For several years when I took my children to the doctor for a common ear infection or a cold that I knew needed an antibiotic it drove me crazy that I would get the physicians assistant instead of the doctor!
In fact I really could not tell you what the doctor looks like ....I have never seen the man!

Luckily for us my husbands company was bought out and the new insurance allows us quite a few more options for medical care!

Has anyone else had this experience?

I didn't think I or my insurance company should have to pay $100 to see the doctor when we actually didn't "see" the doctor!

I ignored letters from what I now think were for jury duty. Now I heard that I may have a warrant issued for my arrest. Why would they summon me again after I didn't go the first time? And, what should I do now?

No one ever came after me.

WASHINGTON - Members of the 110th Congress consider yourselves warned: Mike Rogers is making his list.
Rogers is a muckraking gay blogger who uses his insider's knowledge of Washington politics and broad blanket of contacts to "out" gay politicos — but only, he says, if they are undermining gay rights. Critics call his tactics divisive and politically motivated.
He's outed so many closeted gay politicos, he's starting to make Capitol Hill look like Brokeback Mountain. All of them, he says, use their positions to actively oppose the equal rights of gay citizens while at the same time, secretly live a gay life.

Is it okay to be gay yet be against gay marriage? This man is ruining careers because he doesn't think so.

1) How much would the reserves pay for a E-2 or E-3?
2) How good is the medical insurance? What about for spouses? How much do you pay monthly?
3) What are the chances of being called into active duty?
4) And what is the time committment?

My fiance is thinking about doing the reserves. I just want to get some details down, although we are going to speak with a recruiter soon. Any help is appreciated. Thanks all!

Nobody can claim that Western foreign policy is perfect in regards to the Middle East, in fact sometimes it's just plain stupid. Yet we don't intentionally target civilians when we go to war. We fight governments, soldiers and lately terrorists which despite what some people say, are not soldiers in the traditional form and therefore the Geneva convention does not apply to them. I supported Afghanistan yet am against Iraq. So unlike some people who think we are right in everything we do I know we are not. Yet the one thing all of us in the West can agree on is that we don't intentionally target civilians. Yes civilians die in war it's a fact of life, but unlike the common terrorist we don't see civilians as having targets painted on their backs. People often bad mouth Israel and sometimes it is justified, but I am yet to see an Israeli strap a bomb to their chest and walk into a cafe. They target the men with guns and bombs, not a family sitting down for a cup of coffee. Your views?

A recent study of the top 15 medical professional liability insurers completed by the former Missouri Insurance Commissioner found that there is NO CRISIS.

Instead, it found that insurers have lied to the American public and price-gouged doctors by artificially raising their premiums. And the Bush administration has willingly gone along with the lie, touting a "malpractice crisis".

-The medical malpractice insurers saw losses and projected losses plummet by 48% over the period 2003-2006.
-These incurred losses have declined every year for the past five years.
-These insurers’ 2006 surplus is 43% greater than their surplus in 2003 – five times the state-minimum surplus for insurer stability.

So once again, the corporate big business machine and the Bush administration have BAMBOOZLED a gullible American public into thinking there's some crisis when THE TRUTH IS THAT THE INSURERS THEMSELVES ARE THE ONES CREATING THE "CRISIS".

and that our policies actually cause more poverty?

Ever notice how they never provide the evidence to back it up?

In fact, the opposite is true. People tend to rise out of poverty faster then Democrats run the country.

Here is the percentage point change in poverty for various presidents:

FDR N/A
JFK/LBJ -9.40
CLINTON -3.50
REAGAN +0.00
BUSH SR +1.80 (88' to 92')
BUSH JR +1.30 (00' to 05')

Would President Bush have brought the troops home then or would he, in his stubborness, have demanded they stay thus sacrificing nearly our entire army?

What government does about global warming... That is a political issue.

Whether man made global warming is happening is up to the scientists engaged in geologic, climatic, and meteorologic research. Political pundits don't get a vote. The scientific consensus is established through observation, experimentation, modeling, and PEER REVIEW. Peer review means that scientists publish their work in scientific journals. Other scientists review their work and try to replicate results. If results cannot be duplicated the theory is debunked. That's the way it works.

So when somebody proves the vast majority of scientists engaged in climatic, meteorologic, and geological research support man made global warming, it means something.

Cons say consensus proves nothing. The fact is that concensus based on the EVIDENCE does.

...any time past the second Tuesday in November?

Since when has any 'poor' person gotten ahead with Democrats in charge without just getting a hike in their welfare(welfare: code for stealing from middle class people that work and giving it to people who don't care enough to better themselves).

Do you really think Hillary, Edwards, and Gore would stand in line with the rest of us to get our rations? No, They will be first in line to take ten times their needs then leave us 'paupers' half of what we need.
