BUSH CUTS CHILDREN'S HEALTH WHILE REWARDING HMO'S

During today's trip to Tennessee [1], President Bush will hold a photo-op at
a children's hospital and then attend a $2,000-per-person fundraiser at the
home of a top health insurance executive [2]. The two events provide a
perfect display of how the President has misled America on health care
policy: at the same time that he has tried to slash funding for children's
hospitals, his budget lavishes billions of dollars on health insurance
companies who fund his campaign.

During today's first event, the President is expected to praise children's
hospitals. However, his budget this year proposes to freeze funding for
grants to these hospitals, preventing their federal grants from keeping pace
with inflation [3]. He also proposes a $94 million cut to the Community
Access Program [4] - effectively eliminating another program that provides
grants to children's hospitals in need. And he is trying to slash $158
million (68%) from training grants for specialties that include pediatrics
[5]. These efforts are consistent with his past policies: last year, the
President proposed cutting $86 million (30%) from grants to children's
hospitals [6]. And in 2002, he proposed to cut $35 million (14%) from grants
for children's hospitals to train pediatricians [7].

After his photo-op at the children's hospital, the President will attend a
fundraiser at the home of Clay Jackson [8], an executive [9] at a health
insurance company called BB&T [10]. Unlike the children's hospitals whose
budgets have been cut, insurance executives like Jackson have a lot to thank
the President for. For instance, the President crafted a Medicare bill that
gives health insurance companies a new $130 billion subsidy [11], while
forcing many seniors off traditional Medicare and into HMOs [12]. The
President has also done nothing to address the skyrocketing costs of health
care, sitting by last year as HMOs raised premiums by 13% [13] and raked in
an extra $6.7 billion from Americans [14].

I would annotate, but why rephrase somebody else's research, facts, & statisical analysis. I'm not claiming to be the author, I'm just sharing a wealth of information which I have been privlidged to. Shoot, I'm not in school anymore, I don't have to write papers or reports, and I'm not trying to get published. The content is very clear and coherent, why ruin a good thing?

If y'all want, you can register to this site, and they'll send emails to you daily (I've been a member since its inception). Otherwise, I'll continue to cut & paste every so ofter, especially the closer we get to election time.

Lets get Bush, Ashcraft, and the rest of their croonies out...

WORST NW RAPPER OF ALL TIME
Really? Cuz he seems to think he's the best NW rapper of all time. Funny thing is I'm dead serious...too bad I can't pull up the archives from the old board. I think his actual words were he could hold up against any 3 NW emcees on a track...or something along those lines. It's even funnier when you ask him why he thinks he's so dope...dude gets all technical with it, like deciding whether or not someone can rap good takes deep analysis or something. lol, he practically breaks it down to a scientific formula..."the number of syllables per bar divided by the number of different styles I use squared by my voice pitch varience will prove how tight I am!"

how would that be wrong at all? just becuase you run a webpage doesn't mean shit. if their were facts and figure in what is pasted, then what you do in your free time should mean nothing. you have the dumbest logic on this board. (even beating out hatch and mexicancommando)

(by the way, net fans aren't the same thing as real fans)

GO holler in the FLows forum, or call me out in the NW forum, you coward. Your album aint coming out til 0-6...period. You ran off to Spokane to avoid it.

"Hold up against any 3 NW emcees on a track"....where do you get this stuff from?

Go back to your old chipmunk style on Honest Criticism & Operation Getbackand dump this new shit you're trying to run with. Its not your style and everyone knows it.
LMAO! Okay, you got me. I didn't really move to the other side of the state and invest all that money to work hard for an education, I did it to run away from the responsibility of dropping an album. And yes, it won't be out till 2006. And even though my material since Honest Criticism and Operation Getback has never been available to you, you must have telepathy or something...cuz it really isn't my own style, I puchased it from a panhandler in downtown Seattle for $29.95. I guess I should just give up and let you bask in the glow of your raptalk.net stardom...and tell my face to face fans that are actually in the industry that they should forget about me and go praise your work instead.

lol...I'd like to meet you Tadou. You're definitely an interesting character...and a pretty good shittalker, which can be respectable in its own way. Thanx for the entertainment.

Anyway, back to the subject at hand (sorry for sidetracking your thread Jomodo). It's pretty disgusting that Bush has the nerve to have a PR photo op at a children's hospital he's cutting funding for. I think the children of this country deserve better than a president that gives his campaign finances more importance than their health.
