John McCain chose quality over quanity (UPDATE)

Senator John McCain has chosen to end medical treatment for his aggressive brain tumor. That is a personal and difficult choice. Mr. McCain has strong faith. Pray for him, his family, and friends. If you do not pray please keep him in your positive thoughts.

I pray for him. I heard something, I can't remember from where. It is appropriate.  May he journey well, at this ending time of his life. He served his country well. He is and has always been a hero to me.

UPDATE-- Senator John McCain has died. See the last link.

The "Skinny Repeal" would have hurt the American people the most

The Democrats and three Republicans did not kill the "Skinny Repeal" of the Obama care act.  Arrogance and a close minded  attitude killed it. No body but the Chief Bully and Crybaby with his acolytes know what is right for the American people according to them. I am referring to the socially acceptable due to their monetary influence. The rest of us can go to hell because they never figure us in on their decisions except to get rid of us.

One part of this "Skinny Repeal" got to me. Big companies with  more than 50 people would not have to provide health insurance. Without the law, I know of too many companies that would not give insurances to their employees. Educated people talk loudly when they go to dinner. Their money I guess is supposed to create a sound barrier. (It does not and poor people share information.) They toast the Chief Bully and Crybaby for helping them not spend money.

If they truly wanted to help, they should have done one thing first. Let the insurances that had $5,000, $10,000 or more deductible come back. They were cheap and affordable. One trip to the E.R. ate that deductible. Let you in on a secret, all insurances leave a person owing a bill. There were cheap HMO's and PPO's.  Let people have a choice to choose them over Obama care. Keep this for 10 years before looking to change. Remember people change slowly and accept change even slower. Heel's were dug in because the Republicans tried to cram their decision down Americans throat.
