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.

This is another part of Bushes plan to eliminate the sick, old
& poor. Scary, isn't it, that he has more concern for Iraq than
the suffering people in his own country.
My numbers might not be exactly right, but I know what you're
talking about. Instead of one nurse being assigned to 30 patients,
she'll now have 100.
Disturbing, for both the patient & the nurse.

This is a repeat of the same "question" you just asked, although this isn't a question. It's a sermon.You may "quote" something here, but it is illegitimate if you don't cite your source. All your excerpt discusses is the administration's "move." It doesn't say what that move is, and since you haven't provided us with a link, there is no way for us to answer the "question" adequately. In no way does anything you've written indicate that people are going to die because they are not rich. If a hospital is closed, insured people, whether, rich or poor, have a little access to it as uninsured folks, so it is an invalid statement to make. I am uninsured myself, carrying two part time jobs and heading back to a doctoral program next year. So believe me when I say I understand that our healthcare system needs some reform. Like another poster, I would start with illiminating frivilous lawsuits and doing something about astronomical insurance rates to keep good doctors in my state. Furthermore, I fail to see what being born in D.C. and having a father at the Pentagon has to do with your validity or lack thereof on this question.

Well, you might have posted a link to your source. If the money is earmarked for healthcare by the congress then it cannot be moved even with "intergovernmental transfers" from healthcare. Now if he moves the money from hospitals to insurance (both healthcare as required), then the insurance pays the hospital, the hospital is out nothing. That would actually be a better plan. Additionally, the majority of public hospital funds come from their county and state. We have a county tax specifically for the county hospital where I live. Doctors do not work for hospitals, they work for themselves and contract to the hospital, so that would be uneffected.

I'm very unsure about all this and what the hell that you are on about. Explain again.
