Even though she looks a little  like Frankenstiein after having a minor surgery on her Bump of Knowledge, Babe is still smarter than I am.

We upgraded her memory  implant also. She now has instant access to the entire contents of the Library of Congress.

Addditional modifications  include Night Vision and Wimax 4g.   Only thing. Babe keeps pinging me when I’m shopping at QFC.

“You will want to buy that Canadian bacon. Get me?

Because I read you  five by five on google maps and you are not cruising the meat Isle!”

Word on Healthcare

Mad as Hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!

*****LOOK FOR THE AUDIBLE WORD OF DOG streaming now on Internet radio. Barking Live on Saturdays 7p.m. PST*****

Here’s the Deal. This whole national healthcare legislation logjam?  It’s a sham.  I can’t make heads or tails of it. We have allowed our representatives to engage in carnival barking and obfuscation (the art of rendering an idea unclear or unintelligible) over an issue We ALL Agree is a train wreck about to happen. The engine is OFF the Tracks, and we, the people…ALL of us; The United States of US, are being dragged along on a runaway train that is heading straight for Armageddon. We aren’t even traveling first class! When it comes to affordable healthcare most of Us are riding along with the luggage in the caboose. But we’re all gonna crash together just the same!
Hell. Even a Dog can see that.
Dogs know all about dogfights. This is a dogfight. We are supposed to be about the business of fixing a damaged system that costs more than it delivers, while failing to serve those that need it until they are too sick to take care of themselves and end up in an emergency room.

Most all of us agree that we willing to pay a REASONABLE price for healthcare. Eleven hundred dolars a month for a family of 3 is obscene. Five hundred dollars for a single man over fifty (with exclusions) is pure insanity. Forget it when it comes to MY Heathcare… Insurance for an old die hard Scottish Northern Border collie? Unobtainable.

When your only option is to go to the county hospital when you are on your last legs, who do you think ends up paying the bill? If you happen to be insured, and exclusion clauses allow denial of treatment, or worse, enable Insurance companies to revisit a claim after the fact, and sue for the entire bill based on any number of obscure “pre-existing” conditions, Who do you think pays for that?
How obscure are the pre-existing conditions? Read your policy and be afraid. If you have one.

My companion has an Endrocrine disorder. Any condition arising out of, or in any way related to the endrocrine system is not covered. Outside of falling off a cliff at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday during the full moon, My guy has no coverage. Oh, if he falls because he passed out or something…all bets are off.

This issue is not about the red states and the blue states, This is not about the communists versus the global Illuminati. It’s about Homo Sapiens agreeing to find common ground in the name of what is best for Everyone living Now, and for generations to follow.

I don’t know about you but I AM MAD AS HELL.

I Watch my companion and his friends barely getting by with minimal healthcare and they are mostly wage earners, just one accident away from a financial meltdown.

It affects me too, frankly, because I am a Service Dog. How can I do MY job if you people do not do yours?
Get. Involved. Take charge of your healthcare future. Learn about the issues. Participate, question, and be Heard!

Don’t be lead like lambs to the slaughter!
Bark!
Bark for affordable healthcare!
Here are some ways you can make a difference:

Commit to being INFORMED. Discover for yourself What is SO on Healthcare. Do not take “let me get back to you” for an answer. Do not allow verbal slight of hand or other distractions (“But what about the terrorists?) to stop you. Get the facts.

Communicate YOUR concerns to those in government:
Call or email your congressman, your senator, the White House.
You can communicate with the ENTIRE U.S Legislative body! Did you know that?

How do you contact them?
Hello? Do I have to spell it out? You are viewing this blog so you must know something about the web.
Learn to use Google.
If you are a dog, You will be amazed. (try “hot to trot on four legs with lots of fur, but no health insurance” for starters)

Here are some suggestions: (just roll over them with your mouse for a preview or click to visit)
The Us Congress
or

The Us Senate
or

The White House

Communicate with others in your neighborhood. Exchange stories.
Volunteer. Go to Hospitals, care facilities, and get the INSIDE picture!

Most of all. Be part of the Solution!
If you are not BEING part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.
I know. I was like that myself once. Wandering aimlessly, no particular opinion on anything, useless, untouchable.
NOW I am a Dog with a a Job My work transforms the lives of others I meet, and that makes all the difference.
You can make a difference too.
Fixing our health care crisis is a Do-able thing! We only have to Choose to Make it So. We went to the moon and back! (Well, not me, exactly, but you know what I mean)
Together we CAN make affordable healthcare a reality, where Everybody gets a fair shake. We’re not talking handouts here. But scraps that aren’t worth paying for is not a fair shake.

VISIT
THE COLLIE REPORT
TO BE A PART OF OUR ONGOING COMENTARY ABOUT HEALTH CARE!

In the future, I will be talking about definitions. Just to clear the air. Definitions of certain words like:

Exclusions
Preventative Medicine
Recision
Competitive Insurance Pools (like any employee of the US government gets access to for example)

I’m learning about all this stuff, and I am a dog.
So don’t tell you can’t learn along with me.
Follow our blog. Comment on your experience.
Get in the game!

very truly yours,
Babe T. Border collie.

PS: Tonight at 10:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time I am sticking my head out the window of our tiny riverside apartment in Portland, Oregon and BARKING for affordable healthcare.
We are inviting ALL canines and humans to to join in. Let our voices gather and be heard.
Together we can raise a ruckus that will get the attention of those sleeping DOGS in Washington!

Tonight. 10 p.m. And EVERY night until affordable healthcare happens, we are barking.
“I am Mad as Hell and I’m not gonna take it ANYMORE!
Affordable Healthcare NOW!”

pss:
I live all the way across the country from D.C. Three thousand miles away to be exact.
So I need a LOT of barkers. Drag your human with you.

The First Word of Dog podcast

Babe is ready to bark for her favorite readers in the outdoor amphitheater at Reed college.

Babe and I are attending our 7th annual Tin House Summer Writer’s Workshop and seminar as we speak. This year is also the tenth anniversary of the premiere release of Tin House Magazine.*

Dog and I wish to celebrate our own transformation, generated in part due to the generosity and welcoming spirit of the Tin House Summer Workshop as we progressed from being more or less untouchable along the yellow brick road of our mutual salvage…

Ok. So the bricks weren’t exactly yellow.  But the people who created and embody the Tin House community were kind enough to give us a place to sit along the way.

As long as it was out of doors.

all the best,

Christopher and Collies

Welcome to Jack in the Box … It’s about a little experiment in micro fiction Babe and I conducted (mostly in secret) while at the 2007 Tin House Summer Writer’s Workshop. The file is mp3 format.
