For those who prefer simple diction and syntax, we recommend the opinion pages of the NY <i>Post</i>.<br /><br />Yes, in a habit of extreme selfishness, we blog for our own amusement and invite others to join us in the fun. For those who don't find the fun, well, we think there are other pages on this newfangled Internet thingie.Jon A. Alfred E. Michael J. Wile E.

Much needs to be done to keep them in check but not by artificially lowering the bill but emphasizing prevention. <br /><br />If I hear one more fat, smoking idiot complain about the cost of his pills my head will spin off. If President Obama is serious about lowering the cost of healthcare he'll spend billions on public pools for lower cost rehab, cardiac, arthritic, obesity, lung, and quality of lief issues or maybe allow insurance companies to penalize smokers, the obese, and the non-compliant. <br /> Another issue is that a large percentage of the uninsured are undocumented immigrants. (Insurance companies are a lot more strict in checking backgrounds that most federal agencies-due to high levels of fraud) In countries like France you can't see a doctor until your paperwork is in order. Covering everyone still won't cover undocumented immigrants if we adopt a similar model. Another large percentage are college students and while some States require it some do not. I'm not real worried about the college students. As someone who has worked with immigrants for years, I was saddened by his lack of insight on the immigration issue. He seems to be using their numbers to further his political agenda rather than actually help them.jdpowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871691968765109263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15405788.post-82596682048341245592009-07-08T23:57:31.198-04:002009-07-08T23:57:31.198-04:00Anon2 says - annoying style but always a good read...Anon2 says - annoying style but always a good read - like Jim Rome - give it two weeks - it will grow on you....though I must say Rome's show is quite annoying wheras Wiley E. at least discusses realtime issues of concernAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15405788.post-29060367334887419582009-07-07T19:02:40.140-04:002009-07-07T19:02:40.140-04:00modest blogs have no readers.modest blogs have no readers.Bryan Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06571780870560590747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15405788.post-29869801191377089912009-07-07T09:51:34.740-04:002009-07-07T09:51:34.740-04:00The style is refreshing, witty and fun.
