Bush says.."too much money for child health' ???? What a monster of a Prez we have. Billions spent on war, no end in sight, but he vetoes increased funding for children.

White people have been targeted many years for their fine cocaine. Are the cops just jealous of her? Ted Bundy got executed just because he was white and smart. Cops framed Jeffrey Dahmer because he was white and had a 'stache that even the police themselves couldn't beat, we all know that. I'm being sarcastic, hint hint.

A 71 year old woman released from hospital suffering from Angina, clots around the heart. They said she was well enough to go home where she has no support. She cannot get out at all. There is no food in the house and it is cold and damp. Is this acceptable? According to our local hospital, because a neighbour has said she will do the shopping she has support.
This lady is very confused. She threw all the newly bought food out of her freezer because she thought it was bad. The hospital has refused to put her forward for home assessment as she can wash herself!!
Now it is up to neighbours who have lives of their own, jobs, children etc. to take on the caring role with no training or support.
Is this normal or acceptable?

Democrats say that we shouldn’t worry about the cost of their bill to expand the State Children’s Health Insurance Program. They say that we will spend less on S-CHIP all year than we spend on Iraq in one month. That’s true, in the short run. But the Iraq War will one day end. A new entitlement won’t. Instead, it will grow and grow.
Future fiscal crises are built into the design of S-CHIP. It is funded through cigarette taxes, and will be underfunded to the extent that those taxes succeed in discouraging smoking. But that’s the least of the program’s flaws. Under the Democrats’ bill, states will be able to expand benefits and stick the federal government with two-thirds of the tab. The Medicaid program shows us how these incentives will work. Benefits will expand. When times are good, governors and state legislators will be able to offer voters $3 in services for every $1 in state taxes. When times are bad, the politicians will suddenly discover that they have to cut services by $3 for every $1 in savings.
Rich blue states will spend the most, and thus get the most federal dollars. Half of all Medicaid spending goes to nine states. Republican congressmen who voted for the S-CHIP bill are voting to transfer money from red states to blue ones.
They’re also voting for high marginal tax rates on the poor. S-CHIP, in combination with other federal programs, creates a poverty trap: Many people will find that, if they get ahead, their benefits will fall and they’ll be left behind where they started.
Expanding S-CHIP will get coverage to some children who would not otherwise have had it. Although there is little evidence that this is a cost-effective way to improve children’s health, presumably some of these kids will be able to have better preventive care. Other kids, however, will lose their private insurance and end up with worse coverage.
Insurance is unaffordable in some of the states that most want to see S-CHIP expanded. But that’s the result of those states’ own regulations. New Jersey’s insurance prices are higher than Pennsylvania’s not because of act of God, but because of acts of the New Jersey legislature.
Congressional Republicans—and especially the Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee—should have tried to reduce the regulatory obstacles to buying affordable health insurance. They should have pushed to let consumers buy insurance from out of state, thus bypassing the types of regulations that New Jersey has enacted. Or they could have forced Democrats to end the tax penalty on individually purchased insurance if they wanted any S-CHIP expansion at all.
The leading Republican on the committee, Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, instead capitulated. He said that, while he supports free-market reforms, it is unrealistic to expect this Congress to approve them. It is a pathetic excuse: He should have told his Democratic colleagues that it is unrealistic to expect a Republican president to sign such a liberal bill.
President Bush should veto this bill proudly.

NOTE: Please no slams or trolling on this question. Do not attack other peoples view this is a question that I want personal views NOT Pro-Republican or Pro-Democrat politicking.
In the USA the health care system is focused around private insurance. Health costs can be so high at times if the person is uninsured. There are many countries that have socialist health care systems that the government pays for the cost of the health care.
Do you feel America should have a kind of Health Care system that the government will pay for?
Some would say that because the system in America is capitalist you will get good health care quality because of competition.
Do you feel American taxpayers should pay for a universal health care system or should large corporations give more taxes?
Also what would you propose to do to make the health care benefits available for everyone? What is your suggestions and ideas on how everyone can receive proper health care without going into debt?

Ok i share joint custody with my exwife but she is the custodial parent who i pay child support to. I get my son every other weekend.The problem is i need to go away on a work issue and need to switch weekends with her but she has "plans" and refuses to help me out.

The only problem i see is we signed in our custody agreement what days we would be responsible for.Can she still hold me to it?

If so, why are so many against Ron Paul. I have seen countless attempts to keep him out of the media and censoring him from many websites. Also many smear attempts against him that make no sense. It's like they have never even listened to what his views are.
Ron Paul stands for the constitution. What is so wrong with that?

Where is the politician that says "Look we are going to make laws that are going to start to take noticeable effects when this age group gets this old. We are going to start these programs when I'm in office. For us that's 40, 50 and up we should start trying to prepare this world for our grandkids. For those that's 30 and 35, we need to get these programs rolling for our kids." Why we can't get a commission or a new political party that focuses on that?

I was rear-ended by somone about 4 months ago, that person was exceeding the speed limit by three times. He did not survive. Thankfully I did but not in good shape. My car was totaled in which his insurance company paid for. I have been to 10 weeks of physical therapy & it has not helped so I am having a MRI done next week to see what is wrong. I am also seeing a physcolgist for the mental depression I am having since witnessing his death. So everyone told me I should get a lawyer which I did. He sent me a letter which reads the other persons insurance only has a policy limit of $25,000 which means this is all that I am able to receive. He said in the letter if that's not enough money their are other avenues to take. I am scheduled to see him again next week but in the mean time I would like to know what this means? I don't know yet how much my medical bills are...sorry that I don't have that info. Thanks for answering.

for him not to file for his Social Security benefits. This way only people that financially need the money would apply for it. It doesn't make sense for a millionaire or billionaire to file for his benefits. The money would still be there in case of a crisis. Just my 2 cents worth about the 4000 lb. elephant in the living room that no one wants to talk about.

I hope that we can all agree that our elected representives are not voting the way the majority of the people that voted for them want them to!
The many polls prove this.
Wouldn't it be nice if we voted when an important issue came up? Instead of letting these bought off politicians make our laws for us! Corporations would no longer run the counrty!
This would really shuffle things up for awhile, but big money would eventually get used to it.
This would truly be the will of the people!
Example: Abortion
NAFTA
Patriot Act
Immigration
Iraq war
Death Penelty
Ect.
This would be a way of getting back to a real democracy!
I understand that some people won't want to make their own decisions and are willing to let others do it for them!
That' fine!!!
I love this country and wouldn't want to live anywhere else, but there are always ways to make it better!

Do you believe global warming is real? Are you taking measures to reduce the amount of pollution? I do believe that global warming is real! I don't know what is causing it. Could we be partly responsible? Well, I know that our emmissions certainly could not help matters any! I know that the weather where I live has changed drastically in the last couple of decades. Summers are hotter, longer lasting. The winters are milder and shorter. This year was the hottest ever! At the end of August temperatures soared to over 100 degrees F. The final days of September where also brutally hot! I know that something is different. I do not believe that this is one of those "cycles" that come every so often. And neither do people who have lived here longer than I! They say They have never seen this type of weather here in their entire life!
