Obamacare...a personal look.
I am going to give you my personal look at Obamacare from a perspective which may seem a bit strange but in reality it should be alarming. The interesting thing is that most of all of my childhood I went without even some of the basic things people assume most everyone has. The only healthcare I had as a child was Medi-cal...which is the program upon which Obamacare was designed.
My father worked several part-time jobs as well as his full-time job as a Baptist minister. He did everything possible to provide for us, worked his fingers to the bone and still managed to comfort the people in our church and help them deal with their own problems. Not once did any congregation we served bother to possibly consider that making sure the minister and his family had any healthcare or even some of the basic necessities in life was one of their priorities. They did however call at any time of the day or night for his help and he was there for them.
Sometimes our whole family was there for them. I was a very experienced babysitter, cook, and housekeeper before I was even 11. This is not bitterness I speak from---it is my attempt at revealing to you that many who are among the uninsured are hardworking people often working in service-oriented positions which simply aren't offered healthcare.
So....let me get back to Medi-cal......the mentor of Obamacare. When I hear people on the Obamacare bandwagon I think they probably don't really understand what they are supporting. Many have never been on medi-cal.

I haven't seen any posts in ths area for quite some time so I hope no one will mind my notes on a recent tasting. I had the opportunity recently to taste a few of the many good bottles from the 80's and the results were delicious. I tasted an 83 Boyd Cantenac and Prieure Lichine both from Margaux, an 82 Lanessan from the haut medoc and finally an 85 Lynch Bages which is a Pauillac. The bottles had been stored reasonably well and the fills were very good, although the two Margaux had corks which were almost wet to the top and crumbled. Having just found a bottle from 1998 which was leaking in a case of my own, there can be no better advice than to constantly monitor your wines, especially if they are still in a wooden case. While 82 Bordeaux put Robert Parker on the map (he declared it the wine of the century) and subsequently led the way to his favorable word on any review raising the price of wine, it was fun looking back and seeing what these were all about. Though fortuitously donated by another cellar, I was looking forward to tasting mature wines I had never been able to experience when they were young. Each was carefully standing upright for 4 days and then decanted carefully one hour before serving.Arabs tackle free speech taboo
