Here I Go Again On My Own

Oh yes. It has been a while. But, what better time to get back into the swing of blogging than right at the moment when the US is about to go to hell in a hand basket?

I am a bit late on linking to this article. I find that what is happening to me is that I am too flabbergasted by the daily assault of DJT infantile, naive tweets intertwined with a hateful GOP agenda to know where to start.

Before I provide my Daily Read: 07JAN2017 link below, I would like to provide the following limited commentary on it...Well, shit. Where did I put that damn baby? Oh. Right. I chucked it right out with the bath water.

You may not like Obamacare (although, heaven forbid that we get on board with universal health care), but the bottom line is it has provided much to those with little. Rushing to delete it from the pages of history is reckless at best.
Although Republicans have been railing against Obamacare for the better part of six years, they haven’t come up with any concrete policy ideas to reshape our nation’s complicated insurance industry and prevent 20 million Americans from losing the health coverage they gained under Obamacare. GOP leaders have never been able to coalesce around a meaningful plan.
Instead, Republicans have suggested they’ll throw the insurance industry into chaos by repealing Obamacare now and figuring out how to replace it later. This strategy, dubbed “repeal and delay,” threatens to create widespread uncertainty in the industry as major insurers will be unclear where the country might be headed with its national health care policy.
