Moran: Health plan should be bipartisan

Thursday, August 27, 2009

Moran visited and toured the hospital this morning and talked about health care issues and health care reform to a group of hospital employees.

Sen. Hatch's Tribute to Kennedy in song. On his utube page the song is called "HEADED HOME" Take a moment to listen to the words, it's beautiful.

Thanks for the tip, reddog. Yes, it was a pretty song. While listening to that song you mentioned, I also found that Hatch also wrote another song for Ted Kennedy and his wife entitled "Souls Along the Way." It too is very pretty. I didn't figure Hatch for being a song writer. Here's the link.

I would prefer that the bills that provide a government option were NON partisan. In that the lawmakers stayed out of it and concentrated on tort reform and reasonably regulating the healthcare insurance industry.

"Hell, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country, our banking system, our auto industry and possibly our health plans to the same nit-wits who couldn't make money running a brothel and selling whiskey!" - Maxine (Comic strip)

Less government, more individual rights and responsibilities!
