"Your guaranteed Medicare benefits won’t change — whether you get them through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan.”
“First of all, if you've got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan" President Barack Hussein Obama
“Cynics beware, I am romantic about the National Health Service; I love it. … The NHS is one of the astounding human endeavors of modern times.” (Donald Berwick)

That is a good one...I’m back. I got to peek in a few times, didn’t expect to, we usually don’t take the computer along on these short trips. We went several places and obamacare was the number 1 topic, taxes number 2. Not jobs, not cap & trade. OBAMACARE. GOP needs more attack ads, and more detailed ones...especially the Medicare gut and doc shortage. Don’t know about you but I want my doc to speak GOOD English, not some heavy accented stuff I can’t understand one in five words.
Welcome back, dear Gail! I hope you had a good trip. I hope I did a good job with keeping up your postings here. I just posted an article from the WSJ that you may want to post here. :-)
