Politics & Government - 11 November 2006

Who's responsibility to create a foreign policy and enforce the protection of American citizens....the President and his Cabinet or Congress. I've read some answers here that say the new Congress is responsible for fixing Katrina, solving the Iraq Conflict, and solving our energy problems...The Congress sets law, but is their only function after making laws the oversight we have heard is so lacking lately?

In the U.S., health care costs are getting so high that some businesses and insurance companies are starting to eye the potential savings of outsourcing health care.

"It's just one of the many ways in which our world is flattening," said Arnold Milstein, chief physician at New York-based Mercer Health & Benefits who's researching the feasibility of outsourcing medical care for three Fortune 500 corporations. "Many companies see it as a natural extension of the competition they've faced in other aspects of their business."

Blue Shield of California and Health Net of California is now offering lower-cost policies allowing members to seek medical care in Mexico. Florida-based United Group Programs, which sells self-insurance policies to small businesses, offers a plan that sends patients to Bumrungrad International hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. It says the plan will save employers more than 50 percent on major medical costs and slash employees' out-of-pocket expenses to zero.

I consider myself a moderate and I'm tired of liberal/conservative people messing up our country. Conservatives are mostly a bunch of greedy war mongers that have tried to convince people their beliefs are the only moral choice. Liberals are a bunch of whiney bums that criticize, but offer little to no solutions. Do you agree?

Then the next week he said that he and Rumsfeld decided to change leadership. A lie? Or a 'flip flop'?

I believe my ex is harassing me by sending letters with an attorney's contact information down the street from me. There is no letterhead on any of the letters and the envelope I receive the letters in are typed and cheap enough as if from a typewriter. The paper is cheap and of low quality, as is the various different fonts used throughout the letters. The signature looks exactly like my ex's handwriting also. The letters don 't look professional at all, and wouldn't there be letterhead or a company insignia somewhere? My attorney has it on his. Typing an attorney's name in bold and centering it at the top doesn't count for letterhead.
What's a sly way I can find out if he is impersonating an attorney? A friend said I could just call and ask the secretary if they always use letterhead when they send out letters. I would like to get a letter from their firm though somehow that has letterhead on it.

I work for a large warehouse chain and have found that I'm the one with the lowest wage in my department, yet only one with the real qualifications in my department. Other departments they have hired people that had my qualification and started them off at two dollars a hour more. I've talked to human resources, even the store manager. They say sorry, it had to be negotiated when I was hired. I was told I would have a review in three months, so I thought I would be able to get a better wage then when they saw I was a good worker and a expert in my field. I believe I was descriminated against because of age and sex, but can't prove it, is the reason of the lower wage. Is their anything I can do legally? It's a right to work state.

The "citation" has a section that says "WITHOUT ADMITTING GUILT, I promise to comply with the terms of this Ticket and Release." Then it has the word Signature and then a big X followed by a line where I'm supposed to sign. My last speeding ticket I signed it, but this one I wasn't made too. Can I get out of this on a technicality?

Everyone knows as soon as the Dems win control of the House who the speaker will be. We also know who will be in charge of the various committees. How are these selections made? Who decides? It doesn't seem like a vote, since they all know ahead of time. Fill me in on this please.
