RAVENS Thoughts

Ravens Keys to Victory:  
1. Get the offense in rhythm early.
2. Confuse Kolb.
3. Put the 1-5 team away early.

What stubborn Cameron needs to do (but won't):
1. Run some outside sweeps and counters to take advantage of the athletic (not mauling) o-line
2. Mix up the passing game (Outs and Middle slants, Short-Intermediate-Long distance).
3. Stop running the same crap passes that takes too long to develop and gets Flacco creamed.
4. Use a TE to block a little. Not throwing to them anyway.
5. Run a gadget play for God's sake.
6. Get the play called early and run a little no-huddle.

Stupid ObamaCare

Why in the Hell would one buy a plan that gives you $50 daily LTC benefit for which the same dollar would buy you quite possibly the highest end LTC policy for a COUPLE a private insurer?!?  Further... what is the sense of paying for such a small LTC benefit ($50/day), when you can't make up the difference and will go on Medicaid anyway???

'Monthly premiums would have ranged from $235 to $391, even as high as $3,000 under some scenarios, the administration said. At those prices, healthy people were unlikely to sign up. Suggested changes aimed at discouraging enrollment by people in poor health could have opened the program to court challenges, officials said.'

So yes, there would have been a 'public option' in ObamaCare.  I still wonder why orthodontics were not covered in this law?  You don't want snaggle tooth kids with low self-esteem running around out there... UNLESS... a new $70 Billion snaggle tooth kid Teachers training initiative is in the works.  Hell, we celebrate mediocrity and participation everywhere, why not celebrate snaggle toothedness? 

Further, Further... how will will we now deploy the already active bureaucracy created for such a wasted cause?
