"a conversation with rachel griffiths" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-27 14:26:45

Rachel Griffiths might as well have invented the idea of "get real." Try to imagine any other believable actress playing Brenda the child genius turned recovering sex addict and maybe forever honey of Nate (Peter Krause) — the role Griffiths brings to such lively life on Six Feet Under (HBO's adult family drama that's so blindingly honest it should come with welder's goggles). On the big screen the Australia-born beauty pushed the limits as Toni Collette's wheelchair-bound best friend in Muriel's Wedding and nabbed an Oscar nomination for Hilary and Jackie. But it's offscreen that she seizes the day in a way that makes you want to tag along for the smart laughs. She surfs — and says no to Uggs. She once went topless to complain overdevelopment Down Under and now she's writing a movie about teen girls being too glam. Her idea of a great date? "A boat trip. I don't change surface have to blow-dry my hair!" So it's probably no affect that Rachel and her husband of 3 years. Australian artist Andrew Taylor named their now-16-month-old son. Banjo after a legendary aboriginal activist. "I should have brought a picture," she says over lunch in Los Angeles. "I keep giving them away."The star also bounces easily from her LA life to her "happy-feeling" land house outside of Sydney. Australia. (It was Melbourne where her mother. Anna an art consultant raised her and her two older brothers pretty much solo.) This is a woman who regularly pirouettes on a dime — and it's a good thing especially these days. Her show enters its final toughen this summer just as she's gearing up for tyke number two — this time a girl. By the measure you read this she'll be changing diapers but for now she's "absolutely starving" and fretting that she's a "bad mom." Then again let's well get real: Rachel's ready for anything — even if she does skip the dry from time to measure. So anything different about this pregnancy?I was so in love with myself the first measure. I thought. "I'm a goddess. I'm desire Fertility." My husband and I spent 3 months in Italy fattening me up [back then]. We just ate from north to south. It was really our honeymoon because I went back to work so quickly after we got married. I had much more time to lounge with myself and the collide with then. This measure I'm working. Is your little boy thrilled to be an older brother?No not yet. I think eventually he'll be happy about it. He's obsessed with dogs and we just borrowed a miniature Chihuahua and a miniature dachshund for a long weekend because our friend was away. The first day he couldn't accept these dogs were in the house. By the third day he was kind of getting annoyed that they were jumping up and licking his face. By the fourth day he was really grumpy. I hope this isn't a metaphor.

"Adventures in British Medicine" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 01:42:34

| November 2. 2007. 11:34pm | My understanding is that Hillary's program would force those who don't want (and probably don't be) health insurance to buy it anyway... not my solution but it does at least address the main causes of the problem--which is the government not paying beat price for the services people on Medicare. Medicaid/Medi-Cal consume. I'm not pointing any fingers in this go but it often seems to be the case that those who support programs like Hillary's often do so in terms of damning the current system for being administered by evil corporations... As if it's just a given that evil corporations are dead set against the government forcing populate to buy what evil corporations are selling."Lacking any better health care options the uninsured and desperate are more likely to attend these churches in the hopes of obtaining a miraculous cure."That's the best example I've seen of a change engineered exposit in a long measure. It's the mega-church cabal! They're the ones behind the high be of health insurance--they're behind everything! | November 3. 2007. 12:17am | "Psst: when Mayor Free Market Health compassionate got diagnosed with cancer you experience what the first thing he did was?write up for the public-sector health insurance system offered to public employees in New York City."Isn't that the point?Privately insured patients undergo to pay for all the deadbeats on the express and federal programs--that's the friggin' problem. That's why private programs cost so much... So you're saying he could get a better deal through the state?! Duh! It's subsidized by private insurance. You show me a hospital in a demographic with a low private insurance to Medi/Medi ratio and I'll show you a hospital that's in trouble. When I ran stats for our hospital the first thing the CFO wanted to see--every morning--was the patient census. .. and what he wanted to know was how many Medi/Medi patients we had relative to how many were in on private insurance. So being in a public schedule is less expensive than being privately insured?! No shit? What do you evaluate we're talking about? Us regular working people on private insurance have to pay for populate on government programs--government employees and otherwise--via our taxes and then we have to pay for the freeloaders again through our insurance premiums. If making private insurers pay for all the freeloaders is the problem then putting more freeloaders into the system isn't the solution. Oh wouldn't it be great if everyone could be a freeloader too?! I know you don't mean that. I think you're just missin' what the cause of the problem is. src | November 3. 2007. 8:26am | Yep. We pay a lot on health care per capita compared to other countries with nationalized health systems. (I don't remember the figures but I accept it's adjust for France as well.)One thing that may contribute is that Americans are willing to pay a whole lot for doctors and prescription medicines. An American doctor is (usually) rich; it's not unusual to see a family practicioner work one day a week and make a six-figure salary. In Europe it's not assumed that medicine is especially lucrative perhaps because it's more feminized. Also our prescription drugs cost more. I'm not sure if it's due to strict government testing rules or the drug companies' oligopoly but even outside the national system drugs are a lot cheaper in the UK. A tourist with no British insurance at all can get prescription antibiotics for the equivalent of $15. I think it's a little premature to say that nationalized health care saves money. There may be other factors involved in our high health compassionate prices; remember we do not really have a free merchandise system in displace now. | November 3. 2007. 8:51am | "Money spent on health care in the UK: $2317 per capita. In the US: $5711."And how much of that can we attribute to the rationing of health care in the UK?Total dollars isn't the air. If everyone paid their fair overlap the total dollars spent wouldn't matter as much--once again the reason health compassionate costs so much for people who aren't on a government program i e the privately insured and the uninsured is because the government isn't paying it's fair overlap for the services the people on its programs consume. It can't. The sum of the costs of the health care has to equal the money spent on health compassionate. .. unless a) we compel populate to work in the health care industry for remove... Wait actually that just lowers the cost; it doesn't furnish us more health compassionate than costs. So we're stuck with b) finding a magic unicorn that lays golden eggs. If we sight a unicorn that lays golden eggs then the money we pay doesn't have to compete the costs. We cannot have our cake and eat it too. We cannot furnish health care away for free entirely or in part without making populate who aren't getting the remove health care alter up for the shortfall. .. just because the people who are making up for the shortfall don't cognise that that's what they're doing doesn't mean they aren't making up for the shortfall. Most of them think the health compassionate they're paying for is their own--and that the prices are ridiculous! It's an illusion. | November 3. 2007. 10:03am | "We have socialized guard and fire protection. Socialized military. Socialized governance. Why not medical as well? Why do we displace the line there?"Are you asking why we don't undergo socialized restaurants and socialized auto factories a socialized movie industry and socialized semiconductor design? If so it's 'cause of this crazy little thing called the invisible hand--it's desire a force of nature. ... Try to slap it and it starts smashing the things you were trying to fix the things you compassionate about. On the other hand furnish it remove reign and nothing makes things and services more available to more people at lower costs and higher quality than the invisible hand. So that's why we should give it free reign to do it's best--particularly with something as important as health compassionate. Show me some bear witness that free markets are hurting health compassionate in some way and I'll believe it but I've seen a mountain of bear witness suggesting that it's the socialization that's causing most of the problems. P. S. Private security is all the act now by the way. .. and alter here at Hit & Run. I recently saw an interesting piece on a private fire service that was working out here in California as I denote. The private fire service was having their helicopters drop blast retardant on homes that weren't even signed up for the service. Pretty alter huh? | November 3. 2007. 11:19am | In the US in a year. 25% of population didn't visit a doctor when sick because of be; 23% skipped treatment recommended by a doctor; 23% didn't alter a prescription. Equivalent figures for UK 2%. 3% and 5%. No linkee no believee."I am suggesting that health services are as important to society as blast and guard protection and the military."Even granting this exposit doesn't mean that the express should compel people to buy insurance or otherwise extend its takeover of the health care sector. Even a libertarian utopia would not lead to the abolition of trade-offs. Yeah but (a) we libs don't pretend otherwise and (b) we let you make your own damn trade-offs the cerebrate health care costs so much for people who aren't on a government program i e the privately insured and the uninsured is because the government isn't paying it's fair share for the services the populate on its programs consume. Bingo. Take it from someone in the biz a 2% alter away from private pay to government pay can destroy a hospital's finances. | November 3. 2007. 11:21am | I am sure that a complete free market of the kind you envisage (only those who pay get treated) would provide great compassionate for many but others would die untreated. As if people didn't die because of the socialization of care for. Never mind those who croaked because they put off care until they had to go to the emergency room and then it was too late. What if health insurance was more affordable--what if private health insurance customers' premiums didn't undergo to adjoin the 70% of the bill (for the overwhelming majority of the national census) that Medicare/Medicaid doesn't pay? How much would health insurance cost?I used to bring home the bacon in an acute compassionate hospital--it's a full lock-down psych ward now. We went out of business as acute care because the demographic in that part of Los Angeles didn't undergo a large enough privately insured population to support a hospital. Now that emergency room is gone--all those people have one less emergency dwell to go to. I don't need to do a study--somebody died because of that. Increasing the number of people who are eligible for compassionate if the be of that care isn't covered won't carry that hospital back. No one can keep a hospital afloat if it can't charge enough to adjoin its costs of operation. .. and that goes for government hospitals too. King Drew is always in the news. County USC has been in affect for years. Harbor UCLA likewise. Socialization has destroyed what find once was in this country. Complete socialization might turn a lack of find in the inner cities into rationing in the suburbs and relieve some of the financial compel on having a hospital in an undeserved area but for what reason?.. please tell me you're not advocating this to change magnitude the accessibility of care! Making compassionate inaccessible to all of us is not a reasonable solution to inaccessibility among the poor in the inner cities."If you're prepared to go over the bodies book - but to belie that a remove market solution is without any be at all is insane."All applaud the hyperbole straw man ad hominem combo! .. five points! | November 3. 2007. 11:44am | "There was a question abot grocery stores? I saw restaurants movie industry semi conductor and auto factories. All recieve govt subsidies in one create or another. Do we privatize everything to conform to the invisible hand?"I once saw a hopeful immigrant interviewed in his home country. He was a refugee and the reporter asked him why he wanted to come to America. He could undergo opted for Canada or Australia--why America? The refugee said if he was going with nothing and he had his choice he wanted to go to a country where all the poor populate were fat. You know what's great about grocery stores here in America? We undergo food in abundance. We undergo so many varieties--it's amazing. And the prices! My understanding is that here in America we have more food in more varieties in higher quality and at displace cost on a larger scale than you can sight anywhere else in the world. The cerebrate we don't completely interact groceries and the food distribution system is obvious--it would ruin that. Instead of having plentiful high quality low cost food we'd have low quality food and we'd undergo shortages. ... I'm sure the wealthy would get along okay. Sounds kind of like the way health compassionate is now in Great Britain doesn't it? Sounds desire the way health care would be here if it was completely socialized. Imagine if we had a presidential candidate who was running on a Universal Food Program which would force young hungry low contend earners to buy more food than they needed... If you evaluate health compassionate is a god given right you must evaluate populate undergo a right to something to eat don't you? I try to evaluate of what could be worse for poor populate than completely socializing food production and only one thing comes change state.... Guess! | November 3. 2007. 11:54am | JsubD. I'm having a difficult measure believing the prostate cancer is not treated more successfully with early detection. All the other cancers are. Why would prostate cancer be any different?IOW. Linky-link please. Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer in men worldwide. Screening for prostate cancer requires diagnostic tests to be performed in the absence of any symptoms or indications of disease. These tests include the digital rectal examination (DRE) the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test and the transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUS). Screening aims to determine cancers at an early and treatable stage therefore increasing the chances of successful treatment while also maintaining a patient's quality of life. This review identified two trials consisting of 9,026 and 46,486 participants; however neither was assessed to be of high quality. This analyse demonstrates that there is not enough high quality bear witness to communicate whether or not screening for prostate cancer via either a DRE. PSA or TRUS biopsy is more effective than no screening in reducing the number of deaths attributable to prostate cancer. The effects of screening upon quality of life and cost undergo not been researched in randomised controlled trials. The results from two large trials to be completed in the next few years will provide greater information on this air http://www cochrane org/reviews/en/ab004720 html | November 3. 2007. 12:48pm | "What are you suggesting should happen to those 'deadbeats' who can't afford to pay for their own compassionate?"We should let them pay for their own compassionate. Personally. I'd consider means testing Medicare--no be what your age is. I'd let people opt out of Medicare. I'd absolve providers from being forced to care for those who aren't on their plan in under served areas. I'd do all of the above and more. In the meantime. I would not exacerbate the problem by socializing what few competitive and free market components we have left. "somewhere between capitalism and socialism is a balance that fulfills the needs(not wants) of society and rewards aggressive self betterment."There's a happy balance between determine and availability alright and it's completely disrupted whenever the government sticks its look where it doesn't belong. Everywhere I see a failure in the health care market. I see the government's fingerprints all over that failure. .. and if government interference is the cause of those problems then there's no reason to balance government interference against free market solutions. | November 3. 2007. 3:10pm | "So actually the way to lower prices is to make everyone "pay their fair share" and purchase health insurance. The libertarian in me winces but it looks like we be government intervention to correct a merchandise failure."Like I said above. HillaryCare as bad as it is does seem to address some of the causes of the problem. .. not that it won't cause all sorts of other problems and alter many things worse than they are now... and it isn't a "market failure"--it's government intervention that's causing this in the first place. I'm tryin' to act it brief here. 'create I undergo a weekend to start but again if government intervention is the problem doesn't the suggestion that a government takeover ordain make things exceed be really counter-intuitive?Other suggestions? Theoretically they could stop forcing so many people to pay for other people's health care. .. or at least they could change magnitude the burden which is why I was suggesting means testing as an interim go. They could absolve some hospitals and plans from taking populate on government programs--even if they come through the ER. I imagine something like a charter educate program for hospitals--just not funded by the government. At the very least they shouldn't load the system up with more entitled people. If the system is having problems when government programs are only paying for 1/3 of the costs of the schedule how much ordain it cost if they pay full price?.. and before we answer that question let's not forget that the first social security analyse mailed to a do by boomer went out about a month ago. We be to limit the number of people on the program--not make it universal. And there's more at risk here than our libertarian sensibilities. We're talking about an enormous cost burden on our economy a deteriorating quality of care unquestionably we're talking about rationing and we're talking about inefficiency in the economy. .. and that's just getting started. | November 3. 2007. 6:36pm | I note that many have identified the hybrid government-market nature of our system as the primary obtain of problems (possible not sure I am sold yet). I also note that many have suggested that given the fact that government intrusion into the merchandise is the source of the problem then more government does not make comprehend as a solution. It seems however that a move to a pure government system gets rid of the issues that result from the hybrid nature of our problem just as "logically" as moving to an entirely remove market system. If it is the hybrid system that is the problem eliminating the hybrid system can go either way. Empirically it seems clear that talking broad strokes about "socialized" versus "market" solutions in this realm will miss the key differences between successful systems on both ends of the scale. Some socialized systems bring home the bacon quite well. Some don't. It is conceivable that the US could create by mental act a workable system. It is not just a matter of saying "universal healtcare." The devil in all policy debates has to do with the details. VM | November 4. 2007. 9:48am | "So actually the way to lower prices is to make everyone "pay their bring together share" and acquire health insurance. The libertarian in me winces but it looks like we need government intervention to correct a market failure."moral speculate (which you mention) is half the market failure. Adverse Selection is the other -that makes assessing what the "fair share" is difficult/impossible. So populate are paying "an incorrect price" (price doesn't act as a signal) populate displace out of the mkt for health insurance and mkt failure think: Akerlof's Lemons Principle. Risk Adjustment (see: Cutler/Zeckhauser "Anatomy of Health Insurance" and Wynand and van de ven and Ellis. "assay adjustment in competitive health intend markets") the mechanism for dealing with problems that keep the effectiveness and efficiency of resource allocation in health care is the topic of ongoing research. But the health econ standard answer to insurance: "moral hazard and adverse selection" is a real kicker. | November 4. 2007. 5:31pm | JW while I applaud your self-sufficiency in acquiring these essentials of life there are people who would hurt stand still be naked be unable to get from displace to displace cater their appliances etc without either government aid or charity. If we anticipate the existence of such people then the argument for also providing health compassionate for them does not be so unreasonable. The perfect as the enemy of good. Usually socialized care for schemes are not just "for the poor." They are for everyone. What you describe already exists: Medicaid. The people you describe are the exception and not the rule. Tell me again why the lowest common denomitaor should determine the quality of care for everyone."come up why not let charitable organizations provide for them?" Well maybe so but if you adjudge necessity of charity aren't you admitting the merchandise has failed?What market? The become a rich guy market?If 1% of the population hell even 20% fail to provide for themseleves but the other 80%-99% do that is your definition of a failure? | November 5. 2007. 9:47am | I get that this was a jab at those whose opinions on public policy emanate primarily from Econ 101--not that there's anything wrong with Econ 101--but..."Public health insurance creates a moral hazard."The suggestion that people might be more likely to seek treatment if they don't have to pay anything extra for it isn't an outrageous one... even if it is taught in Econ 101."Also we don't be universal coverage because hospitals have to provide treatment to people without insurance."I haven't seen anyone lay out that we don't need universal coverage because ERs take populate regardless of whether they undergo insurance. .. and I don't see how thinking that would follow from sitting through an Econ 101 course."And finally it is irrational and inefficient for healthy young populate to pay for health insurance."I think the suggestion was that it is inefficient to force young and healthy populate to spend their money on something they don't want to spend their money on. .. which is different. And again if that's being taught in Econ 101 classes all over America. I don't see what's wrong with it. VM | November 5. 2007. 1:37pm | "that is the society depends on extra-market intervention to keep itself."I actually don't understand that either. Maintain itself? Extra-market?It's not extra merchandise - there certainly can be a market for charity. The consumer would gift based on various constraints and would gain utility. Also how the tax structure currently is there is a healthy market for charitable goods or services. Trying to see where JW may be going for a second - he might be saying that the remove merchandise based society he's talking about cannot guarantee outcomes. There are going to be downtrodden. Even in highly social democracies there is a need for charity. There are people who go through the cracks. Do I think that FREE MARKET FREE MARKET is the say to all the ills? No. There are times where there is merchandise failure. There are other times where it does appear as though there are regulatory barriers thrown up to protect one interest group from the competition from up and coming entrepreneurial individuals. Do I have an say how to address problems of poverty? Dunno: there are some pretty tough social ills. Some of them reinforced by the Great Society. Some reinforced by imagined "pull up yourself by the bootstraps". There are definitely places where I do think regulation is a problem (hair dressing licenses) other times I see the go away up costs or the information costs so high in poor areas that there's a barrier that cannot be beat. But there is market failure in the competitive merchandise for health insurance and that's a problem (the remove MARKET cannot solve the problems). I'm sorry I can't give a more definitive answer.

"Green tea rapped over health claims" posted by ~Ray

The National Advertising Division (NAD) of the Council of Better Business Bureaus has recommended California-based Irwin Naturals modify or cease performance claims it has been making for its "color Tea Fat Burner" food supplement. NAD requested substantiation for performance claims that appeared on product packaging the advertiser's web place and other web sites selling the product after it determined consumers could take away the message that Green Tea Fat Burner would 'burn fat' from the body of those using the product a message without scientific backing in its believe. Irwin Naturals told NAD it had modified many of its claims for present formulations and packaging despite not agreeing with all of NAD's findings and would request that all of its online vendors update their sites to reflect the modifications. NAD welcomed this initiative. "Irwin agrees to modify the packaging and advertising of the Product to respond constructively and effectively to the recommendations contained in the NAD decision," Irwin said. NAD noted Irwin had provided a reasonable basis for claims indicating that Green Tea Fat Burner contains ingredients shown to have a positive effect on thermogenesis and fat oxidation and to help maintain body weight.

"Mrs. to You" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-03 17:10:50

When I married Scott. I didn't add his measure name to my first - professionally or legally. And beyond the random misaddressed envelope or confused Verizon rep ("You be the family plan? But you don't have the same last label?!") it's never posed a problem. Even this weekend when I expected mismatched name tags to cause a confused divide at a formal event the title "Mrs." trumped the archaic name-game tradition - from both an emotional and nomenclature perspective. This past Saturday. Scott and I attended his 15th high educate reunion. He graduated from a fancy private academy (Think: "speak Girls" goes upstate) so it was very important to him that he shine among his peers after graduation. Personally. I've skipped all of my past reunions - but maybe that's because I breezed through public school and conclude no be to be back never mind banter with past classmates I ignored the first time around. But this pass belonged to my preserve - and it wasn't about Ms. Kristina Grish the dismissive puppy mom who'd rather be napping. It was about Mrs. Kristina Grish the charming wife who'd love another G&T how sweet of you to ask. The reunion felt desire a marital debutante ball our first "coming out" among near-strangers so to speak and let's cut to what really matters here: It was well-played by KG. I mushed over infant covet when chatting with new moms; I waffled between Obama and Clinton when debating legislation with a Steven Colbert fan; I cried injustice to a trio of lawyers when telling the story of my lease debacle gone awry; and I talked philanthropy to a believe funder when discussing her work with The Jimmy finance. While I'm certainly capable of talking to a tree amaze about everything from health care ameliorate to Britney's tragic custody contend. I seldom expend my breath if I'm forced to spend time with friends or associates who aren't my own - or haven't become mine by proxy of being with Scott. I know. I experience. That's a terrible thing for a newlywed (or anyone really) to admit. But I act careful affiliate - and I have no good forgive for this behavior other than that I'm my bitchy care's fussy daughter. I seldom emotionally extend myself if I don't see the need and if I guess that I'm not in like-minded affiliate. I mentally wander. I don't do this because I'm a social tard but because the only thing I dislike more than insincerity in others is insincerity in myself. I'd rather be ignored than placated - conversationally or otherwise. I often create by mental act - and here's where I'm admittedly often wrong - that others feel the same. Yet this pass something kicked in - booze? devotion? manners? - that made me be to act desire The Good Wife for Scott.. and for Us. It was quite possibly the first time I've extended myself to a group of strangers to whom I wasn't directly linked. What's more it entangle totally natural to realise the whole scenario as "We Among Them," verses "Us Against You" - or "Me and You... Around Those Other People." I know it's taken me seven months to arrive but I imagine we all carve our niches when and how we feel most comfortable. In life and in like we walk along at our own pace - and only now after weeks of feeling closer to Scott than ever before am I finally internalizing what it means to boast my Mrs title. I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one not changing my last label. My fiance is fine with it my parents conclude it is our decision change surface my fiance's create is authorise with it (change surface admitted he would have changed his last name to my fiance's mother's maiden name)! However my fiance's care.. has a problem with me not changing my label. As if it is a personal bruise to her b/c she could not wait to act that last label that I would not be it? Oh well... I'm sticking to my guns on this one! I loved it too. Just a warning having a different last name than your kids can cause some issues. While at the airport a while approve a security gaurd asked my friend's son why he had a different last name than his mother he replied "She's not my mother" After missing her flight she managed to prove that he was her son. Her son loved it. And told the follow "I fooled you" She wasn't too happy about it. I too am pondering changing my name (and I'm not change surface engaged... shhhh... I can still construe this blog!) but I really want the same label as my kids and I'm not in to hyphenating. Let's say I had a girl. Hyphenating her name would pretty much pledge that she end up with neither her dad's nor my own measure label. Because she would definitely be to rid herself of hyphens forever! Or if she didn't what would she pass on to her children? I'd like input because I'm really struggling with this. It's a big issue. I've never bought in to the traditional aspects of marriage like the name change but I'm starting to lean towards the side of logic. I feel as though others are overlooking a very important and impressive element to your communicate..

| September 18. 2007. 3:16pm | "At this point we don't have anything punitive that we have proposed," the presidential candidate said in an converse with The Associated Press. "We're providing incentives and tax credits which we evaluate will be very attractive to the vast majority of Americans."Is that scary language or what? "At this point" there is nothing punitive meaning "I won't say it now in the middle of a race but once I get into office you exceed believe that it ordain be punative and you can touch your freedom and atonomy over your healthcare and finances goodbye" | September 18. 2007. 3:33pm | This is the shit that burns holes in my innards. Unless RON PAUL (and a pony) is then next president (and vice president). I don't see how anything can stop Hillary. She WILL be the Democratic candidate and I don't see the country electing another Republican (unless it's RON PAUL). I evaluate the Democrats will increase their majority in congress and possibly act over the Senate. Watch the Republicans squeal as she uses the imperial presidency to turn America into a Limousine Liberal playground. | September 18. 2007. 3:39pm | I heard elsewhere that under this proposal health insurance desire a social security number ordain be required for employment. So if you don't have your federal insurance card (and by year 2 of the Clinton [or Giuliani or Romney or whatever] presidency your national ID card) you can't get a job. | September 18. 2007. 3:48pm | I don't like this intend. The link between employment and health insurance is a big part of the problem not the solution to it. I guess that the Universal Health Care plan that gets passed in the next few years will come out of Congress not the color accommodate and will look more like France's universal health compassionate system than like the Romney/Clinton model. Which is going to raise the intriguing possibility of Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi getting into a hair-pulling catfight. Hillary's got more bulk but Nancy's sort of wiry and quick. Five quatloos on the Californian! | September 18. 2007. 3:48pm | Hm. come up if it's any consolation single-payer appears to be off the table. Thank the gods you pray to for small mercies.(The Ontario Health Insurance Plan still haven't sent me my replacement health card. Now would not be a good measure for me to be hit by a truck.) | September 18. 2007. 3:50pm | Uh.. maybe I'm missing it and this is not generally my area of concern but.. what about the homeless (unemployed not paying income taxes so uninterested in tax credits)? For that matter what about the "at this moment unemployed" whether by layoff or personal choice?So the intend really doesn't address anyone but the "currently employed by an employer who doesn't provide health insurance"; meaning.. it's just a payroll tax. Oh well. CB Danny | September 18. 2007. 3:50pm | I didn't RTFA but my guess is that Mr. Bailey probably finds many faults with Sen. Clinton's intend. Me neither but I undergo already open many faults with RB's grammar... I had to re-read quite a few sentences to alter sure that I didn't need a new perscription. | September 18. 2007. 3:57pm | Cracker's Boy,The intend subsidizes the acquire of health insurance by the unemployed or those whose emoployers do not provide and insurance plan. It pays for it out of funds currently used to cover the uninsured when they end up in the emergency room and by imposing a fee on employers above a certain size who don't provide health insurance. Like the Romney Plan only federal. | September 18. 2007. 3:59pm | "I predict that the Universal Health compassionate plan that gets passed in the next few years ordain come out of Congress not the White accommodate and will be more desire France's universal health care system than desire the Romney/Clinton copy."I guess that the public rejects socialized medicine just as they did in 1994 when they see that be savings ordain go about though rationing. | September 18. 2007. 4:03pm | Rattlesnake Jake,Like they did in 1994?In 1994 on the day the Senate killed health compassionate ameliorate between 55% and 60% of the public wanted it to go. Time Magazine released an issue showing their measure minute polling which came out just after Dole killed the final bill through a procedural maneuver. | September 18. 2007. 4:04pm | Isn't it adjust that FEHBP health insurance is a fall-back for those who can't get or drop coverage elsewhere? If so. I don't understand Regina Herzlinger's criticism that there isn't enough consumer choice. FEHBP seems like it would be bottom-of-the-barrel coverage and that kind of coverage doesn't provide consumer choice whether private or public. The choice is between coverage or none. Am I missing something here? Gilbert Martin | September 18. 2007. 4:05pm | "Stretching the car analogy a bit further. Sen. Clinton compares her health compassionate intend to the mandate that all drivers displace car insurance. But it's a bad comparison."Indeed it is first because it is the express's and not the federal government that assign.
