Overall I don’t think the specific concern (“if doctors would be required to accept forced-on-us healthcare plans”) would become a huge problem. I know what this argument is getting at though. Medicare doesn’t pay doctors as much as private insurance. If their was a government option, it would pay as much as medicare. Cuts in medicare spending are a constant threat to control costs. “Cuts in medicare spending” translates exactly to paying physicians less for specific services. I’d be a lot more concerned if the government option was still part of the bill. Read more...(261 words, 1 image, estimated 1:03 mins reading time)
Well then, stop using characterizations. I’d like to think I have something to learn from Liberal thinkers, but all they do, as you’ve done today, is state general needs and characterizations along with the ever present Bush bash: Read more...(505 words, 4 images, estimated 2:01 mins reading time)
Here’s some more Noisy Dove ranting for you. Since calling my honest conclusions a Noisy Dove rant seems to make you feel superior – or less threatened perhaps

? The war in Iraq was a success. Maybe you were too little to remember Dr. Dove, but it was the lack of an immediate victory strategy that got us into trouble. No one predicted Iraq would fold up like a paper bag and we had ‘control’ of the place before we were ready – which allowed the insurgency and made for hasty arrogant decisions.

The damn Liberals hold this religion-like contempt for well accepted and validated economic principles. Or as Dr. Dove would say, the Noisy Dove character is a Conservative zealot who follows a religious-like view of economics. It just so happens this religious-like view of economics I learned in school and is held – in its basic form at least – by any and all practicing economists.

Green jobs are great. We can do a lot of stuff here in Michigan, like build wind turbines. But that won’t result in more jobs. The greener we get the fewer energy jobs there will be in the energy industry, especially if we reduce our overall use.
