Slider,
I've much appreciated your investment insights over the years and once again would like to say thanks.

A quote from your last post:

"...Now we are faced with, among other things, the prospect of "death panels" under socialized medicine...."

If anyone reading this thread is interested in understanding the critical importance of the "Advanced Care Planning Consultation" you may want to read this reasoned, informed article from today's The Oregonian.

oregonlive.com

The article also explains the importance of a "POLST". I have one as do my wife and significant others.

This health care hysteria reminds me of an incredibly competent Cardiac ICU charge nurse (who was my client) who finally resigned from the local hospital because she felt that some of the hospital mandated procedures (like breaking the seal on the crash cart, no matter how totally hopeless the medical situation) was driven solely by revenue generation and subjected the finally dead patient to unnecessary violence.She found the whole premise morally repugnant.

As a retired therapist who wrestled for years with care-restrictive, endlessly greedy health insurance companies I can say without qualification that the ramblings of hysterical marginally functional illiterates like Sarah Palin makes the filthy rich health CEO's dance with joy.

Again, Slider, thanks for all your investment input. I fear you've gone around the bend.

Hasta

Shakes
