Sometimes it takes a woman to tell it like it is. Bachmann is doing precisely that!!! My Grandmother Jennie Lee would have loved her directness. She was great at being direct-----she always did it with a smile. Defeating Obama Care/his so-called health reform is a family issue> This is a man's issue and particularly Obama Care is a 'woman's issue'--- women have for decades been told such pablums things----"it's normal for age", only to learn they have ovarian cancer or some such. If such platitudes don't work, then their next bag of tricks is to give her an anti-depressant which makes her often sicker. Yes Obama Care is a woman's issue---------we've been there with the medical profession and don't need another layer mandating what we should do with being uniquely female-----or how we live out our final 10 to 20 years. As my friends say----You Go Girl! And that is what I say to Bachmann-----You Go Girl!! mj

Found this on the net.... I truly hope President God gets His healthcare bill passed, we desperately need to get rid of Aunt Margaret, she has to wear Depends these days, and I'm tired of cleaning up her poop. Maybe President God should have a new Stimulus Program, "Cash For Codgers", where you can turn in your old family members for euthanizing and get $4500 back from the government! I'm sure He can print the money to cover this program, after all, "Cash For Clunkers" saved us from ruin here in the USSA... Blue skies and morphine to you all, XXXXXX

How Missouri Cut Junk Lawsuits We showed how to do malpractice reform, if Congress wants a model. SEPTEMBER 22, 2009. By MATT BLUNT There has been a lot of talk in Washington about cutting wasteful health-care spending, but it is troubling that such talk has not created a sense of urgency for national tort reform. It is especially frustrating because states have already shown that curbing junk lawsuits can cut costs, create jobs, and increase the quality of care available to patients. I know this because that is exactly what happened in Missouri when, as governor, I helped to enact comprehensive reforms. I took office in January 2005 at a time when runaway lawsuits were driving up the cost of doing business in my state and forcing doctors and other business owners to close their doors. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform keeps a list of states ranked according to their legal environment. At the time, Missouri ranked among the 10 worst. "Venue-shopping," a tactic that involves shifting a case to a friendly court regardless of where the injury occurred, was common. Defendants could be made to pay... ... Message 25963424
