Re: Is health care "reform" scaring away good doctPosted By Pete Brayton |
The IBD story showing that 45% of doctors would quit if Obama's healthcare plan was passed was actually more of an editorial based on a poorly executed survey of a relatively small amount of doctors. First it was a mail-in response poll, which generally is only completed by people who really have strong opinions, but are generally not regarded as being very accurate. Roughly 25,000 surveys were sent out with a return rate of about 5%. I read the survey questions and they were written in such a way as to generate a negative response. By the way, the survey was sent out in August of 2009. Another study done by the New England Journal of Medicine gives a more moderated view of doctors' opinions of Obama's healthcare plan.

Hope and Change in IndiaPosted By Pete Brayton |
So would this be more evidence of the wonderful health insurance companies and all of the good that they do for us? You know, like outsourcing their work to other countries instead of putting Americans to work. I'm so glad that we've been protecting their bottom lines. Also, last week there was an article in the Denver Post about some insurance companies already planning on screwing children with pre-existing conditions by not dropping the kids from their parents insurance policies, BUT they would not cover specific things for the children like diabetes and cancer treatment. Got love those insurance companies!

"The bulge in [health care reform's] administrative work may look like a nightmare to American insurance firms and government employees. But to outsourcing executives here in India, it’s heaven-sent. A number of Indian companies are already anticipating an increase in workload thanks to Obama's healthcare law...This extra work will include processing new enrollments, organizing bigger member databases, processing more claims, providing more support services, and managing more revenue, he says...a recent Deloitte Center for Health Solutions study [shows] that up to 41 percent of the cost of a health plan is administrative...The US healthcare reform offers a "natural extension" of the back-office outsourcing that Indian companies already specialize in..."

Senate majority leader at his best...Posted By Pete Brayton |
Can you provide the source of these quotes?
Mike Strieber said:
"In one of the stranger moments on the campaign trail today, an audience member at Comma Coffee in Carson City asked U.S. Sen. Harry Reid what he is doing to encourage immigrant women of child-bearing age to come to the United States."
"Let me answer it this way: I'm not opposed to sex," he said to a few moments of silence before the crowd began laughing."
"Reid then gave a shout out to Tiger Woods, who is attempting a come back after being caught philandering."
Just another example of why Harry Reid needs to go. The personality of a sea urchin combined with the faculties of vegetable. Any wonder why he's behind in the polls to everyone from five republican candidates to Charles Manson?
