Jane -- I hope they also tackle the travesty of lies about the option to get info from your physician on end of life planning.

Way to go. I'm plotting a little with Ronni Bennett of Time Goes By to get a bunch of elders blogging about health care reform. There are folks who need to be heard.

Thing FoAoH would want to weigh in?

Yea, FoAoH! This so-called public option thing will not get us out of trouble. It only adds one more plan to an already broken and corrupt system. We need a single-payer plan. FoAoH is right!

Lindy, FoAoH is way cool.

Jan, sorry not to have gotten back to you. Daddy doesn't blog, but he sure writes. Let's talk. E-mail me, if it's not too late.

Susankay, I e-mailed FoAoH about that, am pretty sure they dealt with this. Byt the way, the health care reform forum in Greensboro the other night was very clear about the same issue and debunked a lot of stuff.
