We need to keep beating that drum because all they have to say its errors on paperwork, well. That just proves there’s too much paper, too many things to sign and way too many ways to refuse coverage on.

They won’t get rid of the waste, they make excuses….

I don’t understand why they won’t keep connecting Profit with Refused Claims?

Somebody tried to dismiss it on the Ed show yesterday, look 15% of the country is functionally stupid we get that. The rest of us aren’t stupid but aren’t armed with all the information they should be, especially those that haven’t discovered the Internet yet or fear computers.

Anyway, I’ve heard of Fowler she’s a paid Lobbyist and Lobbyist tend to right bills when nobody is looking. I think she forgot the INTERNET is out there.

Under international and United Nations agreements, the U.S. military
has an obligation to provide care to civilians and combatants in cases
involving life, limb, or eyesight.

The reporting has always been among the best. So far, that’s hanging in there. But the acid test is what happens down the road.

Baucus and his senate jerk-wad colleagues are afraid of the financial hit they PERSONALLY are going to take if anything gets passed. Baucus is trying to create a smoke screen he can hide behind just like Grassley and the rest of these jerks because they produced NOTHING…Except what they copied or commissioned from this ‘lobbyist’ for Wellpoint…what scum…nothing to see hear…move along…..

I knew, and know, we had short term obligations (under the old “you broke it, you own it”) syndrome. But when I read that post I thought he was saying we were paying for life, and I feel pretty comfortable in asserting that’s just not true.

We may have paid in 2004, and we may even by paying some today, but unless I see something more definitive than a 5 year old news item, I’m not buying that we’re paying long term.

Then again, maybe that’s not what those two posts above were saying, and I just failed at reading comprehension. If so, sorry, my bad, and please disregard.

“thank you sir! may I have another!”

that is changing, now, finally.

we can look forward to some major (D) defeats in 2010 and 2012 – the question will be – will there be 3rd Part and (I) candidates ready to pick up the fleeing voters?

Universal care is right for Iraq, Thompson says

Wednesday, March 03, 2004

WASHINGTON — Fresh from a two-day weekend visit to Iraq, the Bush administration’s top health-care official defended the $950 million that will be spent to help Iraq establish universal health care.

Congressional Democrats have criticized the administration for helping Iraq to establish universal health care without doing the same for U.S. citizens.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said yesterday there are major differences between the two countries that defy simple comparisons.

“Even if you don’t have health insurance,” said Thompson, who toured medical facilities in the Iraqi cities of Baghdad and Tikrit on Saturday and Sunday, “you are still taken care of in America. That certainly could be defined as universal coverage. Every American’s health care is far superior to what the health care is in Iraq.”

Sen. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, ranking Democrat on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, responded yesterday, saying the U.S. system doesn’t sufficiently meet the needs of 44 million uninsured Americans.
