Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Another Reason To Expand Medicaid


As mentioned in the 10/22/13 Buster's blog post, "Good Job, Guv!", the State of Ohio is now being sued over its decision to take federal money set aside by Obamacare to expand Medicaid to more low-income, uninsured people.  Those bringing suit are a handful of hard-right Republicans and a "Right to Life" group.  Among other things, they claim that extending coverage to more poor Ohioans would "jeopardize unborn life."

Gimme a break!  These self-righteous moralists ought to think a lot more about all the life which is already born!

And in fairness, since they're so worried about the nebulous "unborn", shouldn't they be equally concerned with the the other end of the spectrum, the undead?  I mean, have you taken a good look at some of these zombies?  You know they have zero income, they sure as hell have no health insurance, and they're in obvious need of medical attention.

Have a heart -- Ohio's indigent zombies need Medicaid coverage.
