There's A Reason We're Not Hearing Much About ObamaCare Right Now
There's A Reason We're Not Hearing Much About ObamaCare Right Now
I "track" ObamaCare here. USA Today is reporting: the IRS will "cut" refunds in 2015 for those who lied about their income status when applying for ObamaCare and the subsidies.
And, remember, by executive order, most of the ObamaCare mandates were waived or delayed until 2015 or 2016.

It took two to five years for the DOE-backed "Solyndra" companies ("the list of 38") to go bankrupt. We will see the same thing with the "on-line exchanges." A lot of federal money will be provided these small, under-capitalized companies, but over time, they will run into financial difficulties, and gradually disappear. [September 16, 2014: CNBC is reporting -- exactly what happened in Minnesota.
PreferredOne, the insurer that sold nearly 60 percent of all private health plans on Minnesota's Obamacare exchange, on Tuesday said it would leave that marketplace. PreferredOne's plans were the lowest-cost options on that exchange, known as MNSure.
PreferredOne cited the costs of doing business on MNSure as the reason for its surprising decision, saying that selling plans is "not administratively and financially sustainable going forward." In other words: bankrupt.]
A Note to the Granddaughters
A little gem, it appears, prominently displayed over at Barnes and Noble: a glossy little bargain-priced book, first published in 1994, and most recent copyright in 2009 -- The Beatles: A Hard Day's Write: The Stories Behind Every Song, Steve Turner.
When I went to pay for it, the cashier said it was surprising to her how many of these little books had sold, and I think she was not just saying that. The stack of such books is generally quite high or quite deep, but in this case, there were only four (now three) left.
I mentioned to the cashier that this is exactly the kind of book one does not need: one can get all the information off the internet, and perhaps even more. But the cashier noted that there are some books that folks just enjoy having ... for whatever reason.
And it turns out it's a pretty good book.
The other book may or may not be as good. I was looking for a new "science" book but nothing jumped out at me. I happened to see "quantum theory" in the sub-title of a book, picked it up, and paged through out. My granddaughter and I are having a great time "exploring" the periodic table. So, I was thrilled to see a chapter titled, "Many Electron Atoms and the Periodic Table of Elements." Wow. And then, icing on the cake: "The Hydrogen Atom: Quantum Theory." One of my favorite physics books is Hydrogen: The Essential Element, John S. Rigden, c. 2003.
The book: Absolutely Small: How Quantum Theory Explains Our Everyday World, Michael D. Fayer, c. 2010. I don't care for the font or the "feel" of the book but the content seems very, very good. The publisher/publishing house explains the font/feel, I guess, something called Amacom: American Management Association.
One of the things that intrigues me about the book is that it was written by a scientist who seems interested in writing scholarly books (he is the author of Elements of Quantum Mechanics) and who has not become a pop-author writing about physics for monetary gain.
Speaking of books have you read the Little Muddy Boys yet?
ReplyDeleteYes, in fact, I have read it. It is on the coffee table right next to me, right now.
DeleteI am going through it a second time, underlining the parts of that I remember, or that remind me, of my own childhood in Williston.
I never had Helga for any class. If I had one "worry" at that time in my life, it was having Helga for a teacher. LOL. I was a regular at the Harmon Park Pool but never knew (until I read the book) that she was one of the managers of the pool.
Along that same line, there are very few people in "my" world who are known to me by only their first name (Elvis, Cher, Madonna) and that list includes Helga. Again, a quiet chuckle.
I did not know Coach Soine, but when last in Williston I asked Coach Amsden / Jim Leinen if they remembered Coach Soine; they did, but barely.
Borrud's Bakery was mentioned; I knew the bakery well, for many reasons.
I think the Muddy River Boys were about 12 years older than I was.
Finally, Chapter 13, Transitions, was particularly special. Chuck Wilder is mentioned in the "gratitudes."
Thank you for asking.
