If they became a non-profit organization and make nothing for their service it would only mean $100 a year to every American. The Democrats are beating the wrong dog. And that dog is raising it's rates because of the higher risk they may have to take. And for less money when the Democrats make them enemy #1 with regulations and burocracy. Look at how much more profites went up on gas when the Democrats called for blood on oil companies profits. The Democrat party has become the attack dog and enemy of everything that makes America great.

... c...How do you defend this boondoggle FAILk?!?!<br /><br />... consider Head Start, which politicians view as sacred. The $166 billion program is 45 years old, so it's had time to prove itself. But guess what: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently found no difference in first-grade test results between kids who went through Head Start and similar kids who didn't (http://tinyurl.com/ylcmb92).<br /><br />President Obama has repeatedly promised to "eliminate programs that don't work," but he wants to give Head Start a billion more dollars. The White House wouldn't explain this contradiction to me.<br /><br />Andrew Coulson, head of the Cato Institute's Center for Educational Reform, said, "If Head Start (worked), we would expect now, after 45 years of this program, for graduation rates to have gone up; we would expect the gap between the kids of high school dropouts and the kids of college graduates to have shrunk; we would expect students to be learning more.

But maybe I will just go to my Congressman and bitch about it until they force the guy selling it to me to sell it for less". You Hypocrats make NO sense. No sense at all.

Hey FAILk, Hypocrats are in charge now, so asking where the Republicans are is nonsense! So if it costs money to root out fraud, why wasn't that figured in in the costs to being with FAILk?! You're so full of crap, and I know you know you are. So are you saying that the $500 Billion isn't worth it? Or are you saying that the Hypocrats aren't being honest when they say that we will save $500 Billion but not figuring in the cost of rooting out fraud?! I see now you are a fraud expert.

The study measured the cognitive and social/emotional development, health status and behavior of approximately five thousand 3 and 4 year olds who were randomly assigned to either a control group or a group that had access to a Head Start program.<br /><br />The study showed that ... at the end of kindergarten and first grade, however, the Head Start children and the control group children were at the same level on many of the measures studied.<br /><br />So ... shove it FAILk!

Anthem is raising premiums 39% in 11 states. That's not sustainable.<br /><br />Government programs DO work. Do they need to address funding issues, absolutely. But the country cannot keep going on the current trend in health care costs. I hope you'll at least admit that. <br /><br />As far as fraud, it costs money to address fraud and the Republicans have continuously underfunded the fraud prevention unit. Fraud prevention is just like police work, you need police officers to prevent crime. People that root out fraud you need to be paid.<br /><br />Where were the Republican fraud prevention programs? <br /><br />As far as Headstart, I beg to differ, John.<br />http://www.chtop.com/Docs//HeadStartWorks.pdfBruce Fealkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134820420899225811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-49272841910087278772010-02-25T09:13:01.618-05:002010-02-25T09:13:01.618-05:00I was just thinking, it's pretty sad how peopl...I was just thinking, it's pretty sad how people like FAILk think. Here we conservatives are, emailing and calling and faxing our representatives, telling them ways that they can lower health care and insurance costs. Real, common-sense solutions. Things that WILL make it more affordable, by getting government out of it and allowing people to make their own decisions in their health care, no debate about it! On the other hand you have people like FAILk who are begging their representatives to get the government MORE involved, to increase taxes, to expand a system that even the Hypocrats admit is riddled with fraud and abuse, and which is a failed model! It's like the Head Start program which even HHS says has NO impact on children's development, and what is their solution? Throw more money at it!!

Why don't they take that out right now? Sounds to me like they are aiding and abetting fraud in the Medicare system. Typical Hypocrats, if there is a way to keep fraud going they will do it. I mean, seriously, if it were any of us and somebody was committing fraud and we knew about it, we would all do something about it! NOT the HYPOCRATS! What an embarrassment!

I mean, seriously, all your lies are getting so mixed up you can't even keep them straight! Good thing we are here to help you!!! LOL<br /><br />Hey FAILk, nobody said that nobody wants reform. EVERYBODY wants to pay less and get better quality, but that is NOT what this bill is about and I have noticed even you can't defend it as such! So I hope you didn't spend too much time looking up a poll showing what everyone knows, that everyone wants reform. What we don't want is lower quality, rationing, and higher costs in the form of taxes, fines and fees (including fines if you DON'T want to buy insurance!) Party of freedom, I don't think so if they are going to force me to buy insurance against my will, and there ain't no way you're going to spin your way out of that one!<br /><br />Furthermore FAILk, the numbers that currently count are the # of Senators and Reps that support a public option (that, by the way isn't even on the menu, so I don't know why you keep bringing it up). By your own admission ONLY 25 Senators support that mess, and for good reason. Medicare is a mess, it's in shambles with rationing and denial of claims top on their list, and insolvency coming up a short second! ONLY YOU would want to expand that system to everybody! You are truly one of a kind FAILk! Anyway, point being, there are 75 other Senators that have NOT signed your little paper, so you can shove that right up your pooper!

They took Iraq and won with the surge. They didn't sign the Kyoto treaty. Thank God for that. They cut taxes and kept unemployment down under 5% until the Democrats took over Congress as the majority. And then very little got done. I didn't like going into the wars but at least Bush and the Republicans didn't give up on them and our soldiers half way through the wars. The Democrats voted for the wars too. So don't act like the Democrats didn't throw in their hat into the war ring. They just gave up on it fast when they knew they could make political gains by talking down the war. I remember the Democrats saying all kinds of sick things about our military during that time period. And the best part is the Republicans learned from their mistakes. The Democrats are hell bent on making the same mistakes the Republicans made and fixed. And the Impotant Party also want to make a bunch of their own. And while the Republicans didn't do a perfect job when they were in power. It wasn't even close to this bad. You Impotants can't even win for losing now. When a person takes over a business and then everything around that business falls apart. Do you think it would take long before that person gets fired when all that person does is place blame.

A new Newsweek poll shows 81 percent support for a "new insurance marketplace -- the Exchange -- that allows people without health insurance to compare plans and buy insurance at competitive rates."<br /><br />"It will end discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions." In a Washington Post-ABC News poll this month, 80 percent said insurance companies should be required to sell coverage to people regardless of preexisting conditions; 67 percent said so "strongly."<br /><br />"It puts our budget and economy on a more stable path by reducing the deficit by $100 billion over the next ten years." A January poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 56 percent of those surveyed would be more likely to back a reform package that reduced "the federal deficit by at least $132 billion over 10 years."<br /><br />It talks about "closing the Medicare prescription drug 'donut hole' coverage gap." In a Kaiser poll in late November, 68 percent of Americans said closing this coverage gap is an "extremely" or "very" important component of reform. The January Kaiser poll showed that 60 percent were "more likely" to support a reform bill if it helped fill the gap.Bruce Fealkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134820420899225811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-10649977713293924532010-02-25T08:02:35.923-05:002010-02-25T08:02:35.923-05:00Chris, name one thing the Republicans did that was...Chris, name one thing the Republicans did that was good for America when they had control.<br /><br />The Iraq war?

I would let an assistant manager run a business the way they do let alone the country. It is so obvious the the Democrats thought they knew how to run a country. They talked a great game but now that they are in the game they are pointing to the past for all their shortcomings.
