I just heard this on the news, in what is probably a Granholm grab at more federal dollars, the feds are heading to Standish, Michigan to inspect one of the state prisons for the possibility of housing Gitmo detainees. This is typical of our Governor, she has no idea what she is doing with our economy, so to infuse more bucks into the state coffers she is willing to do what the rest of the country refuses to even consider.
Health Care thoughts:
President Obama spoke of large pools of insurance options that would be available to the people under the plans coming out of the senate and house. Seriously, how large will these pools really be if the Democrats refuse to allow interstate competition between insurance companies in their bills. You would get what we have already, with the cheaper government option driving the private companies out of the business.
All of a sudden the ins. companies are the bad guys, this is what is being said to try and convince folks that this resulting legislation will be the cure all to end all. If they really are the evil force behind the opposition, why would they not be allowed to compete to drive prices down? Could it be because its the Dems who are in the hip pocket of big insurance and not the other way around?
