I disagree with your assertion that Meg Whitman's husband saw the letter from the SSA. Look closely at the photocopy of the allegedly received letter. On the copy I saw, there is a white margin around the words, "Nicky, Please check on this. Thanks." (No signature). The white margin suggests that the note was written on a Post-it or other separate piece of paper. That could have been attached to a dry cleaning bill for all anyone can tell. This housekeeper may have anticipated trouble when she intercepted (possibly) those SSA letters. Maybe not as much trouble as she is in now, but she must have known she could get caught lying at any moment. She is a fraud all the way.

I agree that there is no "crisis" -- only a need for tort reform to bring down malpractice premiums, as well as laws protecting interstate portability of policies, allowing competition. The Democrats will not do the right thing, however. They will shove a bill down our throats and years from now, their children will curse them because NOBODY will have decent health care. Doctors and Nurses (like me) will leave medicine when they no longer get paid enough to cover their student loans. You will have to ask your barber to do surgery. I hear New Zealand needs nurses . . .

Over the past 5 years, my family of 10 has been rent apart along ideological lines (4 far-left liberals and 4 true Conservatives out of 8 adult kids -- elderly Mom - Koolaid-drinking Obamabot, Dad- deceased, rolling in grave.) Those of us with children in the military resent those who denounce their missions in Iraq and Afghanistan as "immoral". Those who work for the gubment resent those of us who work in the private sector -- and they really hate the entrepreneurs in the family who create jobs and make money doing it. Perhaps this is the model for the whole country. This is 1860 and we are straddling the Mason-Dixon line.

cuz I'm the Mom. That's why.

Having left a well-paying paralegal job in my twenties to adopt and raise a son who had previously been in an orphanage for his first 20 months of life, I have no regrets. I lost my medical benefits at the time, had to pay for insurance and my self-employed husband was in the real estate biz (still is) so times were very tough. That little boy is now a US Marine who just returned from his second deployment in Iraq. I was always home when he came home from school. He struggled academically, but I was with him every step of the way. He has received many accolades as a Marine and is becoming a strong, caring leader to his squad. I wonder if I had placed him in a daycare center if the outcome would have been the same? Anyway, now I am...

Often forgotten in the health care debate is the impact on providers. Bills in the House and Senate focus on the cost of insuring patients, not on caring for them. I'd like members of Congress to explain to medical and nursing students why we should borrow the equivalent of a large mortgage, spend 7 to 10 years learning our craft, pay exhorbitant malpractice premiums and meet the burdens of continuing education requirements all so that we can be paid at Medicare rates. I am studying Nursing (second career) because it's something I've always wanted to do, not for the whopping paycheck, but I don't feel I OWE anyone my services for a paycheck that barely covers my expenses. What do people think? That good doctors and nurses will...
