This is my latest communication with my Congressman. I truly believe the one thing that will lower the cost of coverage is competition. The fact that the health insurance industry enjoys an exemption and is allowed to establish monopolies is ridiculous. The fact that one Senator had it removed from the Senate version to enhance [...]

I wonder what you think of the current progress towards health care reform. I think the health insurance companies are poised for record profits. I think the average citizen is poised to pay more in premium costs and much more in taxes and get less for it. According to most of the Democrats, we are [...]

I have been watching our Senators debate the health care reform bill for a while now and wonder what we are really getting. Do you know? If so would you tell me? All I see is the insurance and the pharmaceutical companies getting richer, the congressmen and women getting deals for votes and 45 thousand [...]

This is one of their THREE-DAY WORK WEEKS that we all pay for. I am ready to start from the beginning by voting out all elected officials and not letting any of them stay in office for more than two terms. No more lifelong healthcare, retirement, voting in their own pay raises, taking perks on [...]

Why don’t we start with the obvious? We do need to develop and implement alternative energy. We are going to run out of oil sooner or later. We need to be energy independent. Oil and coal are pollutants, we all need and want clean air and water, we all want a clean environment. Can we [...]

Lord Monckton has the experience and credentials to speak to these issues and concerns on Cap and Trade and the treaty. He believes that upon signing this treaty the US will cede sovereignty and we well send billions [...]

I am confused, it strikes me that the original plan was to get more affordable health care for all of us. The original plan was to insure the uninsured. The original plan was to reform the system and prevent folks from abuses by the health care system and insurance companies. Is that how you remember [...]
