  • Reply to: The Blame Game Double Standard   14 years 2 months ago
    I completely agree with your last statement and that I what I have argued throughout this blog. What I am trying to reiterate is that the conservative media is not too far from Steele's outlandish remark that the War in Afghanistan is a war of "Obama's Choosing." They continually pin 100% of the blame on President Obama while failing to acknowledge a role for the Bush Administration. Of the three issues I outlined, the one where Obama deserves the most blame is the Gulf Oil spill. But to call this Obama's Katrina is absurd when Bush did nothing to address the corruption in the MMS that occured under his watch. Furthermore, a government response to Katrina could do much more to evacuate the people trapped in the city. In the Gulf oil spill, the best human intervention can hope for is to capture or contain about 20% of the oil, according to Dec Doran, an oil spill consultant who worked on the Exxon Valdez spill. Bush's inaction during Katrina was much more damaging than Obama's during this oil spill.

    you articulate an enormous problem - every physician receives hundreds of pages of forms/ letters from insurers under the guise of 'patient medical management' - usually listed are patient names, preventive or treatment measures for particular diseases, requests to verify whether medical standards have been met, proof of follow up - etc - most often the insurance data are incorrect - e.g. patients flagged as not receiving the tests or treatments have in fact had them - or did not need them (females with total hysterectomies/or mastectomies who have not had paps/mammograms years after their surgeries) - other data are routine screens that the insurers was billed for, should have correct data on in their billion dollar systems - it's come down to a form of harassment of physicians - get the chart, fill out the form, sign, fax - hours weekly of non-treatment -

    Agreed. The US has all this while been very critical on North Korea, but why not Isreal? I'm from Malaysia, where a majority of the people here are Muslims. Isreal's attack on Gaza has caused public outcry and condemnation even from a country as far as mine. I think that it's time the US stops practicing double standard so as to be respected.

    I recently heard of a Canadian study which found that 8 out of 10 children diagnosed with ADD in their study had unusually high amounts of pesticides in their blood. It is about time to get rid of excessive uses of pesticides and save our children![url=http://www.desertjet.com]aircraft charter[/url]
