faux news blaring in optometrist office. i left

In Los Angeles and with a zillion cable channels the decision to blare faux news on the only big ass TV in the waiting room is done deliberately to educate the masses. I quietly left, had already signed in.

I have never done that before. Got fed up.

They called me. I didn't pick up.

Poor thing. To suffer such abuse at the hands of a 'caregiver'. Outrageous!

After seeing how much (or how little for that matter) medicade and medicare pay vs. what is billed. It's no wonder most Doctors are conservative. Frankly, I'm suppressed they don't fill their waiting rooms with posters explaining how government subsidized insurance is going to kill the medical industry. I speak with Doc's and their office managers daily, they are that frustrated with it.

I guess any news agency that doesn't just constantly vomit liberal talking points and call it news is artificial. I'm so glad I "keep my head burred in the sand" by choosing a news source that gives me the facts, and not the official liberal opinions, and only on stories that make Obama look good. If all that pure, unrestricted information makes me an "ignorant partisan", then I ware the labile proudly.

I'd be surprised if the law didn't have a ban on doctors advertising how awful it is. I seem to recall that when the feds raised taxes on one sector of the economy, they imposed a ban on the collectors informing their customers that the increase cost was due to taxes. It was either telecom or gas, but I don't remember which.
