Symphony in A#

I wanted to clarify something in my blog 'Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss.' Some person seems to think I was upset that Obama did not answer my mail personally, but I am not naïve enough to think that he ever would. What bothered me was that there was a link on his site for suggestions, so I sent in my suggestion that I thought healthcare was over-regulated in the respect that if a person has need of a particular medication that he has to find a person with an MD who will prescribe it, has to beg for the medication if he cannot find someone who will prescribe it or in most cases has to do without if the person with the legal authority to prescribe the medication believes he does not need it. For clarity's sake, I am not talking about controlled substances or any kind of narcotics, for the most part. My entire point had/has to do with things like topical steroid ointment and Tramadol. My problem with the Change government site was that the link that solicited suggestions did not state that if I sent in an email that I would both get ignored, be subjected to emails that had nothing to do with the suggestion I sent in, and I could not find a convenient way to get off the great, mailing list of randomness. I finally had to block the address entirely, because there was no real way to get rid of the emails, otherwise. As far as I know, government exempts itself from provisions of the Canned SPAM act that almost any other organisation would have to follow, like allowing a way for me to vacate what the administrator of the site seemed to think was a request on my part to get emails, on random subjects that did not interest me, several times a week. The fourth or fifth email I got was vaguely related to some healthcare-reform committee, but I had lost interest by then and decided to block the list. I think it is an abuse of the trust citizens put in government to use a call for suggestions to put a person on an unwanted mailing list. People would want to hang a person trying to sell printer ink who did that. Why should I put up with the president-elect doing it. My reason for posting what I wrote him was that I thought it was a good explanation of the point I wanted to make, and it was ironic that Obama abused my good faith just like many of the medical doctors I have been to see looking for help. Of course, any Obama apologist would try and frame what I wrote in the context that I had expected the ridiculous situation that the president-elect would write me by his own hand, but I am not that stupid. And I hope no one else is, because you are going to get disappointed even more than I have expecting help from the medical profession.
