Insurance Groups spend YOUR money trying to get an exemption from the new health care bills so they can KEEP your money in THEIR pockets!!!
The Self-Insurance Institute of America Inc., which represents smaller firms that provide coverage to their workers, wrote to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid this week arguing that its members’ plans should be left alone in the push to expand coverage.
Ferguson’s group has poured more than $600,000 into lobbying Congress over the past two years, doubling its spending this year as it has intensified its push to resist new requirements. Large members of the National Coalition on Benefits have shelled out much more to influence Capitol Hill, including more than $20 million by the Business Roundtable, more than $9.5 million by the National Association of Manufacturers and $1.6 million by the American Benefits Council.
So you REALLY think they have YOUR interests at heart??
so they can keep things as they are and continue ripping people off and paying themselfs bonuses
Matches made in HELL!!

I am a retired Detective and when I was on the job we used to refer to the ACLU as the " American Criminal Liberties Union ".

For a start, none of them are qualified economists, interest rates are set independently by the reserve bank, and the dollar’s value is determined by the market.
The Labour team knows as much about managing the economy as the Coalition did when they got into power. The difference is, the Government is currently being irresponsible with OUR money by trying to buy our vote. Giving exorbitant tax cuts will only fuel inflation and minimise the funds available for important areas the Government has neglected, such as Health and Education.
And lets not forget that it was a Labour government that initiated the changes to economic policy that have brought down interest rates, held off inflation and increased the value of the dollar.
Australians need to stop listening to the Government’s political rhetoric and analyse the facts for themselves. If people do this, and do not fall into the Government’s "fear of change" campaign, I think they are likely to see a need for new Leadership.
Sadly too many people are way TOO lazy to analyse anything about the Election.
You’ correct in saying that all have the same aptitude. Gee, how good is the current Govt in working out the Budget when they keep coming up with these massive, out of the blue, surpluses?
Great money managers! Wish I was so good at finding squillions of dollars that I’d forgotten about.
Anyone old enough will recall Johnnies abysmal record as Treasurer in the previous Liberal Government. He’s a real champ isn’t he!!
The Democratic Senators and Congressmen can well choose to ignore polls. Polls go up. Polls go down. They may figure that the public will have moved on by the time they run for re-election, particularly those Senators who are not up in 2010. With four or six years to go in their terms, they can afford a relaxed view of polling data.
But the Democratic Party as a whole cannot afford to ignore a massive defection in the ranks of the elderly, one of its key building blocks. Ever since the New Deal coalition was cobbled together by FDR, the elderly have been a major component. Worried about Republican designs on their Social Security, they vote overwhelmingly Democratic.
But the Obama proposals, which many see correctly as a major cut in Medicare, might be seminal in driving them en masse away from the Democrats.
The Democratic Party is built on six pillars — blacks, Latinos, single women, young people, union members, and the elderly. If legislation threatens one of those pillars, it threatens the stability of the entire partisan structure. And Obama’s health care reform seems to do just that.
With 40% of the savings in medical spending coming from Medicare, the senior citizens of America are coming to see the Obama proposals as an assault on their health care system. Since their needs are fully met by Medicare, they see no need for monkeying with the system and are highly suspicious of any changes. When they watch as their fellow seniors attend town meetings to protest to their Congressmen about these cuts and are labeled "un-American" for their pains, their alienation from the Democrats just grows.
The fissure Obama is driving between his party and the elderly will not soon heal. When the elderly change their voting habits, they tend to do so for a very, very long time. Even Senators who are up in
2012 or 2014 should worry that their votes for the Obama plan could doom their ability to attract elderly support.
As to the young people who back the plan, once they learn that they will have to pay steep premiums for health care coverage, whether they want to or not, their support is likely to cool. Under the bill, for example, those making $30,000 a year would have to pay up to 7% of their income in health insurance premiums before they could get a government subsidy. A $2,100 bill for such a young person might seem affordable to Obama, but perhaps not to them. Thus, the legislation may well come to be seen as a tax on the young, another of the key constituencies of the Democratic Party.
The cost of Obama’s health care changes just keeps growing — financially and politically.
True? Yes.
Isn’t it interesting that Obama ran on the promise of "change" and that no one in the media asked "change in what and to what" and now he wants to control 14% of our economy? Any opposition to this is branded "Republican right wing" opposition, but, in many cases it is just senior citizens interested in what will happen to them.
How can the people of Massachusetts live with themselves as they keep electing Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy and John Kerry? Well, I guess there is some California in them.

(question continued) the Coalition for a Chemical Free Environment?
A. is this information being used to advocate a point of view?
B. where was this information being published?
C. what’s the citation information?
D. how can i obtain copies of this article?
I would say all of the above. All of this information is needed to determine if there could be bias. If I had to chose one answer I would chose D 1st then A. I say that because a careful researcher will want to read the actual paper and not what someone else says that it says.
This is the first part of presentation Leo gave at the public Workshop held by the CEC to discuss the enlargement of the Chula Vista peaker plant.
