MCHCP & MOTOROLA


The Atlanta Braves are 0-9? Why did TED TURNER dump Jane and CNN? What the hell was that "chop" business in the 1980's? Want a "cut," eh? Go to hell! A Cardinal rookie was quoted after his first homer in the bigs as saying something about "two cents in?" You'll have to "Steal my mail and go to jail" to find out why I've been talkin' two pennies around Ventura County, California. Where's TONY LARUSSA when you need him? And, as a bonus, he was a lawyer before I watched him on my Chicago station with the White Sox.

Mr. Hughes needs to read Business Week pieces about the health care industry like Eskimos require community college classes on snow. The "tutor" on the topic was this presidential candidate's own state-sponsored health care glob for 17 years, and please, "Number Kooks," it is an honest count, although first, let's review some "facts."

NUMBER OF CIA EMPLOYEES: 17,000
NUMBER OF U.S. NUCLEAR WARHEADS: 17,000
NUMBER OF T.O. RESIDENTS: 117,000
DATE OF MY BACKPACK THEFT: 02/17/10

I've got some more...oh, never mind.

[We interrupt this blog piece to report the CAL LUTHERAN STARBUCKS GIRL has a CA plate of "{M---} *22," meaning "M---" has been heretofore neglected, raising the official count of SPYGIRLS GOIN' TO JAIL to 25, so you can all stop obsessing on the "22" thing].

What's important is, even before becoming a CA strip-tease veteran i.e. I'm stripped clean and Hollywood whores tease, I knew this ruckus goes back to the Kaiser, so spare me more TOM HANKS WWII movies, please. Kaiser, as in the HENRY J. KAISER FOUNDATION reported a 120% increase in health insurance premiums commensurate with a not brisk like tea wage increase of 29% over the past 10 years. Try 20 year figures, boys & girls; I dare 'ya.

Yes, in Big MO, here was the drill 1989-2007. GREAT BIG HOSPITAL #1 and GREAT BIG HOSPITAL #2 duked it out for business from GREAT BIG HEALTH PLAN #1 or GREAT BIG HEALTH PLAN #2. Being an expert of HMO's, PPO's, Fee-for-Service, in the Hughes world leads to P in bush, or on Bush, as the case may be.

Wellpoint is the largest U.S. Health insurer? No wonder they called the LA County Sheriff on me in March of 2009 for...what? Writing on their property? Hey, grandma used to mutter in disgust about "The Blue Cross," so whatever happened to Anthem's market share and their seeming insistence that the H-man not be allowed to pay for a 70/30 hospital plan with a very high deductible. And, thanks for tossing-in prescription drugs so you could allege I am on DRUGS, the Glaxo Smith Kline kind, anyway, not from CALI COHORTS, LLC.

This was the start of a "We won't take your money campaign" that is going to culminate in a big Dollar Bill v. The Fed scuffle, so get ready Supremes, and if you call me "grandiose," I'll have a homeless man shake your hand after scratching his you-know-what's.

Solutions? Why bother? Maybe tomorrow, I'll join the Old Kranks.
