VP debate...was there a winner?

There isn't going to be anything blockbuster about this post...just an honest assesment of the VP debate tonight. I will shoot you straight...Biden did better than I expected. Ryan did well too...they obviously have two different styles, and I personally think this is the key takeaway from tonight.
I will come at this from a salesperson perspective:

First...let's look at content:
Ryan likes to explain things, whether that be his position or policies...truthfully, for the average person watchign the debate...it may have even been too much and over the public's heads. BUT, if you are listening for plans, and to actually learn what their vision is...he is very precise.
Biden...he appears to throw "stuff" out there, BUT says it with assertiveness and confidence. So what I will say is this...just because you speak confidently, doesn't mean that what you are saying is true.

Next, let's look at styles:
Biden...assertive, confidence, and in the opinion of some...rude. My personal take...he was a little much in the interupting department (which obviously disrupts the content of the Ryan message). So, if you like the fact that Biden was rude in his smurks and interupting, then you will think he did a great job of going on the attack. He spent more time attacking Ryan, then actually telling the American public how these next 4 years will be any different than the last.
Ryan...he isn't a bulldog like Biden. Ryan is a thinker, and an intellect. So, if you were looking for content and explanations...then you appreciate him. He was respectful of the moderator and of Biden...and he did not play into Biden's theatrics.

So, do I think that this debate was a game changer...No. I think that Biden catered to his base (taxing the wealthy, and blaming Bush)...and I think the Ryan catered to his base. (Providing plans, solutions, and drawing contrast from the Obama administration).

*So I pose the question to you...do you want an administration that blames others, takes little responsibility (even though what Ryan said tonight was accurate...that you had a Demorat President, and Deomocrat House AND Senate...they could have done literally whatever they wanted to)...and from an economic standpoint did not get the job done
OR do you want an administration with a different approach...one that plans to create jobs, which would put Americans back to work, and cut spending where possible to help balance a budget (and actually pass a budget...keeping in mind that it is a fact, Obama has not passed a budget in 3 years)

Healthcare...DO NOT believe the lies

Healthcare...DO NOT believe the lies

If you know me, you know that I am watching this debate...and fuming at the dishonesty and deception coming from this President. Now before you quit reading, hear me out...this is a topic that I happen to know a little bit about, and luckily have the ability to talk to people in the healthcare community every single day.
FIRST...let's talk about Medicare. There HAS to be changes to this, OR IT WILL NOT BE AROUND WITHIN A FEW SHORT YEARS. Just because it is offered doesn't mean that it (it being medicare) will be accepted by offices. There are thousands of offices that have stopped taking new medicare patients all together...therefore, if you are ALMOST of medicare elgibility, these offices are not going to take you as a patient (So your healthcare is NO GOOD) It isn't about "having" coverage, it is about no one taking it.
Next, Obama is on the record saying he supports a "single payer" system..what do you think that means? GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE...do you not understand that people come to this country to get quality healthcare? They don't run to Canada or Europe for life saving surgery...
If I need a doctor, I simply go...that will fundamentally change under Obamacare.
Next, Obama keeps saying you can keep your insurance through work...what he obviously does not understand is this...the cost of healthcare has gone up since Healthcare Reform was implemented. Connect the dots...what does that mean? If companies can't afford their current healthcare, then those people go onto the government system...that does not mean you get to keep your current healthcare if your employer has to forgo insurance due to rising healthcare cost.
Next, regarding hospitals and test...if you happen to get in a life threatening accident, you will have various doctors and specialist treating you. When they do that, they all get paid for their expertise (whether that be critical care pulmonology for your breathing and lungs, or a cardiologist for you heart, or a neurologist for you brain function, etc) They should all get paid, because they are each individually using their skills to save your life...under this new plan, this will not remain in place.
They will simply get a lump some of money, regardless of care...do you not realize that this compromises care? Hospitals and physicians will not get paid if a patient is readmitted to a hosptial within 30 days of discharge...what do you think that means...that care will be compromised? If they are going to lose money and not get paid for someone returning to the hospital, they can't afford to operate.

*All I can say is this...do not let the smooth talking President fool you...he is truly deceiving the American people, and I can not stand for that.
