I have been trying to understand just what it is that you signed that is supposed to be for the good of the American People.

Ummm… with all due respect, sir, I resent it.

Now, I’m only speaking for myself here, but you can be sure there are a lot of people like me out here in the real world outside the Oval Office.

I don’t visit doctors’ offices. I take care of myself. Therefore, I don’t do prescriptions. The strongest drug I take is aspirin. I think I can afford that without having to fall back on insurance.

My “preventive medicine” is good ol’ common sense, along with a healthy lifestyle. I’m quite capable of taking care of the occasional sniffle without running to ER.

I don’t visit dentists. I got rid of that problem several years ago. My $5,000 teeth are holding up splendidly, thank you.

So you see, I don’t need your insurance. I certainly don’t need you and the rest of the Government Gang to tell me what I need for my health when, in reality, you don’t know.

I have a few years on you (8 1/2 to be almost exact) and for you to say you know what’s good for me in this respect is really hard to swallow – especially when it will cost me money that would be better spent on things that will actually help me stay healthy, like healthy food, vitamins, supplements, and seeds for my garden.

You are in effect telling me that I have to instead spend that money on insurance. So I won’t have it for healthy food, vitamins, supplements, and seeds. So I will end up going to the doctor and getting pumped full of drugs that, if they don’t kill me, will cause other health issues and/or dull my mind. I’ve experienced all three of these effects on friends and acquaintances throughout the years. It’s ugly.

The medical profession, big pharma, and the insurance racket have been allowed to run amok. They have become money-grubbing industries who really don’t care about keeping America healthy. Their concerns are bleeding people’s bank accounts and doping America’s brain cells.

Now I have to pay because the whole medical-pharma-insurance scam has grown out of control??? Now I am being ordered to have insurance coverage???

Yes sir, I resent it. I resent you telling me that My Right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is Null and Void. Because that’s what you have said by signing this Health Care Fiasco.

I get the Abraham Hicks Daily Quote in my inbox every day. This is the one that came for today:

“Complaining about anything, holds you in the place of refusing to receive the things you’ve been asking for. Justifying about anything holds you in the place of refusing to let in the very things that you’ve been asking for. Blaming someone, holds you in the place of refusing to let in the things that you’ve been asking for. Feeling guilty, feeling angry, it doesn’t matter what you call it, it is a refusal, not a conscious one. You’re asking; you can’t help but ask. The Universe is yielding; it must yield. It’s a big question, folks: why aren’t you letting it in?

— Abraham”

Now I don’t do New Year’s resolutions, but I do set goals each year. One of my goals this year is to banish negativity from my life. Pretty hefty goal, but I’m of the belief that it’s better to aim high.

This quote couldn’t have come at a better time :-) I’ve printed it and it’s now by my bed (where I’ll see it before I go to sleep and first thing when I wake up), front and center on the hutch on this computer desk, and on the fridge.

It’ll serve as a reminder to quit wasting precious time and energy on non-productive attitude and instead rev up the positive.
