    Stabenow expects deal on health care reform by end of year

    Well, makes sense I guess. If they force everyone to get coverage, more people will see doctors and more prescriptions will be written. Of course Stabenow hangs it out there like she's sticking up for the little guy--making the evil drug companies pay for it! What a joke--on all of us.

    Stabenow expects deal on health care reform by end of year

    Stabenow said health insurers and drugmakers should pay additional charges because they reap big profits in the current system. When did profit become a dirty word? I thought we were capitalists here!

    Layoutshooters prescription for health care reform.

    I'm with ya-- as long as increasing the # of medical professionals doesn't mean lowering standards for med school and passing state boards. Tort reform is probably the biggest item on there.

    What would you do ?

    I've missed a toll going through Chicago. Construction forced traffic over to the Ipass lanes and I couldn't get back over. Knowing there would be many more toll boths, I just asked the operator at the next one and they gave me a slip to mail the payment in. Wasn't a big deal.

    New health plan would cover abortion

    Alright, this is an explosive topic, but I'll risk chiming in. I have come to accept that abortions are going to happen everyday in this country. What I strongly disagree with is paying taxes to support something against my religious convictions. Call me unamerican, but I put GOD before...

    Driver to fight ticket from I-75 inferno

    He certainly does have the right to fight the ticket, but just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. By all accounts it looks like it was his fault. In the world we live in today, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a book deal.

    Conyers sees no Point in reading Bills

    How about some parameters for bills? One topic, one initiative....one bill. Enough adding line items for things that have nothing to do with the issue at hand (a.k.a. pork). If something can't stand up to the vote on its own without greasing wheels, too bad. Not defending his statement...

    Question on all state expedited

    I know that they are part of the expedite alliance and that they bid on PTM and NLM moves. They've been around a while, but beyond that nothing to say one way or the other about them.

    Accidents - German Style

    The autobahn as well as the surface streets there are all in immaculate shape compared to what we have here in Detroit. I think some of our roads haven't been repaired since WWII.

    Still Want Barrynomics?

    Plenty more folks would move if they had any kind of hope of being able to sell their house. The Free Press had an article about the murder rate in Detroit. More murders here than in NYC---and NYC has at least 8 times more people.
