Comment on Health Insurance Company CEOs Total Compensation in 2008 by Bob

Even more of a reason to pass health care reform. The current system only breeds corruption through the “bribery” of the Republican party by the special interest groups of the Insurance, Banking and Oil Industries for the sole purpose of Greed and the fleecing of the American public.

Comment on Is it Unconstitutional to Mandate Health Insurance? by Keker

Your wrong friend! I was a federal judge for 17 years and not even a day one law school student would by this joke. I know the insurance industry has retained through a lot of money but this defense is malpractice. I guess I will run for president have my brother start a car company and require everyone to buy one!

No your red herring argument is not valid. This is hameful disinformation.

Comment on Does the VA Cost Less Than Private Health Care? by Cynthia

I am a Veteran, and VA is my primary healthcare provider. I find the services at VA to compare favorably with the Kaiser-Permanente provider, which is all I can compare it to. The main differences is that VA seems to have found more ailments to treat because the physicians do not ignore it when I say medical related things to them. If I say I get very sleepy in the afternoon, they evaluate my meds and check my blood and urine for sugar issues. At Kaiser, would have been advised to make another appointment to deal with this issue, and only treat for what the appointment is made for.
I do not believe the correct issue is being addressed re: VA care. If Obama care came into being, I suggest that all Veterans will be required to go to VA. The service then would be much worse.

40 million with no health coverage, X (times) $50.00/month =$2 Billion/month for the industry that has such a strong fiduciary care for those less capable! I’m embarrassed to be from Oklahoma and sadden that this occurs to so many Americans! Just look at the salary packages the CEO’s receive !

Comment on Nonprofit Health Related CEO Compensation by Juan A. Jimenez

Juan A. Jimenez — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:38:48 +0000

Why are these individuals not in the media, CNN, NBC, ABC, etc…? Why are they not brought to the government for interview by our Congress, like professional baseball players, CEOs from the automobile industry, etc…? I have not seen where they have have been doing anything during this reform. Do they have any in-put or do they have special priveledges.

I am not blaming them, but our media and government for not bringing these CEOs to the questioning table. Are they paying for not being questioned and brought to the media?

Shame on whoever is behind this!

Comment on An Autism Diagnosis: Key to Unlocking Needed Services? by Mia

Mia — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 21:57:52 +0000

The not-for-profit LENA Foundation now offers the LENA Language and Autism Screen (LLAS), a three-part assessment for children ages 24-48 months. The LLAS enables speech-language professionals to automatically and objectively screen for autism. After analyzing a child’s vocalizations, we provide a score and probability for the likelihood of autism. Parents can order the screen as well, allowing them to bypass the “wait and see” attitude and get on the road to treatment, if necessary.
