Inspiring confidence?

They could very easily be lieing to you .

They may not lie to you but they will the next guy . Are you the next guy ?

8 years of the little boy who cried wolf will do that to you.....

he didnt mention anything that pissed me off, he is attacking healthcare full steam ahead, with no regulations things tend to get out of hand as proven in the housing crises, no one watches, everyone gets rich.. Healthcare to me is an issue that everyone in this country should be entitled too, especially the elderly,they shouldnt have to dump thier 401's to pay for care. Doctors do pick and choose according to insurance coverage, I dont think its a right, i think it is an entitlement for paying taxes all your life, i at one time payed 18 bucks a week for full coverage and the employer picked up the rest. now i pay out of pocket for bare minimum coverage and the bills roll in..we dont cover this we dont cover that. it turned into a big expense taking money from the monthly budget. with re-form it would be like getting a raise, all the way around for everyone, it should be equal accross the board, this is something you cant control but you can control your own destiny on becoming whoever you want in this country

nice meeting you and Amy too, i have no idea what happened to your coozies or the CCF ones i purchased. im just glad i made it out alive.
i didnt tell Randy but he probably is woondering where his shirt is.

Come on Greg, we are stuck with him for 4 possibly 8, if the pubs keep acting like little girls

How about a Public Physician, Like Public defenders. If you need a doctor or medical care and you have insurance you cango to whwt ever doctor your inurance will pay for. If you have no insurance or other means to pay you are apponinted a Public Physician. A qualified doctor willing to work and be paid by the government. This would be cheaper then any of the plans they have suggested currently. 100% of the population would be covered.

I HATE the whole entitlement mindset. In my opinion, that is one of the biggest problems in America. To many people think they are entitled to have everything. My wife works at a hospital in the registration and billing area. You would not believe how many people walk in there and claim they are poor and can not afford healthcare, blah, blah, blah, hospital can not turn them away and then go out and drive away in their new Caddy . Some people are legitimatly uncapable of paying, but the thing is, those are the ones that already qualify for Medicare.

Just my opinion here, but I do not think you are entitled to healthcare, have a new car, a free government cell phone, cable tv, or anything else, except national security. That is what our taxes were supposed to be used for. It is time for people to take some responsibility for your own life and quit bitching about what is fair or not fair. I don't care if you are 100 or 20, plan your life accordingly.

If BO wants to make healthcare more affordable to individuals, why doesn't he just open up the markets and allow you shop for healthcare nationwide? Make them be a little more competitive. Allow individuals to form groups or pools to get discounts. Tort reform. These are easy, free ways to lower healthcare costs.

It means they were previously lying to you.

I have to agree with Eric on the health care issue. something has to be done, it has gotten out of control. too many people getting too rich off of others misfortunes.

Eric, do you remember what the coozie said?     

Don't stress over it Randy and great to meet you. I'm just giving Eric a ration.

I didn't have a green long sleeve shirt, it must have been Mike's. It wasn't my gray button down shirt was it? That is one of my favorites...

was...
a family friend recently was diagnosed with esophogas cancer and his wife befriended a Saudi Arabian woman in the waiting area, i guess they got pretty tight and the womans husband was renting the entire floor at the clinic. these people we know are a little down on thier luck and at home here in Lodi Ohio a limo pulled up to her house and the driver handed her an envelope, it had 5k in it, she tried not to accept it but it was dis-respectful if she didnt.   true story, he was a prince btw

I've got a friend coming to Maine tomorrow. He's a 58 yo doctor and an anybody but Bush guy. I can hardly wait to ask him how he likes being a "basic human rights" provider. I hear he's not nearly as excited about change as he was last year at this time.

what's the deal with those coozies?

Tim, i rather be dis-appointed than be as disgusted as i am with todays healthcare, its pitiful.
there is no other way to fix the system other than the government stepping in, its in the private sectors hands and has been turned into a profitable greedy business..i dont like the government running things but it is necessary.
its about compassion for other human beings, havnt you noticed a drug store at every corner?
im not preaching re-form but there has to be a better way than what is current, we have to try something even if its not popular, i dont know if it will work, you dont know if it will work, but at least the attempt is there and a problem is recognized

Eric, you know gov't regs had a lot to do with the housing and insuance issues we have now.

And that 46 figure can be broken down without a lot of effort.
