Texas Drifter: On Your Own Alone

Library Entry # 864

Marshall’s Law Dateline – One Reader asked origin of Texas Drifter’s attitudes. One answer could be that reality experiences are only anecdotes never facts; when compared to other peoples’ experiences. Following observations are merely explaining, not complaining.

Scenario started after closing my business to spend about three years caring for very special relatives. After these relatives went home, and their debts were settled; re-started security career to re-build mostly used up financial reserves during previous non-income generating three years.

During a bout of pneumonia, was given wrong prescription medicine by hospital staff that caused a stroke shortly after being dismissed from hospital for recovery. Still not having time to re-build resources, Texas Drifter was left without recovery health care. The “oops we are sorry about wrong pills” hospital attitude provided little medical recovery.

Many say why didn’t you sue hospital? Guess surviving and recovering were more important concerns. As title suggests, I was on my own alone; a place my thirty plus career in intelligence, investigation, and security had placed me many times before.

Consider following
1. Had no job to generate income
2. Had no money for medical care
3. Was blessed to be able to walk twenty feet without having to stop and rest
4. Lost what seemed like more than half my memory
5. Brain did not synch up with my sometimes unintended words
6. Could not drive so I sold my truck for few dollars
7. Had no relatives worth talking about to advocate for me, as some relatives are like undisciplined dogs only coming around when they want your “bones”
8. Friends can only do so much as they have their own life responsibilities
9. Seem to be surrounded by welfare profiteers who wanted to adopt me as their food ticket vegetable
10. About all I had left was my “Free Spirit” fifth wheel and ability to generate short writing exercises
11. Seemed only thing that I had going was an old expression my very special now gone home relatives had taught me: survive best you can with what you have, and always be grateful to Heaven for your blessings.

Decided that first thing I needed was a “daily list”; which started with: get up with sunrise; hygiene care; fix breakfast; start walking; rest; walk more tomorrow than today; keep looking for “rent free space” for my “Free Spirit” plus meals and supplies bartered for security of small ranch; work on Texas Drifter writing exercises; continue working on another similar list tomorrow.

Side note – Update estimated decade later – still working on list some fourteen plus, mostly not so great ranches later. One addition to list is find ranch I can call my very own; so last blank of blank boss this old Texas drifter ever has to work for is myself.

Few lessons learned Reader might be interested in: First, Obama Care which is tolerated by Mussolini Republicans like McConnell, McCain, Cornyn, Bush clan (others Reader can list) is worse than Veterans of Administration care for America’s veterans.
Second Obama Care can be profiled by following examples of care Texas Drifter received.
1. Negligence – prescribing wrong pills
2. Incompetence – referrals of indigent too doctors who will not treat patients without sufficient co-payments
3. Unlimited fraud scams – like raising donations to pay for indigent patients’ health care bills; then selling bills paid for by donations to “bill collectors”, which ruin patients’ future credit ratings – other rip offs include -
4. Double billing for same medical services
5. Billing for unnecessary medical tests and services
6. Basing all medical diagnosis on “blood tests” in “feed lot assembly line - health care clinics”
7. Accepting insurance cards for services, when the clinic knows full well the clinic is not in that insurance provider’s “network” – clinic then sends patient letter stating that they are responsible for costs that their insurance carrier no longer covers.
8. Prescribing drugs for commissions from prescription drug retailers
9. Note - Many physicians are not corrupt or incompetent, problem is their supporting bureaucratic staff – Another note there seems to be increase of racist physicians from third world countries practicing racial hatred against Caucasian patients. A condition witnessed, but dutifully ignored by many Obama Care supporters. Why, would these Obama Care supporters endorse flooding America’s health care system with less qualified third world doctors? Obvious answer, they have “good health insurance plans”. Again not suggesting all foreign doctors are unacceptable, just that many are incompetent and racists. More details about why Obama Care supporters would support incompetent or racist third world doctors is subject for another writing exercise.
10. Other points Reader might add.

Getting old is not for go along go get along wussies. Perhaps thinking like being “on your own alone” might not make Reader such an easy target for all those seeking to exploit, steal from, abandon in nursing home, or abandon on side of road. Common health care strategies for elderly by both private sector and public sector evils among us in U.S.? TRUE or FALSE

Question, when is a boycott not a boycott? Definition of boycott: to engage in concerted refusal to have dealings with another - often being a business or organization. Boycott can usually be used to express disapproval; plus force change of offending behavior. Any boycott not attempting to force change is not really a boycott. Example not continuing to do business with a specific news organization, and not caring if the news media member like Fox News, changes their behavior or not; is not really a boycott. TRUE or FALSE

Bonus question – Catholic Church as well as other religious leaders are accessories at minimum and or totally responsible for letting themselves be duped by forces of evil. Some examples might include
1. Marxist fascists exploiting truly indigent (genuinely poor not professional poor)
2. Corporate fascists exploiting government regulations in name of climate change
3. Providing aid and comfort to Islamic State and cartel gangsters by allowing terrorists and violent criminals, to compromise America’s border’s, by infiltrating Syrian or Middle East refugees or illegal immigrants from other third world countries.
TRUE or FALSE

Clue – Is violating maybe eight of Ten Commandments a comprehensive blatant sin before Heaven? By who, those exploiting truly poor or ethical capitalists for greed or political advantages.

Bonus thought question – If Catholic Church and other church leaders feel capitalism is such an unholy evil? Why then to avoid appearance of their not being hypocrites; does not Catholic Church and other church leaders; return all dollars, properties, and other assets to their proclaimed to be “evil capitalists” making original donations? Some suggest that Catholic Church may be largest “private” property owner in America. TRUE or FALSE
