Playing Politics with Healthcare
This information is about 1 week old, but certainly worth placing out for all to see. This information is from AAPPO. George Washington had it right, from a long time ago of course, party affiliations are to be avoided. I am more sick of Democrats and Republicans than ever. If we can’t depend on our politicians to read a bill and know what it will cost before they vote on it due to party affiliation, we are really in trouble as a country.
| Please note that after a summer filled with public outcry for Congress to “read the health care bills,” the Senate Finance Committee Democrats (minus Senator Blanche-Lincoln) just voted down an amendment proposed by Republican Senators Bunning and Cornyn, which would have required that actual legislative text (not the conceptual draft) and a final CBO score be posted for a nominal 72 hours on the Committee website for fair public review before the Senate Finance Committee could vote on final passage.Rather than voting to provide every American the opportunity to review the bill and a final score, Senator Baucus and his Democrat colleagues passed an amendment that requires just the conceptual language and a complete (not final) CBO score be posted “ahead” of Committee vote on final passage.

Your company is taking a 23% discount off our workers comp claims. We disassociated ourselves from your w/c products in October of 2005. I have left voicemails for the people who are supposed to address this. No one seems to be able to answer their phones this morning.
