Health Care, one size fits all

Last night the US House of Reps passed the Senate HealthCare bill, putting into law that every American must have health care. Here are a few facts about the bill:

• The vote passed 219 in favor, 212 opposed
• forces business to provide health care to part time workers
• cost to government and tax payers: over $850 billion
• bill included issues like: abortion, money to cities,federal take over of student loans, and other things not related to health care
• some states are suing because they believe it is their state right to decide if they want to offer universal health care, not the governments.... violates Amendment 10- laws not specificaly reserved for federal are given to the state

What effect will universal health care have on a nation economically?

How do you feel about universal health care?

It’s a Bloggy Blog World!

For many of you this may be the first blog you have been a part of; for other it may be a long list of ones you follow. Me personally, this is my first year being a part of the blogging community. However, to most people blogs are the new news paper, media center, and information highway. Some people even make money by getting people to sponsor and advertize on their blog pages.  Check out what these BIG time Bloggers make:

• http://www.boingboing.net/ make over $1 million per year, has 2.6 million visitors per month
• http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/ makes over $5,600 per month, 500,000-1.5 million views per day
• http://www.thedigeratilife.com/go/shoemoney-tools, makes $1200 0 month and has 20,000 visitors per day.

My question for you….. If you had to start a blog what would it be about? Who would be your intended audience? Could you see yourself making this a career, or a hobby? I could sure go for making an extra $5600 a month :)
