    I grind my teeth every time I hear Wyeth's name come up , and I am thrilled they have been outed on this Premarin issue. I take bioidentical hormones (I wouldn't put that synthetic garbage in my body on a bet) and Wyeth has spent literally millions of dollars trying to get BHRT and compounding pharmacies shut down. I hope this story puts a handful of nail's in Wyeth's coffin, and that the medical community wakes up to the efficacy and safety of BHRT. I have a blog dedicated to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy at holyhormones.blogspot.com. Besst wishes to all for (bioidentical) hormonal health!

    Medicare and HMO's are the worst systems possible. Americans have amuch greater recovery and life expectancy rate than any country in the world. I agree with you that the insurance companies should not be in the business of making profits and awarding CEO's outragious salaries and benefits etc. My husband had an experience with a HMO when he was paralized and could not walk. He needed a wheelchair and the operator at the HMO told him no they would not get him one and he asked what was he supposed to do and the answer was he could crawl on the floor if needed, but that they would not pay for a wheelchair. On the other hand Medicare did get him a wheelchair but then his father was diagnosed with alzheimers by his long time doctor; father in his 80's, did not test for any other reason his dad was having trouble with memory. He ended up dying of a brain tumor. Medicare doctors are paid bonuses for not doing tests on their elderly patients. So it will be interesting to see what gov't. coverage will do for the over 70 group who are getting larger every year. I believe that those who can afford to pay for their own medical care should do so and not receive Medicare coverage. They can afford multimillion dollar condos and homes but have the gov't. pay for their health care. Shame on them and on American senators and congressmen to allow this to happen. They don't care about anybody else in this country. We also should not be supporting those people who are in this country illigally, in any way. They do not pay taxes, social security etc. and neither do their employers. And I will hope and pray that God will continue to bless America.

    "Thousands of our family members and neighbors have died needlessly because they didn't go to the doctor or pick up their prescriptions because they didn't have adequate insurance." Can you provide evidence to support this claim? And while you are providing evidence for this claim, would you please provide additional documentation about your statement that 50 million people do not have access to health care?

    Tell the Republicans if they vote against it they can't enroll in any publicly funded plan, including Medicare.

    Anonymous who speaks about Cigna and Aetna is SO accurate. Please fellow Americans, take off your blindfolds. Don't you understand that you cannot believe EVERYTHING that you read and see in the news? I know that you are afraid of big changes. Who isn't? But letting yourself be manipulated by those who have the most to lose if we adopt a system that provides care for all is not patriotic. Don't you see that FEAR (false evidence appearing real) is being used to trick you? I expect greedy, corporate entities to fight healthcare reform because they stand to lose so much power and even more $. But I really was expecting my fellow Americans to not side with them or buy into their fear tactics. Please, please, please open your eyes!!!!
