Redux, do you love your country?

Posted By Michael Koons

How about tort choices for insurance policies, like in auto......? Oops I forget how the insurance companies and attorneys screamed around 15 years ago in PA when it was implemented....
How about throwing people with like lifestyles in the same pot of insured so I don't subsidize smokers, drug users etc? Think some premium jumps for the less healthy would cause them to pay, modify their behavior or ditch their policies?
Just looking for some big picture starting points before we leap to sinble payor with the same old problems.

How about some change in Washington

Posted By Michael Koons

I should have thought about this before, a lottery to determine reps and senate dudes(I'm going to use small letters when addressing them anymore) of registered voters the same way we select a jury. And you will need a valid reason to not participate..........

Same numbers, same terms.....

Your thoughts welcome... :S

3rd Party Options ??

Posted By Michael Koons

Are there any "serious" 3rd party options out there? Who is best organized for the mid term election cycle? Any thoughts about "valid" alternatives that most represent citizen's long term interests?
I just don't know about the status of the reform, green, etc.
Thanks wink

Can we start a polics forum

Posted By Michael Koons

Where we discuss pros and cons of different ideas with the intent of advancing cretaive ideas that would advance things. Maybe a political solution forum. It's kind of getting old having people post stuff just to point fingers. There is so much talent and thought process that just gets diminished and diluted....... :S

So what do you think

Posted By Michael Koons

happens to the stock market at the end of the year when all the states start having budget wars.....with no stimulus to help pad the coffers?
State layoffs, another bailout....
You feedback, appreciated.
