Resolved Question: Do you agree with this about illegal immigration?
GOP: DRY UP WILL TO CROSS BORDER BY DICK MORRIS In their desperation, President Barack Obama and senators with large Latino populations in their states (like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.) are seeking to polarize Hispanic and Anglo sentiment over the issue of illegal immigration. In his frequent messages calling for higher Latino and black turnout and his condemnation of the Arizona immigration law, Obama is trying to recapture over immigration the voter approval he lost over healthcare. Arizona acted as it did because of a lack of federal enforcement of federal law barring undocumented immigrants. With a porous border, they felt that they were left no choice but to pass a law allowing potentially intrusive searches to ferret out illegal immigrants. Because this law could subject American citizens of Hispanic origin to undue scrutiny and perhaps to needless trips to the police station, the Arizona law antagonizes the jump ball in the immigration debate -- Latino-American voters. If there were a real national identification card, the requirement to produce papers might be less intrusive. But, as it is, with the burden of proof on the citizen (or the illegal immigrant), the law is bound to raise tensions between Anglo cops and Latino citizens. But being forced to support or oppose the Arizona law is a false choice. It reflects the unimaginative politics of confrontation that jeopardize race relations and elect demagogues like Barack Obama. (Obama's share of the white vote was the same as Kerry won in 2004. He was elected only because of a three-point increase in black turnout and a shift in Latino votes to his corner. He won because of race, and now he schemes to keep control of Congress by using the immigration issue.) The real answer is not to round up Latinos in the streets of Phoenix and hope to catch illegals in the net. Nor is it even to pretend that we can stop determined men and women from crossing the border by way of more guards, more troops and better equipment. The answer is to dry up the will to cross the border in the first place by stopping employers from offering jobs to undocumented workers. If there were felony penalties -- jail time -- for hiring illegals, they would not be hired. And if there were no jobs, there would be no illegal immigration. The Republican position on illegal immigration should be to demand tough employer sanctions, including jail, and coupling that program with a vigorous guest-worker program to bring needed workers in legally, pay them a living wage and then escort them out when they are no longer needed. The United States, in need of a younger population to pay for our current and future retirees, should also raise the allowed levels of immigration. Both parties are hypocritical on immigration. Democrats, controlled by unions, want Latinos to vote but not work. Republicans, controlled by agribusiness interests, want them to work but not vote. The answer is to stand up to union and to agribusiness pressure and take tough action to stop the hiring of illegal immigrants. If there were no jobs for illegals outside of guest-worker programs, there would be no need for amnesty. They would all go home of their own accord or wait until they got legal status. We would need a foolproof, biometric identity card to speed identification of those eligible for employment to accompany the sanctions against hiring illegals, but this is a small price to pay for an answer to so pressing a problem. But Obama will not take the step that could end illegal immigration. Why? Because he wants immigration. He seeks to reshape the partisan balance in America by increasing the number of Latino voters and marrying them to the Democratic Party by provoking Republicans who just want law and order to appear racist to Hispanic-Americans. His is a game of great duplicity and racial opportunism. But good legislation can defeat his designs and solve one of our most pressing domestic problems at the same time. I agree with this: Take away their reasons for being here and most will go home. 1. $10,000 fine for each illegal a business has working for them 2. Make illegals ineligble for any benefits except emergency medical care and only to staplize them before deporting them 3. Change the Anchor Baby Law to where at least one parent has to be a legal resident of the United States 4. Get the states to work with a credit card company say like American Express to develop Driver's License Cards and State ID Cards which are very hard to alter, hard to duplicate and only the person can use it. 5. Strictly enforce all immigration laws moreResolved Question: HELP PLEASE!! PERSONAL FITNESS!!?

This is an atrocity!. IF this is what we can expect from the direction our NEW health care system is going, we better repeal it quickly! Do you think this is what we're headed for in the US? Is sure seems that way, doesn't it? excerpt... A patient desperate for a drink of water had to telephone the switchboard of the hospital he was being treated in to beg to see a doctor. Derek Sauter, 60, used his mobile phone to request medical attention after his pleas for help were ignored. But when the doctor arrived he was turned away by ward nurse Caroline Lowe, who said Mr Sauter was 'over-reacting' and threatened to confiscate his phone. Family man: Derek Sauter on holiday with his wife Susan - their daughter Ruth said she was appalled at the way he was treated Eight hours later the grandfather-of-three, who was suffering with a chest infection, was dead. Rather than offering sympathy to Susan, Mr Sauter's wife of 41 years, Miss Lowe later told her that he could have been prosecuted for harassing the doctor on call. Yesterday his daughter, Ruth Sauter, 42, said she was appalled at the way her father, a former administrator for the Healthcare Commission, the former NHS watchdog, had been let down by the NHS. Sacked: Caroline Lowe, the ward nurse, turned the doctor away who came to see Mr Sauter 'My father went into hospital for a routine chest infection, but never came out,' said Miss Sauter, of Thurrock, Essex. 'His condition was not life threatening and the nurses had specific instructions to keep close tabs on him. 'But their appalling lack of care, and cruel behaviour killed my father. He should not have died that weekend; it was not his time. 'It's so much worse knowing that he died alone, thirsty and scared on that ward.' Mr Sauter was admitted to Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup, in Kent, at 9am on June 27 2008. He was admitted to a ward and given intravenous antibiotics and oxygen, but at 8.30pm he telephoned Mrs Sauter, a midwife, in distress claiming nurses were refusing to give him any water because he had accidentally knocked over the first cup he had been given. A note scrawled by Mr Sauter and discovered by his family after his death said: 'Asked for a jug of water at 6pm and again at 8.30, told to wait for handover. Said I knocked cup of water on floor.' In another note Mr Sauter said he was 'getting depressed'. Some time between 9.30pm and 11.30pm Mr Sauter was moved to a side room where there was no monitoring equipment and, although he was supposed to be checked every four hours, no observations on his condition were made. At 11.35pm Mr Sauter, who had still not had any fluids, made his desperate call to the switchboard. The following morning, at 6.51am, a distressed Mr Sauter telephoned his wife to ask her to come back to the hospital. But he died of pneumonia brought on by the chest infection less than half an hour later - before Mrs Sauter, 60, arrived.

I'm trying to know as much about this subject as possible because it is such a controversial issue, I was reading about japans health care system, because someone told me that the rest of the world has free health care, but in japan, they have a choice of who they go to. If this bill gets passed will we really not be able to choose our doctor or which facility we got? and will we not get enough money for research and will our doctors be forced to use the lowest grade equipment? also i know that other countries use alternative medicine, so does their health care cover that? moreResolved Question: Would you vote for me?
Still a work in progress, but here it goes -National Gov.- Fiscal (Domestic) 13 % National Flat Tax States have the ability to levy any other form of taxes Fiscal (International) Congress has the ability to negotiate and set trade rules and restrictions against hostile countries. Vital products such as food and energy are subject to protectionists policies. No international trade organizations which would compromise this ability, though general principles of laissez faire capitalism would still be the rule, just not uncompromising law. -Foreign Affairs- NATO was designed with a specific purpose which has been completed, making it outdated, thus a new military alliance should be established to replace it, consisting of America’s fewer but truer allies. Reduce participation in international organizations and treaties. Pay back debt owned to other countries. -Health care- Since any blanket plan that covers a political region as diverse as the entire US would be inefficient, states have the sole ability to set up any system of healthcare (private or state government) for themselves, designed to meet any special needs or unique circumstances of the state. -Welfare- The form of such would be limited only to unemployment (which requires 7 resumes sent a week, and effort to regain a job), disability (those who physically or mentally can not work), or temporary welfare for those with jobs who encounter "bad times", the service lasting more than 6 months, no exceptions. General welfare will be replaced with workfare. Where the state provides jobs that are made for the unskilled and the work is generally unfavorable, consisting of manual labor, contract work, creating state use only items, or environmental work (city/beach clean up projects), pay would be based on results. There will also be more feminine related jobs for single mothers to participate in instead. Half the wages will be held by the state in an account for the participant once the individual leaves the program. ¼ of the wages will be paid to the state to supply shelter, food, water, as well as educational or skill based programs to the individual. The last ¼ is free for recreational use. Drug use is not permitted while on the program. -Social- Abortion, euthanasia, gay marriage, and other social items will be decided by the states via propositions -Crime- No automatic repeal in capital cases (you can still repeal for mistakes and flaws). Electrocution and other forms of punishment brought back and allowed if desired by the state, sentence carried out within 3 years after sentencing (for all new cases, not older ones). Length of incarceration for all non capital felonies need to be reduced, while removing TVs, weight training equipment, coffee, and any other luxury items that are not conducive to reducing recidivism. Saves money with fewer years of incarceration and less required commodities, the money saved can be pocketed or placed into rehabilitative programs. Establish a law enforcement agency that routinely patrols both borders and oceans. -Immigration- Ban on all immigrants who possess incurable infectious diseases or excessive/violent criminal records. To assure greater integration and to prevent societal marginalization of immigrants, proficient English is a requirement. Expand work visas for all law abiding and hard working immigrants. Increase the quota for Mexican immigrates. -MISC- Get the US back to a factory/industrial based economy, by whatever means possible.I didn't change or cut unemployment from what it is now, I have no current suggestions for any modifications for unemployment, so the current system that operates under Obama is what I would still operate under, until I can figure a more apporpirate meausre. I merely suggested a replacement of the welfare system. Please don't put words in my mouth. moreResolved Question: Hybrid health insurance system for the United States?
Disclaimer: First, I'm a physician from a third world country so I may not be 100% familiar with some of the problems/controversies that the US healthcare system has, but this is based on what I understand from the news reports On one side of the debate are the people who cant afford private insurance. * No treatment, we die. Simple On the other side are the people who are against universal health insurance. Their reasons are more complex like: * who's going to pay for it? more taxes probably * this will drive private insurance out of business * when government health insurance is a monopoly because private insurers are out of business, then it will not be inclined to improve itself because of lack of competition. what if it decides to enact harsh requirements to cut costs? If its a monopoly you have no alternative. Its too late I propose a hybrid healthcare system based on my own country's healthcare system. * There is some sort of universal or semi universal health insurance but private insurance still exists as a sort of upgrade or total replacement. If you can afford it and you want it you can purchase an "upgrade" * This universal health insurance still has a small annual fee * Visits to the doctor will be partially covered so you have to pay a small fee to the doctor when you visit the clinic. For patients that have to be confined in the hospital, the coverage is also partial so whats left is a small fee to be paid by the patient. This small fee exists so that the human psychological reaction of "its free, lets abuse it" wont happen. * how partial is partial coverage? Make it socialized. By default say only 50%. But you can ask to be re-classified, all dependent on your income. A social worker will investigate you and the amount you eventually pay will be dependent on your income. A rich guy pays a large percentage of his hospital bill but a homeless person only pays a few dollars. * There are 3 kinds of hospitals: "pay" and "charity" to use the terminology of my country. The 3rd category is "pay" hospitals that have a separate wing or building that is run as a "charity" hospital * Pay hospitals only accept people who either pay in cash or who have the "upgraded" private health insurance. As to their organization, infrastructure and the equipment, it would resemble a current run of the mill US hospital. * Charity hospitals pimarily cater to poorer people who do not have private health insurance and only rely on the government universal health insurance but they in theory will accept anyone even those who have private insurance and those who pay in cash because they are rich. * To reduce costs, some services in charity hospitals would be removed (like in no frills budget airlines). - In my country laparoscopic surgery is so expensive compared to the savings regained in productivity and shorter hospital stay so old fashioned open surgery might be standard but you would need to compute the cost/benefit ratio for your own situation. - Frills like airconditioning, TV and private rooms would go. Charity hospitals in my country have large wards with > 50 beds per ward, 2-3 nurses per ward, open to recieve fresh air and mosquito netting and bug zappers for mosquito control. Fresh air and electric fans would cool the patients in summer and if you have snow, then the windows would close and since the building is insulated, minimal heating is required. The ward would look like a US hospital in the 1920's or ww2. - Being ugly is not a health hazard so aesthetic surgery would not be covered. Reconstructive surgery would be covered of course. - Surgeons would use cheap nylon or silk sutures to close the skin. The trade off for lower price is a worse looking scar. But if you want a better looking scar then go to the pay hospital. - No more meals in bed so unless you are too weak to move, you eat in a self service cafeteria or ask a relative to fetch you the meal - since private doctors are expensive, residents (doctors in training) and nurses in training (they both have lower salaries) would primarily be used. Of course, each resident/nurse and each patient eventually has an experienced private doctor/nurse that oversees all the medical treatment. * the ICU should be more or less the same in pay and charity hospitals except maybe for a worse nurse/doctor to patient ratio With all the frills gone, there is a powerful incentive for people to work hard so they can buy private insurance. But no one dies because coverage can be universal. The money saved by removing the frills enables more poorer people to be treated so what do you think????* oh and to reduce costs, the number of beds and number of staff would be cut, so expect long lines in a charity hospitala british politician (an MP??) on fox news said that his country is stuck with universal health care because of beaurocratic inertia and. the people are now addicted to it and would rather riot in the streets than accept a total overhaul of their health system which would have good long term results but cause short term pain. That is why they cannot change, because the voters are dumb. moreResolved Question: Need to find employment in Springfield Missouri?
Hi my family and are moving to Missouri at the end of October. This is not up for debate, we have to move because of a sever medical allergy that my wife has. She is allergic to fire ants which are everywhere here in Texas. She got bit at the first of September and I watched her almost die in my arms. Anyway Missouri does not have these fire ants. This is the only thing she is allergic to. Anyway I need to find me a job, otherwise I will be forced to come back to Texas and leave the family in Missouri. I do not want to do this. Anyway here is my resume, if you know of any manufacturing, machine shop in the area that is looking for someone please let me know. I am also open to ideas. Here is my work history. EFCO Machine and Welding Shop Manual machine shop lead man. Job description As lead man of over the manual machine shop I work one on one with engineers from companies that we provide services to. I have direct contact with other customers that have parts in need of repair. In every case I discuss the best way to repair or to build what the customer needs. I design fixtures for the CNC production department. This is done by keeping two important things in mind, quality and cycle time. I conceive an idea; draw up prints for the parts that will be needed to make the fixture. I draw the prints using AutoCAD. I delegate work to employee’s if the employee’s are busy I will machine the parts myself. I perform the task needed using Drill presses, manual lathes, break presses, welding, CNC equipment, hydraulic press, AutoCAD, manual mill, and other hand tools. 1997-2001 Henley Healthcare ( no longer in business) Job title Fabrication department supervisor Supervised 18 employees. From a forecast I planned work for employees. Also served as quality control for the department. When I took the department over the quality of the parts and the rejects went down by 25%. I improved proscess to increase effeciency and quality. Machinery in department include manual mills, manual lathe, break presses, tubing bender, punch press, and welding. Set up maintenance schedules for all machinery in the plant to comply with ISO 9000 certification and made sure the schedules were carried out. Performed maintenance through the plant to include mechanical repair, electrical troubleshooting, plumbing, saws, painting, drywall and other. I maintained employee records for vacation, sick time and submitted weekly employee hours. I did all the purchasing of supplies for the department. I interviewed new employees and was also responsible for termination of employee’s if needed. 1996-1997 Manor Care Health Services Job title Maintance Director Performed maintenance for the nursing home facility to include, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, drywall, painting, and mechanical repair.

It seems that we are always ready to fight two or three wars back. We are never ready to fight in a way that makes sense today. Really it comes down to inertia, laziness, sloth, and lack of initiative. We appear to be 100% prepared to do some more Counter-Insurgency warfare, like we did in Vietnam, and lost, and like we did in Iraq, and that situation is still unresolved. But over-the-horizon warfare (aka behind the wire strategy) is just too hard for the Pentagon to get their minds around. They would rather just use their old manuals, from the 1970's or the 1990's. It's too hard to get the National Reconnaisance Office ramped up to support over the horizen warfare, and then blend in data from NSA and CIA, and feed it all into Battle Mountain. It's too hard to complete work on Dominator, which involve 16 Predators sharing data in real time on a neural network, and having overhead viewing of 400 miles by 400 miles. New contracts would have to be written. Officers with old skills would have to be let go. New officers, maybe trained by General Hayden would have to be brought in. It's very disruptive. Washington likes same old same old -- Let's keep the old equipment, the old techniques, the old people in place. Nobody's rice bowl gets broken, nobody's turf get infringed. We love the cashflow patterns just as they are. So let's just fight 1970's style warfare, which failed then, and is highly likely to fail now, but who cares as long as the cashflow channels are not disturbed in any way. Keep those old contracts in place, maybe add some Ospreys. Is it possible that US military doctrine cannot become more innovative and more responsive to the real time situation until 500 Generals are fired and retired and off in the nursing home? Would it be necessary to remove the top 12 layers of the Secretary of Defense Staff to get a new and different perspective in the Pentagon? Is there so much stoginess, deadwood, and leaden inertia in the Pentagon that we really are lucky they are fighting Vietnam again instead of WWII or WWI? Is the present strategy constructed so as to maximize the exposure of US troops the lethal danger while obtaining the least possible national security benefit for citizens of USA living in USA who pay the bills? Would an over-the-horizon (inside the wire) strategy reduce our troop exposure by 99% while increasing the tangible national security gains by 1000% for USA citizens living in USA who pay the bills? Is it appropriate to put the taxpayers first in waging war, or should all "military" efforts be focused on the general benefication of all mankind -- making the world a better place, with better nations, schools, healthcare, roads, wells, and agriculture? If the general benefication of all mankind is the goal, why not just send the proceeds of all taxes collected in USA directly to villagers in Afghanistan -- big suitcases of $100 bills, ....... oh ...... we're already doing that ..... OK, that's alright then. Thanks CIA, you're better than UPS, you get it there on time. Laziness -- is what's killing USA -- inertia -- the refusal to change old ways into new ones -- to learn new skills, to tear up old contracts and make new ones -- to disrupt the DOD applecart in any way. Convenience for DOD means fighting the 1970's and 1990's wars all over again. Never mind the outcome -- when has that ever made a difference to policy? Kabul is Hue City. Taliban is Charlie "Innocent Civilians" are ARVN Villages in Afghanistan are My Lai Our Footsoldiers are Cannon Fodder for the Military Industrial Inertia Sloth Greed Convenience Machine. Could we ever learn? If so when? Who is going to learn? Who is going to tell Barry? When will the Dithering cease -- the Deer in the Headlights of History? moreResolved Question: Did you know the new healthcare plan by the Finance Committee taxes device manufacturers $4 billion?
Better yet, do you know the reason why? Well it's pretty sneaky, really! Device manufactures make such thinks as EKG's, CAT Scanners, Lab Test Equipment, every surgical instrument ever made, x-ray, etc. And guess who pays for these devices? The patient. Each patient is charged a use fee based on all the devices in the room with the exception of major devices called "capital equipment." Those are billed in the service, such as MRI, CAT scanner, lab test, etc. And who are the patients? 80% are the already insured. IOW, 80% of the patients are going to pay for the taxes on the Device Manufacturers, which will help cover the uninsured that will be covered on the government plan. So you might ask yourself, "Why don't they just tax us instead?" Answer: "You would then know." They don't want you to know. This way, it is almost hidden and they can say they are not taxing you, but taxing those great big rich medical companies. The problem here, unlike the Pharmaceutical companies, most of the best Device Manufacturers are based right here in the USA. No we don't import devices from China or Japan yet, as we are the best at making these things... next best is the UK. Not China, not Japan, not India... only the USA. Believe me, that pacemaker inside your chest was most likely made by Medtronic (Minneapolis, MN), the world leader... ditto that stent that allowed you to avoid open heart surgery... the same products 120 other countries use. So what will our companies do that are taxed so much? Clearly they will sell and concentrate their efforts at locations that will make them the most money... IOW, outside the USA. And with each device, it is governed just like a drug so it goes through FDA testing. These are called "Trials." Many of our schools, doctors, and teaching hospitals are given grants by the device manufacturers to do these trials. Once concentrated in other countries, the dollars will go there and to their medical institutions. Isn't it a shame that a "Finance Committee" would screw us instead of control our/their finances. Folks, it is nothing more than a tax and will drive one of the few high technology companies that are still viable here in the USA into other countries. Who the heck is running the show here anyway?========== No mmm_soylentgreen... this is the real deal. Even a number of democrats are against this. Of course some of these are in states that employ a number of device manufacturing employees. I think what you'll see is a big concern about making it hard for manufacturing companies to compete, but the truth is that it's a sham to find some way to pay for this plan without most people knowing where it is coming from. Also understand that Device Manufacturers do not have the lobby that the Drug manufacturers do.========== http://www.medicaldevices.org/public/ moreResolved Question: Healthcare Proposal for all?
I would like to see what you all think about this HC proposal. I thought about it last night and (with some work) I think it could be a far superior option to everything currently being proposed because it addresses actual healthcare vs. insurance - plus we get something tangible from it. I am using the $1 Trillion figure, since it has been the most common amount proposed. - Build 500, $1 Billion hospitals and disperse amongst the states - major cities getting first priority because of population. - $500 Billion remaining - Employ 1000 person staffs @ $50K/ea X the 500 hospitals X 10 years = $250 Billion remaining - Since all equipment has been purchased in the initial $1B, use the $250B remainder of money for meds/etc ($50M/yr/hospital/X10yrs) that need to be purchased. Why I think it would work: - It would create 500 state of the art hospitals (I'm assuming a hospital costs less than a billion) - Make it available to everyone, with or without insurance - people with insurance will help to offset future price fluctuations. People without insurance can get assistance for free. But everyone would have access to the state of the art hospital and equipment. - It would serve as a high tech learning ground for (50,000) new/young doctors - who will be willing to sacrifice initial high salaries for an opportunity to use advanced machinery and help others. - The underprivaledged would have a place to go, while not tying up regular emergency rooms, and people with insurance can use their private practitioner just as they normally do. Thoughts? Needs work, but sounds viable in my mind - just haven't seen anything proposed like it.Raymond - I would certainly hope that a physician would tell you what you should be doing as an individual to improve your health... it would be up to the individual to make the necessary changes though - essentially the way it is. But you are correct.Joshua - The reason this came to my mind was that after the 10 proposed years are up in the current bills, whats next? We need another trillion. Maybe I'm wrong, but for what I said it at least appears that number would be cut in half, plus we would have 50K more doctors (perhaps 100K). moreResolved Question: Healthcare Proposal for all?

I know that there are several bills out there on healthcare, all of which have good points and bad points (from what I hear). I'm more of a foreign policy buff, but I figured I would start inching my way into the debate here. I downloaded and have been reading HR 3200, which is the bill that Fox News is out to kill (for whatever reason). So when I started reading it, I thought I would find some offensive stuff (I'm more of a financial conservative), but I have found nothing yet (it's like 1,000 pages, so I haven't read the whole thing yet) that has offended me or made me think for one minute that I wouldn't like the reforms brought about by this bill. Some key points I found in the bill itself (these are my notes): * Protects rights to keep currently held health insurance policies * Cannot discriminate based on pre-existing conditions * Limits the allowed methods of varying premiums * Prohibits discrimination in benefits * Requires parity in mental health and substance abuse disorder benefits * Ensures adequacy of provider networks * Mandates minimum coverage that includes hospitalization, outpatient hospital and clinic services (including ER visits), private practitioner services (regular doctor visits), supplies necessary for treatment, prescription drugs, rehab, mental health and substance abuse disorder services, preventive services, maternity care, well baby and well child care (oral, health, vision, and hearing services, equipment, and supplies for children under the age of 21) * Requires fair marketing practices by health insurers (uniform marketing standards) * Requires fair grievance and appeals mechanisms * Requires information transparency and accurate, timely plan disclosure using plain language * Mandates timely payment of claims by insurance companies * Creates a Health Insurance Exchange with Public Health Insurance option * Prohibits discrimination in healthcare not offered through exchange * Offers protections to whistleblowers * In order to ensure value and lower premiums, all group and individual coverage must meet a specified medical loss ratio * Ends health insurance rescission abuse, which prevents companies from abusing protections created to prevent fraud (companies unreasonably end coverage based on these protections) * Creates the opportunity for independent, external, third-party review in cases of rescission * Creates reinsurance program for retirees * Mandates affordability premium credits for individuals * “No federal payment for undocumented aliens.” * Notes that it is an individual’s responsibility to obtain healthcare * Outlines employer responsibilities should an employee choose to offer health insurance to its employees These are just a few of the more important points I have found thus far. From the figures I've heard, our government wastes more than $4 trillion on healthcare each year anyway, and that pretty much ANY new program would be less expensive (though a cost-neutral plan would be preferred to save taxpayer dollars). From what I've seen, any NEW bill would be better than the system we have now (though I don't think I would support universal healthcare and drastic changes to the health delivery system). Please give me YOUR OPINIONS on this issue, and please do not recite Fox News, MSNBC, or any other partisan hacks. If I want their opinions I could waste my time by watching their shows.Sorry about the wall of text, lol. hotnwell... Will definitely put something up if I find the death panels! lol ObamaCar... if you didn't notice the quotes... that is a direct quote from the bill... that's how i can say that.I see and hear everyday talk about death panels, socialized medicine, etc. attacks against Obama. The bill Obama supports and all the bills I've seen so far are not Universal Healthcare, so what is the socialization argument based on? It is sad that these scare tactics DO work on the American people, and it is even worse that you can easily view the bills yourself but everyone is too lazy. moreResolved Question: identify healthcare equipment that is operated by foot?

I'm going to put out a couple of my ideas and you put out yours and see what we all think. 1. Technological advances. We can deliver babies alive earlier and earlier. We can get previously infertile women pregnant. We have new scans, blood tests and a mapped genome which can look at any possible risk for just about every possible disease. 2. Obesity. 2/3 of Americans are considered overweight or obese. This puts an enormous strain on the health system. 3. Disease diagnosis. Just take a look at autism, for example, how many more kids are dx with it and then treated. ADHD, depression, cancer. We're dx far more liberally and earlier than ever before. 4. Healthcare waste. Red tape, hoops, referrals, rejections, CYA tests, overcharging for equipment, having to try a variety of drugs before finding the ones that work, etc. 5. Lobbyists. 6. Illegal immigrants using our facilities. 7. Patient demand for care. We have to have Viagra. We have to have Mirena. We are demanding pills for things which were either taken care of the hard way (change in diet and exercise), or we just suffered with because they were annoying but not necessarily life threatening. 8. Drug advances. We can grow longer thicker lashes thanks to a new medication. We can prevent dry eyes. We can not absorb fat we choose to consume. And on the less frivolous side we can lower cholesterol, ease pain, control our depressive thoughts and anxiety. What are some of your ideas? moreVoting Question: Democrat healthcare plan?

Ok since I need to ask a question to make this legit - here is my question - will you vote? Tough economic times may be making it harder for women to breastfeed? Yes! According to a recent ABC news story, one of the fall-outs from the recession is that some new mothers are feeling forced to take shorter maternity leaves due to concerns about finances and job stability. Unfortunately, women who have to cut their maternity leave short often can't continue to breastfeed their infants because many workplaces don't adequately support breastfeeding.2 That's a big problem when you consider that 56% of women with infants are now the in the labor force--we need common-sense workplace policies to make sure that moms who want to breastfeed can. Act now for nursing moms by urging your Member of Congress to support the Breastfeeding Promotion Act: Too many women are unable to breastfeed for the 6 months recommended by doctors and experts. This is often due to the fact that many workplace structures make this nearly impossible. While 74% of U.S. women breastfeed their infants at birth, only 12% are exclusively breastfeeding at six months as recommended by every major national and international medical authority.4 On average, rates of breastfeeding drop even lower for young and low-income mothers.5 Some mothers choose to stop breastfeeding but others don't have a choice. Many women who work outside the home face significant barriers or outright discrimination in their efforts to breastfeed. Even well-intentioned employers may be unaware about how to accommodate nursing moms, leaving women using sheets to cover up in cubicles, cramming into bathroom stalls with breast pumps, or even hiding out in dingy supply rooms just to pump breast milk for their babies. Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) recently introduced the Breastfeeding Promotion Act to support employers and nursing moms by: * Providing tax incentives for businesses that establish private lactation areas in the workplace; * Requiring employers to make reasonable efforts to provide appropriate space and break time for mothers to express milk; * Protecting breastfeeding women from being fired or discriminated against in the workplace; and * Allowing families to deduct the cost of breastfeeding equipment on their taxes, as is the case with other common medical expenses.6 Studies show that breastfeeding is good for babies, mothers and employers! Breastfed babies have a lower risk of infection, obesity, diabetes, and other health problems. This not only reduces a family's healthcare costs (and anguish), it also reduces costs (and workplace interruptions) for employers, given that mothers and fathers with healthier babies have to leave work less often to care them. 7 Voice your support for the Breastfeeding Promotion Act today: This link is easy - just click and answer a couple of questions.

When I asked why they did not use disposable mouthpieces (for pulmonary function tests) they got extremely offensive. Immunization and syringes were not properly handled (not in sterile environments), and were mass-filled and then "labelled" with post-it notes.

please let me know what u think of the opening and closing and other things overall let me know how it is. Some say Cell-phones must not be allowed in certain places, others believe we should be able to use our cells everywhere Many people believe that cell-phones should just be overall banned. While others (mostly teenagers) are absolutely addicted to them and see no harm. My personal opinion though is that cell-phones should just be used in emergencies and important business people only. The rest is unnecessary, and in some places should be banned for the safety of yourself and others. Using your cell while driving has already been banned and is now illegal. Personally I could not agree more. Many accidents happen because drivers are talking to their cells and aren’t paying enough attention. Research has shown that your brain cannot do everything at once, talking and listening while obeying traffic lights and avoiding accidents. John Hopkins says “ You need to put down the phone and focus because your brain can’t do everything at once”. Ever since the “no talking while driving” ban, many have bought headsets. True, that it is hand free and is allowed, but part of your mind will be on the customer you are talking to. The best advice is, ignore any calls you get while driving. Cell-phones should also be banned in classrooms. Over 560 schools across Toronto have banned students using cell phones anywhere on school property. This is because cell phones are gadgets to cheating, annoyance in class, and disruption. Many teachers find that students are sharing answers through text during a test, or just simply texting each other in class. Personally I think banning cell-phones on school property is unnecessary. If they say no to cell on school property, then this should go out to teachers and the principal too. I think that cell-phones should be allowed in school, incase of a emergency but turned off. Those who get caught using them, should just receive concequences. Another important place where you shouldn’t use your cell phone is in hospitals. This is because studies have shown that the cell-phones could interfere with hospital equiptments. An article on healthcare says “Dutch studies shows radiation from data enabled cell phones can interfere with critical hospital equipments from as far as three meters”. Cell phones also interfere with PaceMakers as well. They don’t always affect these things, but still doctors don’t want to take the chance. That is why it is always better to step outside the hospital when you are using your cell. Overall it is always better to be safe than sorry. Cell phones only need to be used in emergencies. It would not hurt to follow rules and respect them for where cell phones are not allowed. It is always you choice to make if you want to be safe and out of trouble. moreResolved Question: army invading hospitals? what do you think of this?
if i was lying in a hospital bed and the doctor started to speak about bomming the cancer and ripping out the enemy of the patiant i would be scared. what do you think and what are your toughts on this artic in the times??? http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/health/2009/0113/1231738219539.html if you cant access it ive copy and pasted it. arnt i a nace man LOL so any way what are your toughts??? MEDICAL MATTERS: Do terms like ‘killer cells’ and ‘vaccine shots’ actually help the patient? asks MUIRIS HOUSTON TONY GREGORY, the long-serving Dublin independent TD, has rightly been the subject of many news reports and obituaries marking his passing. But I wonder how comfortable he would have been with some of the military language used to describe his experience of cancer? “Gregory loses long battle with cancer” and “he fought bravely till the end” are the sort of cliched phrases that rolled off the presses and criss- crossed the airways when the TD died after a long illness. Gregory will be best remembered for his pioneering work against substance abuse in deprived areas of our capital. In a tribute, the North Inner City Local Drugs Task Force’s Joe Barry said: “Tony Gregory led the way in relation to our country’s efforts to tackle drug misuse and has proved an inspiration to all working to improve the lives of individuals, families and communities most seriously affected by drugs.” What makes this tribute stand out is the lack of military language used to describe Gregory’s contribution to the drugs issue. Between the war on terrorism and the battle against drugs, the rhetoric of war is firmly rooted in the lexicon of the 21st century. And it has crept into healthcare too: we read of the “collateral damage” of chemotherapy to describe the side effects of cancer treatments. Yet the term is defined by the US army as “the unintentional damage or incidental damage affecting facilities, equipment or personnel occurring as a result of military action directed against targeted enemy forces or facilities”. How did we get from this to: “A new strategy in the war on renal cell cancer: hitting multiple targets with limited collateral damage” – the title of a 2008 research paper. Perhaps the author succumbed to the temptation to use military jargon to spruce up his manuscript. Clearly military life cannot be distanced from the rest of the world, but do we really need terms like “killer cells” and “vaccine shots” when talking to patients? I worry about the effect of such language on patients. We ask them to “beat” illness and to “keep up the good fight”. Doctors talk of building up the person’s “resistance” and of prescribing “magic bullets” to kill off cancer cells, all of which may suit those with determined personalities. But what of the meek, the mild or those who are depressed? They may be neither inclined nor able to respond to exhortations to fight back. And unable to respond, it is possible that certain people will feel they have “failed” themselves, their families and their medical team. What about the notion that engaging a fighting spirit will protect you against a cancer recurrence? A large UK study suggests this is a fallacy: a long-term follow-up of cancer patients at the Royal Marsden Hospital found that a high fighting spirit confers no survival advantage on those who displayed extreme fortitude. There are alternative approaches when we face serious illness. One of the best is to view the process as a journey. There will be bumps along the road; some parts will be downhill while others will take more effort. The journey will offer alternative routes and it may be appropriate at times to rest a while. Another advantage of the journey analogy is that you can take a travelling companion with you. Tony Gregory died at St Francis Hospice on Dublin’s north side. I suspect he was facilitated on his final journey by the wide range of health professionals who work there. After all, the word hospice is derived from the Latin, hospes, and it originally referred to the tradition of giving shelter to those on a journey. George Orwell wrote about the powerful role of words. “Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent,” he said. His advice is especially apposite when it comes to the use of military jargon in healthcare. I’d like to think Tony Gregory would approve.

I think that a lot of the problem with the healthcare system in America is that the costs are out of control. The management has been hijacked by greedy corporate types with MBA's. The healthcare industry has been hiring when other industries have been suffering and laying off. Most people who used to work at McDonald's go take a class and work at a hospital or nursing home. Hospitals have so much expensive equipment, some that cost MILLIONS. Yet, if you don't have decent health insurance or any health insurance, most patients get charged exorbitant prices for their care! Why should anyone have to go into serious debt for care? It seems like the executives of these hospitals are taking advantage of the situation and extorting people! This is why they can hire all sorts of people, even the dregs of society, and buy all kinds of machines! What's worse, the pharmaceutical industry hikes up their costs by using their drug rep minions to buy expensive lunches, dinners and outings for doctors to bribe them! That is outrageous! I used to work at a restaurant and whenever I needed to charge a rep extra, they didn't care, they'd tell me to put on a huge tip too! All that BS about needing to keep patents in order to recoup the costs of researching the drug are total garbage! I think hospitals and drug companies need to get their costs in line! Every other industry has had to, why not the medical industry? moreVoting Question: I know this is kind of long put I really need help with this accounting problem. ?
Lester's Home Healthcare Services (LHHS) was organized on January 1, 2005, by four friends. Each organizer invested $10,000 in the company and, in turn, was issued 8,000 shares of stock. To date, they are the only stockholders. During the first month (January 2005), the company had the following six events: a. Collected a total of $40,000 from the organizers and, in turn, issued the shares of stock. b. Purchased a building for $65,000, equipment for $16,000, and three acres of land for $12,000; paid $13,000 in cash and signed a note for the balance, which is due to be paid in 15 years. c. One stockholder reported to the company that 500 shares of his Lester's stock had been sold and transferred to another stockholder for $5,000 cash. d. Purchased supplies for $3,000 cash. e. Sold one acre of land for $4,000 cash to another company f. Lent one of the shareholders $5,000 for moving costs, receiving a signed six-month note from the shareholder. 1. Was Lester's Home Healthcare Services organized as a partnership or corporation? Explain the basis for your answer. 2. During the first month, the records of the company were inadequate. You were asked to prepare the summary of the preceding transactions. To develop a quick assessment of their economic effects on Lester's Home Healthcare Services, you have decided to complete the spreadsheet that follows and to use plus (+) for increases and minus (-) for decreases for each account. The first transaction is used as an example. 3. Did you include the transaction between the two stockholders—event c—in the spreadsheet? Why 4. Based only on the completed spreadsheet, provide the following amounts (show computations): a. Total assets at the end of the month. b. Total liabilities at the end of the month. c. Total stockholders' equity at the end of the month. d. Cash balance at the end of the month. e. Total current assets at the end of the month. 5. As of January 31, 2005, has the financing for LHHS'S investment in assets primarily come from liabilities or stockholders' equity? moreResolved Question: Who is more for the troops/veteran's rights - Obama or McCain?
The following statistics are the facts. My sources are below. Don't vote with your gut - vote with your BRAIN. 1. McCain only voted to supprt legislation for the Disabled American Veterans 34% of the time; Obama supported them 89% of the time. 2. McCain only voted to support legislation for the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America 58% of the time and received a "D" rating; Obama supported them 89% of the time and received a "B+" rating. 3. In April 2003 McCain urged Senate members to table a vote that would appropriate more than $1 billion for National Guard and Reserve Equipment in Iraq. 4. In October of 2003 once again McCain voted to table a bill that called for an additional $322 million for safety equipment for United States forces in Iraq. 5. Since 2004 McCain has voted twice against closing corporate tax loopholes to help fund healthcare for veterans. (I find this vote to be especially interesting.) 6. In March 2004 Senator McCain voted against an amendment that would have created a $1.8 billion reserve fund to increase Veteran's medical care. 7. Again in March 2006 McCain voted against an amendment to close corporate tax loopholes in order to increase veterans' medical services funding by $1.5 billion. 8. In April 2006 McCain joined only 13 other senators in voting against an amendment to increase funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs for outpatient care and treatment of veterans. This amendment provided a paltry $430 million compared to the billions of dollars being spent each week in Iraq. 9. In Sept. 2007, McCain voted against Virginia Sen. Jim Webb's bill to guarantee troops minimum rest periods between deployments. 10. Most recently in May of 2008 McCain spoke out against the updated GI Bill being sponsored by Virginia Sen. Jim Webb. 10. President Bush praised McCain for his work on this legislation. 11. There was little to no mention of actual Veterans Care at the RNC or in his speech. 12. The first photo that John McCain stood in front of at the RNC was not Walter Reed Army Medical Center, but instead Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood, California. Although John McCain was not a part of this awful mistake, he has knowledge of and didn't object to standing in front of the Army Ctr. despite the fact that he voted against closing tax loopholes to help fund military hospitals like Walter Reed. 13. McCain claimed to have a 100% voting record from organizations such as Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion - BOTH organizations DO NOT, in fact, compile congressional voting records, therefore this was a misleading, if not entirely false statement. 14. McCain used fake stock photos of soldiers in his RNC video. While this is much less important than his voting records, it is interesting to note considering the video was likely meant to elicit real feelings and emotions of patriotism. You can argue that he should have at least used the real thing. Don't the following statistics make you question McCain's real interests in putting Country First? ...and I don't want to hear any crap about other things that Obama has done...whatever...I WANT YOUR OPINIONS ON THESE PARTICULAR FACTS. SOURCES: http://www.votesmart.org/issue_rating_category.php?can_id=53270&type=category&category= - this shows John McCain's voting record. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/04/cbsnews_investigates/main4415886.shtml - this article investigates the fake RNC photos http://www.vetvoice.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=1854 - Walter Reed mishap http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00007 - McCain's nay for vet health needs bill. clearly I have done research...I see the point of special interests being attached etc etc...but still...this is quite a laundry list of things McCain hasn't done or has done wrong in this...that is why he rarely speaks of what he has done for troops other than serving. moreResolved Question: Personal fitness can you help me please.?

taxpayers' money ? An eminent British neuro-surgeon has been performing complex brain operations using a £30 do-it-yourself cordless power drill at a clinic in Ukraine. Henry Marsh, a senior consultant at St George’s hospital in Tooting, south London, has used the Bosch 9.6 volt battery-operated hand tool to open up the skulls of his patients to remove life-threatening tumours. Occasionally the battery has gone flat halfway through. The operation is performed with the patients fully awake – a technique that fell out of use in Britain 50 years ago. Marsh said that Ukrainians could withstand such a practice because they were “very tough”. The 58-year-old consultant travels to Ukraine twice a year to perform free operations at a clinic run by a fellow surgeon, Igor Petrovich. The handyman drill was used because the local doctors could not afford state-of-the-art equipment. When working for the National Health Service, Marsh uses a £30,000 compressed-air medical drill, but he said that the Bosch was an effective stand-in. “There’s not a huge difference,” he said. “The drill is Igor’s solution. It’s simply an ordinary drill which he uses with the standard medical drill bits. “I have used the Bosch drill myself when I’ve been operating with Igor. It’s exactly the drill that you could have in your garden shed. He bought it at a do-it-yourself shop.” There is a shortage of fully trained anaesthetists so Marsh’s patients are given only a local anaesthetic. This enables him to talk to them to ensure that he is not doing any permanent damage as he drills.

NHS patients told to treat themselves Millions of people with arthritis, asthma and even heart failure will be urged to treat themselves as part of a Government plan to save billions of pounds from the NHS budget.

The guidelines could mean people with chronic conditions: • Monitoring their own heart activity, blood pressure and lung capacity using equipment installed in the home • Reporting medical information to doctors remotely by telephone or computer • Administering their own drugs and other treatment to "manage pain" and assessing the significance of changes in their condition • Using relaxation techniques to relieve stress and avoid "panic" visits to emergency wards. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/01/02/nhs102.xml moreResolved Question: Does anyone know a healthcare worker who has C Diff or MRSA?
