			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Omaha World Herald failed to identify Mrs. Jane Kleeb in their article about the Lincoln protest against the tanning tax implemented today as part of the dreadful Obamacare regulations.</p>
<p>Remember, this was the added revenue from Obamacare instead of taxing plastic surgery or botox shots, so Queen Nancy would not have to pay.</p>
<p>Jane Kleeb, for those who do not know, is the head of the SEIU in Nebraska. </p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">(Editor Note: I have been informed that she was an official with SEIU, not the head. Makes little difference &#8211; she was still not identified as to her affiliations.) </font> </p>
<p>She is also fighting behind the scenes to be named the head of the Nebraska Democratic Party after the election. She is not well regarded in her own party, as she is very abrasive. Her husband is the notorious Scott Kleeb, of he who cannot win a statewide election. </p>
<p>Here is the excerpt from the Omaha World Herald with the lines before and after, in order to frame the paragraph in context:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Heineman and former congressman and Omaha Mayor Hal Daub also said the new tax, and the other new taxes in the health-care law, would hurt small businesses and prompt workers to lose jobs.</em></p>
<p>A supporter of the health care reforms at the rally, <strong>Jane Kleeb</strong>, criticized Heineman, saying it was &quot;reckless&quot; to speak in support of an industry that some have linked to skin cancer and disputed that small businesses would be hurt by the health care reforms. She said they will receive a 35-percent  tax break to help them provide health insurance to employees.</p>
<p>Kleeb  also said voters should ask Heineman if he will serve his four-year term if re-elected in November. </p>
<p><em>A Heineman spokesman said his appearance at the tan tax rally was not an indication that he planned to  challenge Nelson. In the past, Heineman has declined to sign a pledge that he would serve all four years if re-elected and has said he is not actively pursuing a Senate bid. But he also has said that you can &quot;never  say never&quot; in politics.</em></p>
</blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Barack Obama is attempting to rekindle the health care reform he is proposing by now inviting Republicans to a televised meeting.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled.</p>
<p>This is all just political wrangling, in an attempt to embarrass the Republicans to back Barack&#8217;s plan through peer pressure. The idea is if the media can raise the ire of folks against Republicans blocking the health care bill, they will be forced to sign it and give Barack most, if not all, of what he wants.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, some poor sap Republican or two will fall for this trick. Most likely, it will be led by John McCain. It is poor decisions like McCain&#8217;s that got us into this mess in the first place. McCain supported all the proposed bailouts by Obama, and probably will back &#8216;Stimulus 2&#8242; or whatever stupid acronym Pelosi slaps on the thing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Look, there can be no health care reform until the cost of real health care is addressed. Why limit/address insurance if we solve the problem of the costs of the procedures and medicines in the first place?</p>
<p>
<p>That means Tort Reform, which the trial lawyers backing the Democrats do not want to address. It is easier to treat the effect, in this case the high cost of health insurance, than the cause, which is the frivolous and overwhelming lawsuits being filed each and every day against the health care provider. Obama does not want to address that, as people like his good buddy John Edwards got rich with pulling stunts like &#8216;channeling the victim&#8217; and other courtroom theatrics.&nbsp; </p>
</p>
<p>So, don&#8217;t be fooled. All Obama wants to do is control more of the economy under the thumb of the government, where he believes he and his cronies would make better decisions than the American people.</p>
<p>We already made a poor decision electing this man, we don&#8217;t need to keep proving his point. </p>
<p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have not posted recently for many reasons, not the least of which was the death of my 2 year old godson, Jason Lee Johnson, from meningitis.</p>
<p>His death was most likely the result of a misdiagnosis in the hospital&#8217;s &#8216;triage&#8217; room, where they just thought he had a fever when, in fact, he was in the early stages of meningitis. That delayed him over 12 hours from getting the critical care and attention he really needed.</p>
<p>When Obamacare gets passed, this is the scenario you will see duplicated around the country, and that is why I must speak up about it. Honestly, it is no fault of the Triage people in the emergency room. First, it is most often a nurse doing the diagnosis. She is making her best guess as per the symptoms described by the patient or the patient&#8217;s friends or family. When we were at the hospital with Jason, there were at least two other people waiting to be seen in triage while Jason was back in the ER already through that process. It isn&#8217;t until you get back into the ER until the physician on duty can see you, and then can get ahold of the specialist on call.</p>
<p>But, let&#8217;s add something else to this scenario. Multiply the numbers waiting by a good factor. Don&#8217;t increase the pay or numbers of the staff, and in fact limit how much they can charge if the patients going through the Triage process are on Medicaid.&nbsp; What do you have? Chaos. You also have an environment where many, many more mistakes in the initial diagnosis will occur. Even in a non-busy time, something may slip through like little Jason&#8217;s conditions when he was seen in the morning vs 8 pm at night.</p>
<p>How is this improving our health care?</p>
<p>If you want a more visual proof of what I&#8217;m talking about, go on YouTube and search for &#8216;Steven Crowder Canada&#8217;. PJTV&#8217;s Crowder went up to Canada to show exactly what the true health care system is up there. It not only is not pretty, but confirms what I am talking about in this post.</p>
<p>This is why Obamacare must be stopped, because in the end it will cause much more harm than good. </p>
