Playing around.

I’ve looked at the way the site was lately and decided it need to be have a little better Design, but after playing around I’ve decided on this setup that im going to keep fooling with . It was originally a different theme that im editing to become more what i want for this site.

I’ve also added a few people that can activly post if they feel like, when i came up with this site in mind I never really thought of this site for myself. Sure i can use it for my own but whats the fun in that? but one person has posted, as im slowly working through things. this site should look a bit more and more a shape of its own. for awhile i was using the default settings just to see how it would handle, I used to have my own subdomain on a friends site. the thing was is the host kept changing options and I’d keep having to fix things as they changed there setup.

From what i used to have a site I’d completely write it in this same format using HTML, What a pain that was. So now that i have my own site I can use whatever format I want and due to the condition I have I’d rather not code entirely each post. as far as this is getting i still need to learn how to add certain things.

hopefully this new setup is a bit easier to read 🙂

“new” medicare

In the USA a new “program” has taken hold to replace an older one that was not broke but .. Our president George W. said it was broken and this program would run outta money soon. Well
in planetary terms maybe.. in terms of a large tree maybe.. in terms of our solar system maybe.

the *new* medicare Plan (D) .. is suppose to make perscription drugs cheaper.

Anyways this *new* program was suppose to make thing cheaper for the persons on this Program … indeed if you scratch the surface of this program. It looks like your saving something but the savings only come at a cost.. You have to be healthy.

as in no problems no colds no nothing. Once you are sick your cost start to go up. and certian medications are not covered.
So Initailly what i used to pay was 80$ month for medicare. now i pay 54$ a month for it. but heres where they get you. before there were no Co-Pays. co-pays are basicly where they charge you a small amount of cover the cost of there programs.

But heres where people get screwed by this new program
say you are paying 70$ for this new medicare , and you have 5perscriptions a month . now the copay on each drug can vary .. so depending on things you could pay 5 dollars saving you 5 dollars or the likely which you would pay 15$ which your over the original plans 70$ .. and also that doesnt cover the doctors appointments and such where you’d just go right over the old value .. ALSO… there is a chance by the new plan, one of those perscriptions is not covered where it used to so say you would have to pay anywhere from 40$ to 200$+ on a perscription that used to becovered
and also , the horrible thign i’ve noticed is these newer drug plans, is you have to pay out of pocket where before this Plan was deducted from your check from ssay retirement or whatever you maybe on so what happens to all the old people and young people for that matter that have things on there mind and they forget to pay because it was automated before, the US gov had also gone out on a PR campaign saying this was the best thing since sliced bread showing docters and reporters and citizens saying this was good what the US gov forgot to mention was..
ALL people in this commercails were ACTORS. and In no way did they go out of the way to say they were actors.. so WTF..
THis new GOV health care thing is a joke.. =(
