Payday loans can help your credit

More kids will get health insurance thanks to a new bill.

More kids will get health insurance thanks to a new bill.

Responsible borrowers only use payday loans for absolute necessities, and what is more essential than medical care? Sure, it’s easy to ignore those bills when they come in the mail, but take it from me, those bills will be turned over to a collections agency and your credit score will plummet real fast.

Health insurance for kids

However, thanks to a bill that President Barack Obama intends to sign today, fewer families will be needing payday loans to make sure their medical bills don’t end up being black marks on their credit reports. The bill extends children’s health insurance and “will enable states to cover more than 4 million uninsured children by 2013,” according to the New York Times.

Who gets health insurance help

The House gave the bill final approval today in a vote of 290 to 135. The program helps families who earn too much to qualify for Medicaid but still can’t afford private health insurance.

Future plans for health care

MIchael Moore advocated for universal health care in his movie Sicko.

Obama said today that he hopes this bill is the first step toward guaranteeing all Americans health coverage. Republicans, of course, are throwing around the word “socialism” like a hot potato. It will probably be quite some time before Obama’s health care dreams are realized, but until then payday loans are there to help when the government can’t.

    Health care is amongst the biggest travesties of the last ten years. There is no reason why we can’t get all of America covered – and without socializing the industry. Companies have a right to make a profit, but jeopardizing the health of the citizenry for the sake of making money off of us with higher premiums and a pay or die scheme is nothing we the American people should have to take, and that isn’t even touching the prescription drug issue.

    I AM SO ANGRY!

    Tom Daschle, and Nancy Killefer are two of the finest, and most competent public servants you could possibly hope for in these appointments. They have been assassinated by the Washington healthcare lobby through their paid Bush Republican henchmen in congress. These Bush republicans are the same people blocking the economic recovery plan put forth by the Obama administration.

    I am BURNING MAD America. And you should be too. Tome Daschle and Nancy Killefer were exactly what we needed to help turn this country around and fix our economy, and catastrophic healthcare crisis.

    If I were their boss I would tell them to get right back to Washington. And dare congress to not approve them. How ridiculous is it to reject highly qualified people that this country needs just because they made a mistake on their taxes. Don’t stand for that anymore America. They apologized, and paid their taxes, and that should be it. Their country needs them. But President Obama has to do what he thinks is best. I understand that. I’M JUST SO MAD at the anti American Bush Republicans.

    Like many of you I have been trying to enjoy the after glow of this Beautiful historic election. But I see that the republicans in congress and their cohorts aren’t going to be good sports, and LOSER’S!

    SO BE IT!

    In spite of President Obama’s repeated offers, and gestures of collegiality to Republicans. Bush Republicans have seized upon every opportunity to stab President Obama in the back. And by doing so they are stabbing you, and the rest of the American people in the back. Well, you don’t have to put up with that. And you shouldn’t put up with that. President Obama has only been on the job two weeks. And he inherited two wars, and the worst economy since the great depression.

    We had an election. And president Obama, and the democrats won BIG. And Bush Republicans lost miserably!

    The Bush Republicans are the ones responsible for the worst economic crisis since the great depression. And the Bush Republicans are responsible for the worst healthcare crisis in American history. A healthcare crisis that is killing hundreds of thousands of you every year. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Insured, and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies.

    President Obama, and the Democrats should take back all the concessions they granted the Bush Republicans, and tell them to put up! or shut up!

    Everyone, start calling and contacting these Bush Republicans and tell them to stop blocking President Obama, and the Democrats recovery plan. And stop trying to block, and corrupt healthcare reform. Tell them to get on board with President Obama and the Democrats, or GET OUT!!

    If these Bush Republicans refuse to cooperate I want all of you to immediately begin the process of removing them from office by every legal means possible. Including impeachment, and recall. I want you to bring the full weight and power of the movement down on their heads that swept President Obama, and the Democrats into control of the whitehouse, and congress. Take no prisoners. Use all the techniques you learned over this past historic election. Be flexible, creative, adaptable, and relentless like you were in the past.

    To my cyber warriors I call on you again. You are among the best and the brightest. I call on you to move this fight from the cyber world to the living rooms, dens, and work places of the voters these Bush Republicans misrepresent. I know I can count on you. This is a fight worth fighting.

    To my fellow World citizens. As an American I invite, and welcome you and your advise, input, and help. By delaying Americas recovery, and healthcare reform, these Bush Republicans are delaying our commitment to your recovery, and to being the better America for you that we aspire too.

    I had hoped it would not come to this after our historic election. I had hoped that the Bush Republicans would respect the overpowering will of the people, and the World. But I guess not. All the Bush Republicans really care about is them-selves. Well, SO BE IT! Lets finish the job.

    Sincerely

    jacksmith — Working Class :-)

    I’m totally on the same page you are, Jacksmith. I don’t understand how insensitive some of these government officials are. With the slow flow of the economy, I would think they would be more understanding. Times are rough and it’s only getting worse. Having medical coverage is absolutely crucial. Just because some people make a decent income doesn’t mean they are not in need of help and a little financial relief from time to time.

    I just watched “Sicko” for the first time today, and am wondering how much it would cost me to move to Canada, France or The United Kingdom. America is a joke and all of the people that have the power are doing nothing but balancing their check books.
