Obamacare...a personal look.

Oct 25, 2009 - 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. - 4 Comments

Unappreciative Husband

Oct 12, 2009 - Wow, so I just found this website, and it seems like a fantastic idea!  So glad to be here! So, here's my dilemma, and it's a classic one, so I appologize if I'm posting something that gets asked too often.  My husband and I have two small children.  My husband works and I stay home to raise the kids.  It's rewarding, but by no means "fun" or easy!  My husband has a challenging job, but is very good at what he does and has become quite successful at his company.  He is brilliant, creative, and works very hard to get projects completed quickly and with innovative ideas.  I really can not put into words how proud I am of him, and tell him that (maybe too much.)  He comes from a family in which both of his parents worked full time, and had hired help around the house most of the time.  His mother "does not cook" so they always ate out, and they had a maid, nannies, etc.  I guess what I'm tying to say is that he grew up without ever seeing the challenges of a stay-at-home mom in a one-income family. When I became pregnant with our older child, it was a big surprise to us, as we were very young (both 23) and not at all prepared (mentally, financially, etc) to become parents.  We decided together that it would be best for me to stay at home with our child(ren) until they were in school.  My job would be to take care of the kids during the day, keep everyone fed, and keep the house up.  Sounds easy, right???  Again, I really was not prepared for this, and adjusting to motherhood has been challenging for me.  Although I would never let our home become dirty, there is rarely a day when it is not messy in some rooms, and although I really ty to stay on top of cooking 3 meals a day, it is REALLY a LOT of work!!!  I probably dont end up getting to making dinner more than 3 or 4 times a week.  I don't do the TV babysitter thing, so entertaining my children in an educational way every day really becomes tedious after a while.  I try to not complain to my husband because as tiring as it is and as boring as it can be, this is my choice, and I can change it at any time.  I even ty to thank him every so often for working hard and affording us the opportunity to have me be at home. - 3 Comments
