Quote Plot-Twister:

At your kid or the other?

Quote puddycat:

Why watch it? Because I can. And I heard Wilson was going to be on. And, I think I can criticize Hannity if people can criticize the president - - is that okay with you?

Quote baileysmommy:

I would only boo if the other kid did better then my kid, and was making her performance look bad. I would spit fire and stomp my feet if someone made more sense and was much better then my kid!!!

Quote Prosperity:

LOL!!! That's a good one plot!

What got me last night is that Obama called out the company that I have worked for for 20years and that's Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama. Now don't get me wrong, I love Obama but I think he misrepresentd his point he was trying to make.

He stated the company has more than 90% of the market here in the state. We actually have 75% of the market. What he failed to mention is that there are over 300 providers of insurance in the state. People have choices but tend to choos BCBS of AL because of it's reliability and higher reimbursement of claims.

It is actually a selling point, if you will, to recruit a prospective employee if an company offers BCBS of AL.

I just thinkhe should have disclosed all the facts and not make it seems like there is no other choice here.

Quote wannazach:

Gosh Alabama BCBS must be a lot better than NC and Ga BCBS are. Here it costs the most and pays the least. Doctors and hospitals have quit even accepting it. I worked for an Orthopedic practice and they stopped taking it and it was what we employess had through them. The hospitals and doctors all said that Medicaid had always paid less than anything but BCBS had beat them out of that slot. The offices and hospitals would still take medicaid but not BCBS. My job was to schedule surgeries and make payment arrangements which meant I had to call the insurance company that the patient had and get info on deductables an how much they would pay. As example a hip replacement was $5000. Of this $5000 the doctors would recieve aproximately $2800. A carple tunnel surgery was $2800 we were lucky to get $1750 from BCBS. Medical staff and hospitals were losing their butts with BCBS so they had to stop it.

The 90% that Obama spoke of did not come from him. It was on the news last week that 89% of Alabama had the same insurance. All I know is that here any company pays better than them. Before the office quit taking BCBS they tried to renegotiate payment but BCBS refused. That same day they dropped them as a provider and also dropped them as a carrier to us employees. I was amazed every time I delt with them at how little they got by with paying. I hope it is a lot better there.

Quote Plot-Twister: Why on earth would we enlist the advice/input of pharm companies and ins companies? Pharm companies are aged hippies who found a legal way to get high and realized they are the "man" and want to keep their money and their drugs. Ins companies are into deny deny deny. Get the lobbyists involved and you have mayhem. Keep the special interests out. Let congress do its job.


And let me just say "trickle down" gives me the heebie jeebies. All I can think of is a retirement home and people in depends that are very very full.

Quote Plot-Twister: Furthermore...applause and LIAR are totally different. You wouldn't go to your kids spelling bee or school play and at the end sit in your chair yelling LIAR....

Quote raving:

Boo is not the same as calling your newly elected president a liar..... a liar insinuates that someone is not is not telling the truth...boo means you strongly disagree with something said or done......in other words...I say boooo to your post......but if I were to say...Lovesit you are a liar...that is saying you are not telling the truth....you see the difference now? how did you take it when I said boo to your post...how did you take it when I said lovesit is a liar????

Quote puddycat: Well, Helmet Head Hannity just got through interviewing Joe Wilson and all Wilson did was apologize again and said that "White House" accepted his apology and he just wanted to work together on this health plan, issue, blah, blah, blah, blad.

However, Hannity did say to him - - "Maybe the President will invite you to the White House for a beer!"

Man - - - I am just so overwhelmed by the sense of humor of Helmet Head. So juvenile. He and Ann Coulter need to have their own show.
