Be especially aware that The American Drug companys AND DOCTORS can and do cut corners more than any country in the world for the sake of greed exactly as in the American Banking industry. This fact is just coming to light and the medical Industry is going to do exactly as the banking industry has done and suddenly the deaths of millions of Americans will cause a shutdown of this countrys health care, which is already rated 37th in the world and going downward as other countrys improve. We do have the distinction of paying more for our health care than any other country in the world bar none. Eric If you are not a part of the solution (by denial) than you are definately part of the problem. specially since you are a coroner. China also exports almost all toys for American kids with highly contamnated paint. Do American doctors care that our kids are being poisoned? NO. They havent done squat about saving our kids Even the parents don't care if their kids get poisoned. Just keep on giving money to China. What do you plan on doing about the contaminated drugs coming in from China Eric. Nothing just keep collecting money from poor people? Oh sorry eric, I forgot. You just take care of dead people. So your pockets get lined more with more poisoned people. If you grow your own herbs. YOU KNOW WHAT IS IN THE SOIL. very easy to get tested and it's free.Or it is here. Use herbs with wisdom. Know what you are taking with western medicine as well as with herbal medicine. Google what you take. Know what you take. Know the side affects.(Are the side affects worse than the cure.) What the medicine does.What it interacts with. The LIFE you save may be your own. Don't ever trust a doctor to know or tell you. BTW There is no way to tell what prescription drug comes from where. Like the banking industry greed has dictated that no one in the medical industry knows anything untill a castrophy happens and they need bailng out with out going to prison.

No Nick the CBO did go back and correct their first report on the Senate bill plus the Medicare Advisory Board also had corrections to add. If the bill is changed to include what the President wants, the cost will explode even higher because the Senate bill taxed high end insurance policies. The Unions cried boo hoo so they changed that provision to also include non-union plans until the year 2018 - after the Prez is out of office. This increase adds billions to the cost of the plan - remember the CBO hasn't scored BO's plan yet. The outcry from the Nebraska deal was taken out by the Prez. Well, it wasn't really taken out, it was given to ALL states for several years, then 90% is still picked up by the Fed - this alone will add billions/trillions to the unscored plan. I don't know if the special tax breaks for those evil insurance companies in Nebraska, NY and MI are still in play or not. Or if the Medicare Advantage for FL only was included but the Senate version permitted FL residents to be special. Please quit using an old WHO report for misleading figures regarding our health care system. All deaths including traffic and violence are included in the report. If you own a business and you make a 4% profit for the year is that considered lavish? When everyone cries about the billions made in evil insurance companies, it averages out to 4%. Medicare is privatized - it is run by the government. When you are on Medicare you better be smart and buy additional insurance to cover everything Medicare won't cover. The insurance company that denies more claims is Medicare, not the private insurance companies. The current rate of denial by Medicare is 65%. Laura I didn't attack Nick - I believe it was Nick using a sexual term and who mentioned abortion. Hopefully anyone in Utah having problems has access to transportation to find the help they need. Actually it isn't going to be an old, misogynous, (I LOVE that word) white politician between me and my doctor. It is going to be the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services plus many other new bureaucratic appointees tucked into new governmental agencies deciding everyone's medical decisions. Many of the decisions "shall" and "may" be decided by the HHS - an appointed Cabinet member, former governor with ZERO medical background. Most of these new agencies will not include anyone with a medical background. Whether they are old, misogynous, white men won't be known until everyone is appointed. I'm confident there will be a rainbow of color with some old white women in the mix - not counting Siebelius. What we need is more goverment employees receiving high salaries. Also what will happen when a new HHS is appointed - are they able to change the "shall" and "may" provisions in the bill? If you are unhappy with the pharmaceutical industry and want to import cheaper drugs from Canada then you don't understand the deal given to the President. For 10 billion, they are now permitted to extend their patents on new meds from 10 to 12 years. NICE! Since the pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers have a profit percentage around 20%, you would think the loud protestations of the evil corporations would keep us awake at night. It is also very tiring hearing the GW did it - BO doubled Dubya's deficit in one year. Nick sorry you chose such a crappy drug plan policy. My plan gives me the same price as WalMart for generic drugs. Non-generic drugs are more expensive but they are at WalMart too - in fact, they are the same price as WalMart. Hopefully all of your future meds will be generic when you need them. Do I think something will be passed? Yes I do. My next form of entertainment will be which States will opt out of the Fed plan because several have already started the process. I'm also anxious waiting to watch this slog through the court system to reach the Supreme Court to see if the Constitution permits the Federal government to mandate a citizen MUST buy something or be penalized. Don't give me the Interstate Commerce provision - it doesn't make anyone buy anything, just permits them to have access. Brooke

This bill has NOTHING to do with socialism and EVERYTHING to do with capitalism. The profits of big agriculture are written all over this bill. I've spent weeks 'dissecting' every word in the bill and researching the co sponsors and the wretched politicians that wrote it , you should do the same. It does in fact impact farmers markets or any vegetable that is sold or meant for human consumption. It makes all growers comply with industry regulations ie insect control/pest nematodes,bacterial disease control and on and on. It hardly impacts the current agriculture monopolies and impacts the small farmers that don't have the resources to comply with regulations. Tom Vilsak (one of the bills authors) is heavily in favor of large industrial farms and genetically modified crops. Political spin confuses people, it is not about socialism per say , if we want to be intellectually honest HR 875 was born out of corporate monopolies infiltrating Washington with their money and influence. This bill is capitalism out of control,paradoxically the profit motive of corporate monopolies is behind this bill. They see the threat of small farmers and back yard growers and they want to stop it. This is all about $ business $....thats capitalism for you.

A death in the home would not bother me, assuming the chalk outline had been removed, but it would bother some buyers. In some states you have to reveal if there has been a death in the home in the past 5-10 years, and if this applies to you then it will affect the value of the home. The freeway would bother me more, but you buy what you can afford, and not everyone can have a mansion in a forest.
