Fixing Health Care
Obama is planning to screw up our health care system. I have a better idea…
All we have to do to fix the current health care system is to eliminate insurance for intangibles. You can insure a car, a house etc… but not intangibles such as health.
So just drop all health insurance. Make people shop for and pay for their own services. Implement an optional tax free savings vehicle for medical expenses with a special visa card that can be used only for medical related expenses. Any help for the less fortunate would come via contributions to those medical accounts and could be made by any individual, business or non-profit with all contributions tax deductible. If a state wishes to implement a health-care program for these people, then they can do so via funding the same account.
This would introduce competition into the medical services sector which would drive down prices and give individuals the maximum choice in who will provide their services. It also limits government intervention to providing tax breaks, though it does require one additional regulation limiting insurance to tangible items.
A very simple answer to a currently complex problem.
Excalibur is bringing back to live poker!
Well, that didn’t last long. Excalibur has called up their layed off dealers and offered them their jobs back. Apparently the tables may be moved to another casino, but no details are known yet. I gave them a try last year and found them to be no where near as satisfying as a real game.
Chickenfoot is alive!
For those who missed it, the supergroup staring Sammy Hagar, Michael Antony, Chad Smith and Joe FRICK’N Satriani is now officially touring and their first (and hopefully not only) album is out.
I’m absolutely going to try to make their Lake Tahoe show in September.
I heard this group before they were officially a group at the Sammy Hagar concert here in Vegas a couple years ago and they were outstanding. I love me some Sammy and mix in some old-school Van Halen, some Chili Peppers and a Satriani, and you have yourself some excellent high energy hard rock.
State by State election breakdown
This is a really cool site. It does a state by state breakdown of the election results for every election in our nation’s history. Very very cool. I didn’t realize how popular Nixon was. His landslide was bigger than Regan’s reelection landslide, at least in number of states… interesting how someone so popular could be so bad… history repeating?
Gilley's is coming back!
This is a great article on the changes that Phil Ruffin is bringing to his newly acquired Treasure Island casino. He is exactly what this town needs right now.
Lovin me a cupcake
Apparently, I’ve had cupcake available to install on my Android phone (TMobile G1) for a bit now. I’ve been getting a bit frustrated because my wife has had hers for a week or so already and mine was nowhere to be found.
However, I decided to prompt the system to check for an update using the Settings | About Phone menu and guess what, there it was waiting for me to download. Why hadn’t TMobile notified me? I think I know the answer.
I hit the download button and up popped the progress bar… but nothing happened. Tried again… no luck. It says the file is 32MB and I know I’m tight on app space, but they can’t honestly expect to download this into app space, could they? They must use the SD card or the OS partition… right?
Nope. Apparently they use app space to store the downloaded update. After I opened up 40MB of space in my app space and returned to check for updates, it downloaded on the second try. As soon as the update was downloaded, I received the standard update notification that you would receive had TMobile sent the file to me directly.
So, apparently, if you haven’t received your cupcake update, you might want to free up some app space memory. About 40MB should do. You can always reinstall your apps after the update. And that’s what I’m off to do right now.
TMobile Hates Me
My wife has had the Cupcake release on her G1 for a few days now and still nothing for me… I’m beginning to think that TMobile hates me.This will change the internet world.
Dammit. This was my idea like 3 years ago. Now Google has gone and implemented it… and way better than I would have I’m sure.
I’m very excited about this. It will change the way we view the web.
Greatest web advertisement ever.
My wife and I decided to eat some breakfast at Estels. It is a great place with very interesting decor. The food was terrific.
Robert is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. If you have a chance to explore south, please do stop by, say hi, buy a beer and chat for hours. You will never forget your visit.
The Ras Safari bar is a cozy place at the southernmost tip of the island. There isn’t anything else close to it, so you can’t miss it.
We had a pleasant surprise to find Robert had returned to the island to reopen his Ras Safari bar.
