    Did You Know

    The first federal "intervention" into health care was in.....1798? At that time the Merchant Marine Services Act taxed employers of merchant seaman to ensure sailors get medical care.

    Those Founding Fathers! What were they thinking???

    It charged the seamen who opted to use the service $.20 per month, not the employers.

    It charged the seamen who used the service.

    The seamen had to work to get the service.

    Also, at the time, the merchant marine was considered the wartime reserve for the Navy (look up the reasons for supporting fisheries discussed at the time of the revolution), so it was, in a way, the predecessor to the VA.

    By the way, Pres. Obama, what happened to 5 days of public review of any bill before signing?

    Do you even KNOW what's in the bill? I know there are members of Congress who don't, and they voted for the damned thing, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the President hasn't read the thing. There were people howling mad last night at work when they found out their FSA accounts are getting cut in half.

    Then there are the millions of undocumented people here. They will have to get free health care because it would be cruel and inhuman not to.
    No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!

    I guess we have come a long way from going to the barber shop and have a barber sawing people's extremities off?
