Politics and Medicare .

I've moved to Washington from Oregon and it's been nothing but a mess medically. First I couldn't see my doctor because I need a Washington medical card. My prescriptions were filled with no problem at that time.

Then when I got the Washington medical coverage, now my part D shows the pharmacy as not covering me according to the pharmacy. It's been days and days that I've tried to remedy the problem. Today I spent literally hours on hold while calling one number who would only refer me to another government or state agency, around and around and around. Pass the buck. In the meantime I can't get my medications for blood pressure and my other medical conditions---they're sitting on the shelf at the pharmacy waiting for me to BUY them with money I don't have. It's just ridiculous. The card they asked for is the one I gave them but they've rejected it but it's valid and nobody seems to know where the problem is. If I ever needed my blood pressure medication, I certainly do at this point but I can't afford it unless we can get it filled with my coverage so that I only have to do co-pays of about $1 each.

And then when I try to watch TV, the only coverage seems to be the Chump. We need to dump the Chump and get on with some sane stuff. His methods are exactly like an abusive person handles people. He spouts bigotry and then when called on it, he say's "oh no, you've gotten it all wrong. I'm not bigoted at all, I'm the least bigoted person you'll ever meet".  He's playing the public who are stupid enough to be cheering for the Naked Emperor, while the Naked Emperor swings his inadequate little naughty bits in full sight of the world. He so obviously considers his followers to be gullible, ignorant , ineffective little minions who will buy whatever he's trying to sell them without realizing that his baseball hat just looks stupid on him, which he knows, but he's playing to this ignorant group by making them think he's just a good ol' boy like they are who can play tough and make everything right. Everything he's presented has been just garbage that would only cause the country even more problems but his followers lap it up but on and on he goes.

I just saw a news clip where an eagle tried to bite him when he was doing an interview. That made my day. What more needs to be said?  Even the national symbol, the bald eagle, doesn't like him. The eagle has more sense than followers of this chump, evidently.

On the other side of it, maybe the big crowds cheering this guy are just spoofing him and egging him on to see just what lengths he'll go to. They may mostly have no intention of voting. They're just enjoying the show. We can certainly hope that's it for lots of them. No sane thinking person would ever want him to be the Commander in Chief. We'd all be doomed. But at least if he's the nominee the Republicans choose, we can be sure Hilary will be a shoe-in.

I also have a question. If Obama has been mistrusted because his father was Muslim in Africa, then what about Ted Cruz? His father is Cuban and Cuba has been under US sanctions for most of the last 50 or so years. Why is Ted Cruz not ostracized right along with Obama?
