I don’t know that’s true, Lyka. There’s certainly a lot of complaining coming from both sides in the press these days. The only thing they’re not complaining about is their own health care coverage.

People are way too much on their complaining sometimes. They sure wouldn’t do that if they have the position in the government.

Ain’t that the truth, Wil! I mean, the government does some things that benefit us, but sometimes we wonder about the things that seem to want to hurt us also.

Mitch, talking about the public health insurance, I’m totally in the mixed blessing condition as you did! No matter what’s the changes, the citizens like us are always be the victims of the policy…

That’s what I’m saying! I guess that’s why I feel as though I know so little — it’s b/c they’re telling us so little.

*And I’m sorry to hear about your Mother and Grand Mother. It’s nice that you could be there, you’ll be in our thoughts.

Thanks,
Tim

I’ll do what I can on this and other issues, Tim. The thing is, I’m commenting only on the stuff they’re telling us about; I still have no idea just what the health plans are going to cover, and that’s irking me.

Hey Mitch,

This health care bill for me is still such a mystery. It’s one of those legislations that I believe we won’t be able to gauge its full impact until it becomes law (if it does).

Interesting indeed that Baucus voted against it.

We’re beginning to see a few Dem-supported bills being changed in order gather wider support. The Financial Reform has seen some drastic changes recently (for example, no more requir. for “plain vanilla” products), see http://bit.ly/14xahv.

Obviously these concessions or modifications are done to get more support, which, to a degree, increases the debate and discussion — something I think is very important for these two reforms.

Please continue to keep us posted on health care.

Thanks,
Tim
