With all this talk about the fiscal cliff and Republicans claiming they need to "save" Social Security by cutting it, something popped into my head as an idea to meet in the middle.

Conservatism is the rock our country was built on.

Unions tend to negotiate for health insurance coverage in the jobs they represent. I understand this is a major issue, and they are very proud of it, but they need to step up and start voicing that they wouldn't have to do this if ALL Americans had access to insurance.

I was talking with a right wing family member about the amount of money spent by the government, and the conversation turned to ways to save within what we are already doing, and we got on the topic of incarceration. I was arguing we could save money by legalizing marijuana possession (how much? That we didn't discuss). Follow after the jump for ideas that I had

I was sent an email with an article from "Casey's Daily Dispatch" (link) This email raises some issues about healthcare reform, including why it would be bad for the insurance companies to be required to cover those with pre-existing conditions. I responded to this email with the following. And unlike the email, I actually offered some links with info and offered suggestions.

I used to be a caseworker for the Department of Public Welfare in PA. I have written some comments in a few diaries about PA Medicaid (Medical Assistance/MA) and brief descriptions about how it is and ways to interact with it. They tend to be well received, so I thought I would write a diary to be a little more detailed. I plan to cover how to apply and what you will need to get started. By no means is this absolute, or the final word, but I hope it helps. If this is popular or people request it, I can start another one on the different MA programs are available based on situation.

I understand why everyone is arguing over the public option, and I think that it is blinding us to some of the other parts of healthcare reform. Like the old advice about negotiating, go with more requests than you know you will get.

You know the old saying, that sometimes the truth hurts. The other side to that though is that honesty is the best policy. I have listed some ideas below that should be (need to be?) addressed below the fold. I think that this could even be turned into a nice speech with some work.

I received an email from my state representative, David Millard (R), today talking about how a bill going through the PA legislature would be bad. This bill was for expanding AdultBASIC, which in PA is like CHIP for adults. Follow me across the divide to see the letter, and my response.

I had an idea on 2 commercials that could easily explain to people why higher income tax on the rich would make sense. It involves Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Could you see either of these making a difference? You will only know if you read below!
