Before the Affordable Care Act came to pass almost fifty million Americans were uninsured. Now that the Supreme Court has upheld President Obama's signature health care law … 26 million Americans will remain uninsured. But how many more millions of Americans can barely afford the coverage they now have?
Depending on your personal outlook on life … the glass is half full or half empty. But who wants a sip? Where I live it is unimaginable that people can’t afford health coverage. it is unthinkable that a person can’t get health care.

Prairie2: Fungus is predictable, it grows from rotten things
Markets Crash as the Obamacare Tax Increase is Approved by the Liberal Court, this was the screaming headline on the so-called news from the right. The markets did take a big plunge before clawing back, but it probably had to do with it leaking out that JP Morgan’s losses aren’t $2 billion as reported. Current internal estimates put the losses at $9 billion, and there’s no guarantee that is even close to the actual size of this cash hemorrhage.
When we say “too big to fail“, that’s not what we mean exactly.
Black Box Voting: Colorado Supreme Court Decision Assures That Ballots Remain Public Records
The Colorado Supreme Court's decision has reaffirmed that election ballots are open public records. As a result, the public will be able to verify that untraceable votes are accurately interpreted and counted. This decision comes as election officials are preparing for the 2012 presidential election.
In September, 2011, the Colorado Appeals Court ruled that ballots are indeed open public records. The City filed requested that the Colorado Supreme Court reverse the decision. The Supreme Court has now decided not to hear the Koch v. Marks case. The Court chose to end the controversy in favor of election transparency.
Barclays Execs Get No Criminal Charges for International Manipulation of Interest Rates, But You Can Go to Jail for Smoking Pot
Okay, so the Associated Press (AP) just reported that "Barclays and its subsidiaries have agreed to pay more than $450 million to settle charges that it tried to manipulate key global interest rates."
That might seem like a lot of money, but remember that this is basically the shareholders of the bank footing the bill for criminal actions of the bank officers. According to the AP:
- The rates affect the costs of hundreds of trillions of dollars in loans and investments such as bonds, auto loans and derivatives.
- The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission said Wednesday that the incidents occurred between 2005 and 2009 and sometimes took place daily.
- The CFTC said Barclays senior management and multiple traders were involved and that they coordinated with traders at other banks to make false submissions.
Black Box Voting Releases Into The Wild - Problematic 'Accenture' Voter List Software
I have found and posted the actual voter list software used widely throughout the USA (TN, WI, PA, CO, KS...) for Accenture voter registration and voter histories. I located the files on a magnetic backup tape of the hard drive of a county elections IT employee, part of a 120-gig set of discovery files.
The Accenture voter registration / voter history software is highly problematic, and has been reported switching voter parties in Colorado, and losing voter histories in Tennessee.
Prairie2: Who owns who, and other tunes that your horse, or your politician can dance to
This is the last day of spring, or - in the new Global Warming reality - the end of the “First Summer”, the “Third Summer” will be here in three months. The traditional or “Second Summer” could just be shortened to “Hell”.
New farming methods may become necessary, -maple syrup production in Wisconsin was cut by 2/3 this year because winter ended so abruptly. A hard frost killed almost all the fruit crops across the midwest because everything bloomed a month too early. In this new reality it doesn’t matter that the mechanical corn planters spray a highly effective nano-particle insecticide on the seeds and this is now know conclusively to be killing all the honey bees. The bees aren’t really needed, they’re as obsolete as unionized teachers, firefighters and bridge inspectors.
Impeach The United States Government
That’s right. Impeach em. Cease em. Adios. Go away. We could certainly do better than this.
You know that old story, the one of building upon foundations? Well, it goes like if you build on a bad foundation you won’t last. But if you build on a good foundation it will weather the test of time.
