The difference between having a Public Option and not having a Public Option goes beyond simple competition. That is definitely a consideration, but, it also allows States an option in applying the expanded rolls of Medicaid that may work better for them.
Jeff Sessions, Alabama
Alabama - 541 Adult Deaths Annually. Alabama is one of the poorest States in our nation, if not the poorest. It is States like Alabama that needs health care insurance reform the most and definitely need to expand Medicaid. Absolutely. They won't be able to do it alone and that is why the Public Option is so valuable. If a State like Alabama cannot include more on their Medicaid rolls, it will fall to the federal government. However, the best way to deliver that care is to offer a Public Option so people can directly apply for an insurance program they need. Absolutely.
Richard Shelby, Alabama.
Alaska - 124 Adult Deaths Annually. I don't know how many are Native Americans.
Lisa Murkowski, Alaska
Kyl. What is his first name? Jon Kyl. Jazzy 'Jon' title I guess. This picture was interesting, I guess he and Limbaugh the master of mirth for the Republicans have a lot in common. I thought it was a strange combination of images.
Arizona - 1185 Adult Deaths Annually. Arizona has the two most right wing extremist Senators in the Senate. That is by voting record, not, by personality or some faux pet name of "Maverick." Sorry, don't buy it. It is NO coincidence that Arizona's death rate is like fourth on this list. That isn't a mistake. The people of these highly conservative states aren't being well served by their government because they 'bought into' the ideology and NOT 'good conscience.'
John McCain, Arizona
Connecticut - 326 Adult Deaths Annually. And these annual deaths that repeat year after year. This is just THIS year, this is every year.
Joseph Lieberman, Connecticut
Florida - 3542 Adult Deaths Annually. Now, I don't know about you, but, I am getting a very creepy picture right now, considering the Governor before Charlie Crist was Jeb Bush. You know the guy, the Former Texas Governor's Brother. That a lot of dead people compared to the rest of the country and both states had the Bush Brothers as Governors. It is NOT a coincidence. NOT!!!
Let me remind of The Iron Triangle. They are suppose to be 'the rock' and center of the Republican ideology. To begin with when a party has these kinds of problems and rely on image making to have folks elected to office, it is a superficial reality for the constituency.
The sincere issue regarding any of the people listed within these two entries is they chronically want to 'downsize' government. I have already stated there was a coup against the Constitution under the Bush/Cheney administration for eight years. Oh, didn't I use that word? My bad. See, if oneis employing 'a hammer' to the USA Constitution while placing at the center of the Federal Budget outside of military spending, the American entitlements trying to make them more than 50% of that budget and it is a PLAN then I call it a coup.
The purpose of the Republican leadership under the Bush Brothers has always been to LIMIT the size of government and eventually eliminate it. For the most part. That is why citizens have to be armed, etc., etc., etc.
So what is transpiring here are politicians with an ideology to implode the USA infrastructure from the inside while making it appear as though it is the best thing that God has ever done for the nation. Sorry, but, there is nothing godly about the Bush Brother's agenda.
One might recall the scandal in Florida when Jeb Bush LOST something like 500 children within the social service network there. THAT occurred because of the downsizing of the State of Florida infrastructure. Oh, sure the 'social workers' were scapegoated, but, what is sincerely boiled down to was too large workloads for the people that were the lifeline to those kids. So, the methodology of Jeb Bush was to assign MORE GOVERNMENT to the issue and supposedly solve the problem and scapegoat the victimized. The children were never safe under the Florida Social Work system because there were more children than the workers had 'quality time' to follow them. It is just that simple.
The governments of the Bush Brothers did not serve the people, but, they seem like nice guys though and after all we always get those great rebates and tax cuts.
The people listed here are not good leaders, they should not be in government and they certainly aren't moral leaders no matter how many church services they attend in any given week.
Florida has a disproportionate number of adult deaths here compared to the other states with RED representatives. Yes, Red. If you ain't taking the issues of the people seriously you are a RED representative to the House and Senate. Don't care the party. People live otherwise their representatives are giving EXCEPTIONALLY poor serve to the people that elected them over and over and indoctrinatedly over again.
George LeMieux, Flordia. (He and Crist the current governor are known to be chummy.)
Saxby Chambliss, Georgia (Was that 'bliss' in his name? Well, I found this 'insight' to his 'philosophy' interesting. Ignorant man evidently. This is a direct quote.) “First of all,” said Chambliss, “I am not a health care expert. I tend to rely on our health suppliers [sic] for a lot of the information that we’ve used in developing our ideas and our thoughts.” (Oh, it was Cham-bliss. Like Sham Bliss. Like a faux bliss. You might say that. So, let me see if I can tease out a reality here based on his statement.)
Basically, he is not an expert. I guess that means he does not have an MD. I don't know what it takes to be an expert in his estimation as he never really said. But, you know one doesn't have to be an expert when elected to office, but, only consult with GOVERNMENT AGENCIES that tract deadly trends in citizens well being. I would not put a 'supplier' in that category. So, if Shambliss turning to private industry 'suppliers' for information on deciding about the wellness of Americans and the 'intervention' government needs to take it would seem a conflict of interest at the very least. He is NOT a competent Senator. At all. Government is not suppose to turn to those that are 'causing harm' to citizens to find the problem. I won't show up there. Government is suppose to ask the 'Agencies' to reply to issues found within the citizens of the country. And then a Senator is suppose to 'think,' followed by legislation to stop the harm to citizens.
Buoy, what a mess.
Georgia - 1640 Adult Deaths Annually
Johnny Isakson, Georgia (You know the state directly north of Florida.)
Mike Crapo, Idaho
Idaho - 217 Adult Deaths Annually
James Risch, Idaho (Cheney on the right in case one forgot about Darth Vadar. A touching moment, I am sure. The last name is Risch, not Reich.)
Indian - 727 Adult Deaths Annually.
Richard Lugar, Indiana (That is a Judd next to him.)
