taking money from hospitals all over -- I was told I was incorrect and that he CAN NOT do this because it is illegal and needs congressional approval. I have the information in front of me. Here is what it says (in part -- it's quite long):
"the administration's move is part of an attempt to curtail soaring health care costs while moving toward a balanced budget"......(and here is the REAL IMPORTANT PART ---- "This proposed change is a detailed accounting issue of measuring "intergovernmental transfers" and needs NO CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL" because of what it is being called!!! NOW DO YOU BELIEVE ME? If you honestly think this is a good thing and people are going to die because they are not RICH, then you must be a very uncaring person. How many of you out there RIGHT NOW -- Americans - are uninsured? I was BORN IN WASHINGTON, D.C. -- my father retired from the Pentagon years ago. I'm not a stupid person -- regardless. You don't even KNOW by my writing this if I voted for Bush.

Oh the "sounds like you had a good life with free insurance" answer to the person too scared to allow email -- my father retired in 1972 -- I'm pushing 50 and I've had breast cancer and I have been WITHOUT insurance A LOT so you don't know what you're talking about. I am a grandmother dearheart -- albeit a YOUNG one, I am not a child. I know what it's like without health insurance. Even WITH health insurance, it won't matter if the HOSPITALS CLOSE -- because even the rich won't get help either.
