Mattress Answer Man Speaks

After yesterday how can any person in good faith vote for a republican. Maybe they should quit listening and start researching. Yesterday the senate republicans almost in mass voted for rape. Yes they voted for rape. While they stand and give speeches on how the new health care plan will fund abortions because it doesn’t say no payments for abortion even though that is already in law. These great two faced gentlemen voted against an amendment not to give any defense contractor money if they didn’t allow women to go to court after being raped by putting a clause in their contract preventing it. It’s ok to play the anti democrat game the other side plays the anti republican g... Read More

AP: The Republican Budget Would “End Medicare As It Is Presently Known.” “For their part, House Republicans are offering an alternative that eventually would end Medicare as it is presently known.” [AP, 4/1/09]The GOP Budget Would Gut Medicare And Replace The Benefit With A Reduced Health Care Subsidy. According to the AP, “On Medicare, workers under the age of 55 would enroll in private plans and receive premium subsidies equal to the average Medicare benefit when they retire. Benefits would not be changed for people in the program or people 55 or older.” According to Rep. Paul Ryan, “We preserve the existing Medicare program for all those 55 or old... Read More

Today was not my best day. Unfortunately I had to spend it at the services and burial of a great man that few knew. In reality I know his wife better than I knew him. I was once a salesman then a manager at Sleepys.  For those of you not in a state north of Virginia on the east coast (and only on the eastern side of some of these states)  Sleepys is the largest singly owned mattress chain. When I started at Sleepys Harold Lorber and his wife Willie were already there. After a short while I was asked to take Willie’s store as the manager, these were at the time generally one person stores, displacing her  and she was asked to float between stores. Harold showed one of his best traits... Read More

We are now on page 8 of the patients health care choice bill. A bill that according to those that wrote it will cost  600 billion dollars which is a savings of only 30 billion a year and really doesn’t pay for itself while decreasing coverage for the poor and giving a tax break to the rich. It also damages the Chip program by integrating the poor children into the adults plan. They say that in addition to giving a tax break they will provide enough money to buy a private plan that best suites their needs.(I am ugly and the plan should cover elective plastic surgery. Will they cover this or will they choose which plan you can receive by limiting the amount they will pay? The last time ... Read More

Yesterday I covered the myth of choice in the way health care is administered today. Today I will try and cover the Republican plan called the” Patients Choice Act”. It really should be titled “How to Make Nothing Sound Like Something.“ The very first thing this bill would do to keep government out of health care is to set up a committee (like home land security) to coordinate between the governments health agency’s. This should save money by eliminating duplication of effort. This is to help with changing the American lifestyle and have us eat better,exercise more and quit smoking. (I wonder if they will pay for this with tobacco taxes?) This group will submit... Read More

Some of the information in this article came from 2000 which is very important to the discussion today. The first thing you will notice is that for the next eight years this problem while still growing was ignored by the government. You will also notice that the very things the Republicans are telling us to do were shown not to work in the report they had compiled. These are the same group of politicians that are considered the party better at national defense. Before I go into the main purpose of this I would like to digress to a short article in the Air Force Times that shows a side of this discussion that has been ignored. Today the Republicans offered their health plan. Waiting until the... Read More
