True colors? It should be obvious to all from my many posts I'm no Republican! I despise those who were in power for eight years as much as many of you despise the current government administration. I welcome reasonable discussion, facts, worthy opinions not based on any one political party or the other. I do not blindly support ANY political party, but will decide for myself where I stand on the individual issues.
Don't know much about that Hawaii Gov health plan for CHILDREN you speak off, Ralphy. Don't have any kids it applied to. As I understand it though, it didn't "go broke". It was shut down because to many people were abusing it, the system. That tell's me the Hawaii Gov responded in a timely manner to a program that was poorly designed to stop fraud.
ANY current National Health reform program runs a similiar risk. We won't really have a handle on it (in terms of fraud, abuse, etc.) until it's implemented. The key will be the Fed Gov being able to respond in a timely manner to "plug the inevitable leaks".
The recent exposes about Medicare fraud are an important indicator of how the Feds may address current and future abuse in that regard. A good place to start, for health care reform, would be a "war on Medicare fraud" as intense as the war on drugs or terrorism!
Z, it's the
oil pan bolts!
That's what it was on my FE.
