USA news on Youtube Jan 6 2019

hi this is trip while I'm sitting outside here and in the car just came

from the doctor's office it must be a hundred hundred degrees at least at

least with the arm and where they call it the two heat index anyway though I

slept about two hours last night I was just coughing and coughing so this thing

I've had for two weeks just seems to continue on I did go again to the doctor

today for the third time in in two weeks and this time I got some some

antibiotics so you know we don't want to overuse those kind of things because it

makes the the germs resistant to the to the to the medicine but because of mine

you know not just my age but also because of my size I don't have a lot of

reserves and coughing like I was doing all night it was I just just wearing me

out so this is like I said the third time in in two weeks that I went to the

that I went to their doctor and I feel bad about that because Medicare is

paying for most of it

it's accused me and I know that a lot of people waste that people who qualify for

something that's supposedly kind of free like Medicare and and whether it's some

military healthcare or Medicaid people don't really pay very much into it that

they tend to use things without restraint and they use a lot they visit

a lot more in all the studies I've seen already showed that the Free or

something is the more people use it but there are so many people that don't care

them that don't take care of themselves and just and just waste the money waste

the taxpayers money

but not judiciously and and calmly logically planning their their health

care and their doctor's visits so much money is wasted and someday you know

it'll be I just won't be anymore and I don't have a solution for as long

as people have used the system and I think everything should cost a little

bit more even my Medicare I pay premiums for people don't pay I don't think they

pay much they don't if you're poor enough you have to pay any Medicare

premiums at all but that's the way it used to be at least with my mom so but I

think well it's really hard to say isn't it

yeah anyway well this is Tripp and I just wanted to talk a little bit about

that so still hoping to get better got my

antibiotics now but very concerned about about people who abuse free or nearly

free health care systems that's all I have to say later

hi this is trip and I blog at retard guy usa.com I blog about retirement issues

and and personal finance so the last last few days was kind of a perfect

storm of the illness and medical appointments

nothing really terribly serious I mean anything any of them can be but anyway I

think where they even start I went to I got sick last week first time in five

years and went to see to the physician and got some medicine for that but then

I wasn't a whole lot better so yesterday Sunday I went he was back from vacation

and on duty so I went to see him and and he told me there really wasn't much to

do was kind of a viral infection and there's there's no reason to give

antibiotics because people prescribed them too much and they won't do anything

much for me so I just have to kind of wait the cold out it's kind of like a

sore throat in a cold so I've taken my original medicine and maybe I seem a

little bit kind of a loopy right now but I'm it's very mild I can function so

in the meantime I had and my thoughts that I have today oh you had to come

today to to the to the

was the doctor call the rheumatoid doctor especially is rheumatism and

anyway it so I had to get my my shot it's for my bones it's a big expensive

shot you get it every six months and it doesn't hurt or anything but I had to do

that the first thing today it's extremely expensive somewhere along

the way I don't know where all the profits shake out between the I know the

the manufacturer gets most of the money it's like like several hundred dollars a

shot in Medicare pays for that mostly it's

quite amazing because I have severe osteoporosis and it's funny to get this

shot every six months for you know for a few years so I went there and I got that

done then I had to go to the to the kidney care in hypertension clinic

because I got confused about my blood pressure medicine I was taking one and I

that the kidney doctor prescribed for me so when I ran out of that I started

taking some that my regular physician and subscribe before prescribed for me

but it I went back to the kidney doctor and talked to the nurse and she said I

was supposed to be taking what he prescribed for me because I have another

problem with sodium which my last blood test showed was very good now

in fact my physician told me yesterday Sunday that I've been very good and very

good health I guess considering everything agent

whatever so I did all that so far today how to go to the pharmacy then and get

the the correct blood pressure medicine field to pick up my pick up my

cholesterol medicine I have to call my family physician tell

him and update the records there that I'll be taking a different kind of blood

pressure medicine well strive to do here okay we did that my next appointment is

of for my my next dog bone density medicine is six months from now we did

that I have to count for one lab because I had labs last week whenever I got sick

have to cancel this lab here he's all my orders I could take these over to the to

the lab to have it set up to take my to get my several blood tests in about a

month got to go back to the hypertension the

kidney kidney clinic doctor it met in late October and see how those tests

turned out you know think that's about it this right here now this is the O

blood pressure medicine gotta get rid of that so anyway I won't talk anymore and

you see I'm still kind of hoarse for my my cold and sore throat

and I hope you thank you for tuning in and catch you later Oh another thing so

yeah I've got to go tomorrow to the to the eye doctor because I have at my

Pullman a couple of weeks ago I found out that I have that I had cataracts

start to go check tomorrow to be kind of prepped a preliminary visit for my let

my cataracts excuse me my cataract surgery which would be in a couple of

maybe about a month or so so a lot of things going on and I'll get this out of

the way and everything will be fine toodaloo

Korean Olympic Detente - Duration: 6:29.

Korean Olympic day Todd this is trip and today I'm talking about the beginnings

of maybe a date on between the two Koreas which gathered momentum during

the recent 2018 Winter Olympics Kim jong-un the self-styled the great leader

of North Korea sent his little sister kim je-yung

kim yo-jong to south korea she invited South Korean president moon jae-in north

on official unofficial visit one day at the opening ceremony the two of them Kim

and moon sat in the vicinity close vicinity to each other later they went

to dining and concert together and I think they did any dancing together the

two Koreas at the opening ceremony marched out under a unified flag of

Korea the 200 North Korean cheerleaders were there doing what they what

cheerleaders do best you don't really pick your cheerleaders

wearing wearing a short short style skirts to come from out North Korea

which is a cold draft Millett military-type totalitarian nation

basically there everybody was putting on a big smiley face and North was all it

was a public relations thing the Korean pop music groups and singers some of

them performed there was a room of the Ron bong band from North Korea might

come to the South that's the group that Kim Jong Un's started for public

relations reason they're girls it it's a a band they dance they're very talented

they dressed like pop singers do sometimes they dress in military type

uniforms very catchy some of their songs imran bong band or my country is the

best the hymn of advancing socialism and glory to general General Kim Jong hoon

which of course is Kim Jong Un's favorite song the singer for the

group eunsung eunsung wall came to the olympics says to the in advanced

preparation she was there before the olympics so kind of paving the way for

logistics and for the north not the north delegation visit she's a star in

north korean some of her songs are excellent horse like lady footsteps of

soldiers I love Pyongyang and that great toe-tapper which many of you have danced

to she is a discharged soldier okay time to be a little bit serious now I was

born during the last Korean War June of 52 July of 1953 during that war 33,000

US soldiers and 35,000 were killed in action we also had thousands of other

wound didn't some that were prisoners of war some are captured and brainwashed

and never came home in addition several thousand of our allies separate

casualties killed wounded captured but far greater than our losses were the two

to three or four million Koreans Korean casualties of that war they in killed

wounded and captured plus the Korean continent was destroyed the Korean War

the so-called war came just five years after the end of World War two Korea was

recovering from them and the two Koreas of course were divided along the 38th

parallel until the north the North Koreans attacked the south with far

greater forces in the south and we're not we and our allies went to defend the

south it was never declared war it was called a police action well 70 years ago

70 years later we still paying for that war think of the cost over many years of

70 years although I'm sure the South Koreans have offset part of that cost

when will we ever leave South Korea we'll probably be there 70 years from

now our children and grandchildren of

permanent presence that permanent presence that we have in the world in so

many countries we're just in too many places and for too long a time but what

is what is the solution to it when can we bring our our forces home and no

longer beat no longer have that ISM as a distraction and a potential tripping

point for another war what we've never been there and the two Koreas have

united under the North would it still be the would there still be the same

tension in the area well we went to Vietnam and that nation suffered so many

millions of casualties it was destroyed we lost the Vietnam War it's now United

under the under the North is there a socialist or communist country when a

North Korea is a dictatorship the people are starving there are gulags is

repression we know all of them what if we weren't there what would it look like

in what will it look like 70 years from now so is this date aunt from North

Queensland and the South it is the beginning of a relaxation of hostilities

the beginning of something great that like the Berlin Wall when it came down

between East and West Germany or that they taunt Nili is it really just

something whereby the north is trying to buy some time to develop their nuclear

forces so that we can never even think of attacking them in case they continued

to threaten to attack the US or our other allies in the region is an attempt

by the north to isolate the u.s. from its allies that's what I'd like to know

and I appreciate you commenting below and sharing with your friends and

i will need cataract surgery - Duration: 2:51.

hi this is trip that retired guy usa.com that's what my blog is and I blog about

retirement and also personal finance well you can see it's kind of getting to

be a little closer to - autumn actually we're technically in autumn as as of a

couple of days it is so hot it really doesn't feel like it but anyway um I

went today to see about my cataract surgery my eyes are still real dilated

that's why I'm blinking a lot and I'm looking out the window and to the CERN

there so anyway it appears and don't quote me on this and don't act on it but

it looks kind of like that Medicare will not pay for cataract surgery if it is

not a quality of life issue in other words if you're getting along okay then

then they won't cover it so and that's the case for me I'm not interested in

having unnecessary surgery my eyes I can still function very well I can read I

can work on the computer watch TV I can drive or do anything I want to so it

really hasn't affected me that much so what I'll do is I'll go back in in four

months and see if I'm if my cataract is any worse and it is bad I found out

today that this is my dominant eye so the way they the whether they figure

that out is you do a test looking at your at your thumb like that and and

anyway that's how they do it so I didn't know that until today really that was

that that was my dominant eye and it's probably why I get along so well as well

as I do because I compensate for this I over here for the bad eye but everybody

will need cataract surgery eventually it's just a matter of time if you live

long enough that's what the doctor told me then you're going to eventually need

the surgery one day but at least I am no go for a few months now and if it gets

any works I go back sooner if not I'll continue on and have another

checkup then I see my rather of my regular autamorist once a year and my

retinal specialist once a year but I staggered the appointments so that I'm

seeing one of the other every six months and now I'm adding a new a new position

to the equation so I guess I'm as well covered as anybody is

that's about all I want to do is just to update you for that said I would say

bye-bye
