Quote of Note: Democrats’ Health Care Sleight of Hand
"As a former (recovering) professional magician, I've seen and perpetrated my share of sleight-of-hand.

Congressional Democrats have been forced into such chicanery because of the price ...
Max Baucus
Interesting news has broken about Senator Max Baucus (D-MT). Apparently he has committed a severe conflict of interest in the performance of his senatorial duties and what a future investigation could determine to be honest services fraud, a felony.

Centenarian Told to Wait 18 Months to Get Hearing Aid
The British government's health care system put 108-year-old Olive Beal on an 18-month government waiting list for a new hearing aid.
