The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me

Baucus Group Proposes Making Insurance Mandatory By Enacting Fines For Those Who Can't Pay for Insurance
09-09-09 7:24 A GMT-08
The 6 white folks from low population states have decided our huge nation should all be forced into buying insurance whether we can afford it or not, by govt. asking for fines from anyone who does not have insurance. Big and bad implications here, mostly at stopping a default to allow a public plan in the future. Baucus and his cronies are working for the Health Insurance Big Time!

Paul Krugman: Health Care Destruction
10-08-08 7:01 A GMT-08
Excerpt:
So what should be done? Barack Obama offers incremental reform: regulation of insurers to prevent discrimination against the less healthy, subsidies to help lower-income families buy insurance, and public insurance plans that compete with the private sector. His plan falls short of universal coverage, but it would sharply reduce the number of uninsured.
Mr. McCain, on the other hand, wants to blow up the current system, by eliminating the tax break for employer-provided insurance. And he doesn’t offer a workable alternative.
Without the tax break, many employers would drop their current health plans. Several recent nonpartisan studies estimate that under the McCain plan around 20 million Americans currently covered by their employers would lose their health insurance.

The bottom line on Obamanomics
08-23-08 2:47 P GMT-08
More Reich than Rubin, but definitely centrist. Build alternative energy sources and restore infrastructure to put the left behind working class to work (because they can't all become nurses). Create affordable health insurance programs that are good enough to entice the uninsured. Obama is new, but has the great Team Obama behind him with hundreds of years experience to help. And he's shown he will listen to the best minds, even ours.
