I feel like ranting, and its my blog, so there

I just feel like ranting. I have been so worried. I finally got my ear surgery, on my left ear. Im working again, Im a waitress. My job is actually up in the air, but thats another story. What I want to rant about , is the homeless and mentally ill. I work overnight, cant say the name of where I work, I could get in trouble for that. It doesnt matter, Im a waitress, in an area with a lot of homeless, mentally ill, and people addicted to drugs. A lot of them wonder into my work wanting help, or fishing for something free, which i find understandable. People say "Why dont they get a job!" They tell me I work hard for my money , and lets face it, I can barely pay my bills. COME ON PEOPLE! This is America, and with internet, cable, and the media, you people should be so much better informed about our homeless. The majority are mentally ill, have no family, and the government has just put them out on their own, more than likely because of the insurance crisis. They have no recourse or should I say "resource" but to beg , borrow , and steal. What else can they do? Do you have an answer? I don't. Unless our Government does something for the mentally ill, homeless people, it will never end. The next time you run into someone, who is definately homeless and mentally ill. It will be obviouse, believe me. Give'm a couple bucks. The price of a cup of coffee, can brighten their day. Im not saying endanger yourself. After all, they are mentally ill. You have to be carefull. But have a heart, they cannot help the situation they are in, and have swept under the rug, by our government. And thats all I have to say about that.

an Email from the white house

This is an email from the white house, you can get these just for signing up, I was going to unsubscribe, but then I read this, and I soooo need health insurance. This I think would be a wonderful thing. I could get my back fixed, and my husband couldn't finally have a good doctor to treat his CHF. Though I really don't believe it will happen, it could.

Dear Friend,

As you read this, we are closer than ever to passing comprehensive health insurance reform that benefits American families and small businesses. Despite all the back and forth in the news right now, it is important to understand just how far we've come in this challenging process.

That's why I'm holding a press conference tonight at 8pm ET, and writing to let everyone know where we are, what's ahead, and why health insurance reform is so important.

Let me be clear: although Congress is still debating parts of the legislation we have achieved critical consensus on several key areas:


If you already have health insurance: reform will provide you with more security and stability. It will limit your own out of pocket costs and prevent your insurance company from dropping your coverage if you get too sick. You'll also have affordable insurance options if you lose or change your job. And it will cover preventive care like check-ups and mammograms that save lives and money.

If you don't have health insurance: you will finally have guaranteed access to quality, affordable health care, and you can choose the plan that best suits your family's needs. And no insurance company will be allowed to deny you coverage because of a pre-existing medical condition.


Now, I realize that the last few miles of any race are the hardest to run, but we can't stop now. There's no dispute about it: we cannot control our long-term fiscal health as a nation without health insurance reform. American families and small businesses understand that the health insurance status quo is taking away those things that they value most about health care. The stability and security that comes with knowing that you can get the treatment you need, when you need it. Without reform, we are consigning our children to a future of skyrocketing premiums and crushing deficits.

We have to seize this opportunity and pass health insurance reform this year. You can help by forwarding this email to your family and friends and letting them know what's at stake in this debate.

Thank you,
Barack Obama

P.S. Tune in to tonight's press conference on health insurance reform at 8pm ET on WhiteHouse.gov.
