Dependency: The Democrats' reform bill had hardly become law before doctors and insurers began getting calls asking about free health care. The growing sense of entitlement is disheartening, to say the least.
'Where do we get the free ObamaCare, and how do I sign up for that?" That's what Carrie McLean, an agent for eHealthInsurance.com, told McClatchy newspapers she's been hearing from callers.
She said that the company's phone center has been "inundated by uninsured consumers who were hoping that the overhaul would translate into instant, affordable coverage."
The McClatchy reporter also talked to Sandra Preston, a state employee in Paterson, N.J., who seemed to be waiting impatiently for the federal takeover to fully kick in. "Why does it take so long for certain health care things to take effect?" she asked.
A day before the McClatchy story ran, the Financial Times reported that the "demand for free medicines in the U.S. has increased sharply following the 2008 economic crisis."
Rich Sagall, creator of NeedyMeds.org, a clearinghouse that helps patients find free medication, told the Times that he is "receiving 14,000 inquiries a day, up from 10,000 in late 2008."
This is happening at a time when "pharmaceutical companies say they have expanded donations through 'patient assistance programs' by typically 15% to 25%."
The United States was once a nation of proudly independent people. But now Americans in large numbers think they deserve free access to the Web, no-cost college educations, and jobs they don't deserve and can't be fired from. They believe others should be responsible for their mortgages and feel they have a right to early, cushy retirements at someone else's expense.

SNIPPET: “As the Obama-loving media continue their predictable victory lap following the passage of vastly unpopular healthcare reform, a state of mass confusion about how the bill impacts John and Jane Q. Public grips the nation.
“Questions reflecting confusion have flooded insurance companies, doctors’ offices, human resources departments and business groups,” wrote McClatchy’s Margaret Talev Tuesday.”

“Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine”
It’s my RIGHT! I don’t have to pay for it! YOU have to give it to me!!!
My favorite story was a woman who smoked, was overweight, and (admitted) drank 1 fifth of whiskey a week. She got her insulin free through one of the programs, but was always late turning in her portion of the paperwork - I couldn’t send off anything ‘till she brought in the papers that the drug company sent her.
Once, she tried to get me to pay for the insulin she had to buy.
And judging by the way they vote, they are turning out to be weapons of mass destruction.
I thought unicorns pooped skittles
Just got my 40 acres and a voucher for a Lexus.
Quit yer gripin'
That's only $20.00 a week, $4.00 a day and .50¢ an hour.
So go demand a raise from your boss today. And if doesn't give it to you, QUIT!
And tell him you're going to call Pelosi and Obama on him.
That'll teach him!
;-)
I’m my own boss. I am self employed.
As far as I know, I have not been diagnosed with schizophrenia, so I don’t think I’m going to be having conversations like that with my boss. : )~
Oooops.
*** As far as I know, I have not been diagnosed with schizophrenia, so I don’t think I’m going to be having conversations like that with my boss. : )~ ***
AH! ... As far as you 'know' you haven't been been diagnosed with schizophrenia.
See but that's the thing, if you are a schizo 'you' wouldn't know. The 'other you' would. So maybe 'you' already had that conversation 'with your boss', but 'you' just don't know it.
In any case, asking 'your boss' for a raise wouldn't hurt. ;-)
LOL!
I called Jim Costa and Dennis Cardoza’s offices (both voted for the medical industry takeover). I wanted to know when my premiums were going down by $2500 as promised by Obama. One office acted dumb... the other argued with me about how wonderful the new law was. It was like arguing with a tape recorder.
