWII.
