Ya'll bein' too nice to me. I'm gonna cry.

Sniff, Chas

Of course it guzzled gas at an astonishing rate.
As to the original equipment? Nobody consulted me before taking a scalpel to my junk, standard procedure in the '50s. I am wondering when my right wheel (knee) finally gives out, how much my co pay will be. Mebbe I'll check on the California Healthcare website, which has been up and running quite well, thank you very much. Don't think I'll actually qualify for much of a subsidy though but hey, the wife'll qualify for Medicare this August.
You are welcome Bob. It only cost us (tax payers) 359 million dollars to have California "website" created.

They were too busy keeping me alive at the time so apart from one molar it is all here. Trouble is after 82 years some of the bearings are badly worn - and painful. But I am still on the right side of the grass so shan't complain too much.

Oh, for the love of.....

"California has dedicated $359 million, while New York is spending $161 million. In Kentucky it's $100 million, and in Oregon the price tag is $50 million.

The president has pointed to Oregon, which has enrolled 56,000 people in Medicaid - to argue things are working. "That's 56,000 more Americans who now have health care," the president has said. "That doesn't depend on a website."

And it's a good thing, because Oregon's website doesn't work. The new Medicaid enrollments came through the mail. The state website has yet to enroll a single person."
