  • Why not CANDID camera

    • Description:

      Again people are protesting in Orlando because of the red light cameras, well sorry folks but if you all knew how to DRIVE and stop at red lights and stop signs it would not be needed.  The new tactic is "drivers are getting scammed", well that happens when you elect DEMOCRATS and crooks to run and police your county.  As to the scammed portion, if you don't believe that the ticket is real, well, don't pay it, demand to see the picture (they have to show it to you BY LAW) and if it is not you then YOU take them to court.  The way people drive in Orlando. Miami, LA. NY is the reason that WE NEED to have cameras.  Case to point which also shows the joke of the POLICE enforcement is as follows, two weeks ago I went to the VA Clinic, on the way there on the street repair area where all the traffic is around like maniacs, an imbecile two cars in front of me decided he had to wait too long at the light, well he proceeded to drive thru it almost causing an accident with a car coming to the intersection from the right, behind him there was a sheriff car, even thought everyone honked like crazy, he kept driving on his maniac style and the sheriff's car just kept driving and talking on his cellular, again, while this joke continues we need cameras to keep PEOPLE SAFE.

      Pelosi bill: Jail for no insurance

      By Dick Morris - 11/08/09 01:18 PM ET

      By Dick Morris and Eileen McGann

      The nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation reported that the House version of the healthcare bill specifies that those who don’t buy health insurance and do not pay the fine of about 2.5 percent of their income for failing to do so can face a penalty of up to five years in prison!

      The bill describes the penalties as follows:

      • Section 7203 — misdemeanor willful failure to pay is punishable by a fine of up to $25,000 and/or imprisonment of up to one year.

      • Section 7201 — felony willful evasion is punishable by a fine of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment of up to five years.” [page 3]

      That anyone should face prison for not buying health insurance is simply incredible.

      And how much will the stay-out-of-jail insurance cost? The Joint Committee noted that “according to a recent analysis by the Congressional Budget Office, the lowest-cost family non-group plan under HR 3862 [the Pelosi bill] would cost $15,000 by 2016.”

      Obama’s bill only provides subsidies to help pay this enormous sum after families making about $45,000 have paid 8 percent of their income for insurance and after those earning a household income of about $65,000 have kicked in 12 percent.

      The Joint Committee on Taxation noted that while the Senate Finance Committee version of the bill did not include criminal penalties, “The House Democrats’ bill, however, contains no similar language protecting American citizens from civil and criminal tax penalties that could include a $250,000 fine and five years in jail.”

      Remember that simply buying catastrophic insurance, which may be all the young uninsured family needs, does not constitute having adequate insurance under the Obama bill. It has to be total, all-inclusive insurance for one to avoid the penalties in the legislation. That is because Obama wants to use these premiums from the currently uninsured to subsidize his program.

      So Ms. Pelosi is requiring Americans to pay these steep premiums, or a fine of 2.5 percent of their income for not doing so, or, potentially, go to prison!

      Anyone who is familiar with the U.S. prison system can attest to the large number of people incarcerated for similar white-collar offenses. That the House bill would treat failure to carry health insurance or pay the fine as tax evasion or willful nonpayment is amazing!

      And where is the constitutional basis for requiring everyone to buy insurance? It is OK for a state to make drivers pay for automobile insurance? Driving is not a right, it is a privilege, and the state may regulate it by demanding insurance. Banks can require homeowners to buy insurance as a condition of their lending. But how does the federal government get the right to require a family to buy health insurance or face a civil penalty and, failing that, to face either a criminal fine or jail?

      The tough penalties in the House bill are designed to keep insurance companies from opposing the bill. It was the relaxation of these penalties in the Senate Finance Committee version of the legislation that led the companies to reverse field and come out in opposition to the legislation. The insurance companies want to see their coffers swell when tens of millions of new customers are required to buy insurance. The more draconian the penalties for failing to pay them large sums of money to pad their bottom lines, the better.

      The more you read this bill, the worse it gets.

  • Obama Stands with Dictators an

    • From: zcat
    • Description:
      With nearly a year in office, we now know without doubt exactly where our own president stands on vital national security matters.  He has a track record and has shown his true colors over and over again.

      In Honduras, he picked the side of the dictator-wannabe without hesitation.  He has used every diplomatic weapon at his disposal to destroy the constitutional democracy in Honduras, even cutting off financial aid and blocking diplomatic visas.  He went the full gamut of meddling there and made no bones about it.

      He moved to cancel long-planned missile defense shields for Poland and the Czech Republic, alerting Russia that he is not going to put up a fight to preserve freedom in former Soviet bloc countries.  He even made a point of denying Berliners his presence on the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.  Our president sends clear signals when it comes to wimping out on the friends of liberty.

      With our sister state Israel the only functioning democracy in the Middle East and the only non-Islamic country, Barack Obama and our Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, have been forceful bullies, demanding up-front, dangerous concessions from Israel, while securing no concessions whatsoever from any of its enemies.  While Israel fights for her very existence, President Obama deigns to chit-chat with the Iranian Hitler-act-alike.  What signal could be clearer?

      President Obama doesn't want to be seen as "meddling" in the affairs of another nation if that nation is Muslim.  Hence his reticence in any verbal support for the protesters in Iran.  Yet he meddles both in public and behind the scenes nonstop against Israel.

      Now, we come to the terrorist attack at Fort Hood, carried out by a man wearing the uniform of our own team, and the president does not want to "draw conclusions."  What he seems to mean is that he does not want to "draw conclusions" against a Muslim.  We now have clear reports that the red flags surrounding Hasan, the Ft Hood terrorist, were so clear that it would take a complete ninny wearing earplugs and blinders not to see them.

      The U.K. Telegraph       reported yesterday:

      Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.

      He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire. The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.

      Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.

      It was the latest in a series of "red flags" about his state of mind that have emerged since the massacre at Fort Hood, America's largest military installation, on Thursday.


      Do flags get any redder than this?  Are our valiant military men and women to be subjected to terror from within because our president and his cabinet do not wish to offend the delicate sensibilities of Muslims?

      Apparently.  When Barack Obama wrote his book, The Audacity of Hope, he laid out clearly where he would stand in his desire to protect Muslim Americans from any sort of profiling that might make them uncomfortable.
       

      Being ever the stalwart protector of delicate Muslim feelings, Barack Obama wrote this on page 261:

       

      "In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging.  They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." (emphasis mine)

       

      To Muslims, President Obama is keeping his promise.  He refuses to "draw conclusions" from the terrorist attack at Fort Hood, carried out by a Muslim American who made no secret of his intentions. 

       

      So, how many Americans will die because of President Obama's utterly misplaced loyalties?  Are human lives not more important than "feelings" and "sensibilities"?  Was the Ft Hood massacre not an act of war carried out by a traitor to the United States of America?

      Is President Obama himself betraying his oath to defend us from enemies foreign and domestic?

      So, if a school bus driver made the same kinds of threats, would he be allowed to continue driving innocent American children to their classes so as not to offend the feelings of Muslims?  If a worker in a federal or state office building talks incessantly of jihad and promises to become a fighter of the infidels, do his or her needs to "feel a sense of security and belonging" trump the colleagues' right to live?  From where I'm sitting, it would seem so -- in the morally perverse universe of our president.

      The right to self-defense is as fundamentally grounded as any could possibly be.  The right to preemptively secure oneself and others from stated threats is solid.  Yet, when it comes to these matters, our president is only sure that he must protect the enemy.  When it comes to protecting us and our allies, he goes all wobbly at the knees and can't tell where he stands.  

      There isn't much that makes blood boil faster than seeing brave, upstanding defenders of freedom gunned down by one of their own -- especially when the killer should have been removed and probably dishonorably discharged at the very least, long, long, long before he callously took innocent life in the cause of Allah. 

      Today, blood is boiling all over America, but apparently not at the White House.  Ice water in the president's veins, perhaps?  Or passion reserved only for our enemies?

      This whole conundrum leaves a sane person speechless.

  • A Dilemma for Today

    • From: starrman1
    • Description:

      This is from another blogging friend.

       

      You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus: 

      1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.  

      2. An old friend who once saved your life. 

      3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about all of your life.  

      Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing this crucial fact that there could only be one more passenger in your car?

      Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.  

      YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS.....................  

      The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no, trouble coming up with his answer.

      He simply answered:

      'I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the old lady to the hospital. Then I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams.' 

       

      Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. 

      Never forget to 'Think Outside of the Box.'

      HOWEVER:

      The correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery because Obama's health care plan won't pay for her hospital visit anyway, have sex with the perfect partner on the hood of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.  

      I just love happy endings

  • Late Evening Grin

    • From: starrman1
    • Description:

      Nancy Pelosi was out touring the countryside in a chauffeur-driven car. Suddenly, a cow jumps out into the road, and they hit it full on. Nancy, in her usual charming manner, says to the chauffeur: 'You get out and check, you were driving.'

      The chauffeur gets out, checks, and reports that the animal is dead but it was old.

      Nancy says  'You were driving, YOU go and tell the farmer.’

      Two hours later, the chauffeur returns totally plastered, hair ruffled with a big grin on his face.

      'My God, what happened to you?' asks Nancy.

      The chauffeur replies: 'When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of malt whisky, the wife gave me a slap-up meal and the daughter made love to me.'  

      'What on earth did you say to them?' asks Nancy.  

      I just knocked on the door, and when they answered the door, I told them, ‘I'm Nancy Pelosi's chauffeur, and I just killed the old cow.’

  • The Major Crisis

    • From: zcat
    • Description:
      McAllen, TX

      I’m writing to you because as a member of congress you are in a position of distinction and influence and we the people, the taxpayers need advocates to look out for our interest and we need leaders in the Senate and in the House to return the focus of this administration to the constitution and fiscal responsibility. I am concerned that with the growth of the executive branch it is becoming more difficult to exercise the checks and balance system that our founding fathers designed. I am very displeased with the out of control government spending and the massive take over of major private industry in this country. I was frustrated before; when I learned that you all were not able to decipher the bills and have not been given ample time to review them. Now I see that you have been subjected to extreme pressure and have been expected to vote on these bills and resolutions without appropriate research and debate. Worse yet, now I have learned that members of the House of Representatives and the Senate are not even writing the bills. It has become public knowledge that many of these bills are being authored by some of President Obama’s Czars (special advisors). Many of these “advisors” are radical extremists and have not even been vetted or confirmed by congress and haven’t even passed the background checks that high level government officials are required to have. In addition it is becoming painfully obvious that they represent an extreme agenda that is not complicit with the best interest of our country and our constitution. I am concerned that our Congress is being used and manipulated for the interests of the Obama administration. 

      All of the irresponsible actions and out of control spending of this administration and this congress will have an extreme negative impact on our economy and nation’s security for generations to come. It is basic; the government cannot effectively or efficiently handle the programs under its control now such as Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, so how can the government take on more? The government has taken over banking, automotive, insurance, and now you all are pushing hard for government run healthcare. This is a recipe for more corruption and bureaucratic red tape. If this congress pushes this through, each member and their families should be subjected the same coverage and low standard of care that will undoubtedly be the new norm. Socialized medicine is a failure all over the world so why would we want to emulate failure? To be responsible and realistic, NO ONE should support any bill that puts the government in charge of providing and administering healthcare! I think it would be appropriate to look at formulating a solid “Patient Bill of Rights” including, portability, competition across state lines, tort reform, and prohibiting discrimination based on preexisting conditions. 

      I have grave concerns about the extreme environmentalist agenda that circumvents reason and research to push their corrupt agenda. I believe in being good stewards of our planet but the Cap and Trade legislation is a disaster for the USA and for every taxpayer. This bill will make us weak and dependent in every way. This bill does NOT have the best interest of the USA as any part of its agenda. Carbon credits are simply a way to force us into submission to corruptive powers both domestic and abroad. This will cripple us for generations if it goes through. Why are we not looking at building natural gas liquefaction plants like the one in Qatar? Why have we build nuclear power plants all over the world for other nations and yet we are so restricted here? What about clean coal technology? What about allowing responsible drilling for oil HERE? There are real ways to reduce our carbon emissions, create jobs, and make energy MORE affordable therefore truly STIMULATE our economy but our leaders refuse to consider these options. I’m stunned! 

      Overall, I am horrified with the actions of this administration and the driving forces of this congress throwing good money after bad into this bottomless pit of corruption. The stimulus packages have had no positive affects. Our savings and college funds for our children have plummeted, the dollar is being devalued more and more each day, our government refuses to allow us to do what is necessary to be more self reliant by growing and development our energy sector, you all sign us up with Cap and Trade so that we will be impotent in the global market. It is clear that if we continue in this direction we will be just another European Style social Welfare nation who will be weak and disrespected throughout the world and we will lose all the wonderful qualities that our founding fathers structured for us. 

      Printing more and more money and taxing the productive individuals of our society is a monumental error in judgment. China will call in their markers. How incredible that we owe our souls to communist China and they are really not our friends. This may explain why Obama is flying the Communist Chinese flag at the White House later this month. That will surely send a message of our vulnerability all over the world. 

      You are supposed to be representing AMERICANS. The constitution and citizenship of the USA should be your first priority. Please address my concerns in a letter and give me some reassurance that you are working for the strength, solvency, and security of our great nation.

      Add my name to supporting the contents of this letter:

  • Too Many Jobs?

    • From: northton
    • Description:

      WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Colorado company said it created 4,231 jobs with the help of President Barack Obama's economic recovery plan. The real number: fewer than 1,000.

      A child care center in Florida said it saved 129 jobs with the help of stimulus money. Instead, it gave pay raises to its existing employees.

      Elsewhere in the U.S., some jobs credited to the stimulus program were counted two, three, four or even more times.

      The government has overstated by thousands the number of jobs it has created or saved with federal contracts under the president's $787 billion recovery program, according to an Associated Press review of data released in the program's first progress report.

      The discrepancy raises questions about the reliability of a key benchmark the administration uses to gauge the success of the stimulus. The errors could be magnified Friday when a much larger round of reports is released. It is expected to show hundreds of thousands of jobs repairing public housing, building schools, repaving highways and keeping teachers on local payrolls.

      The White House seized on an initial report from a government oversight board weeks ago that claimed federal contracts awarded to businesses under the recovery plan already had helped pay for more than 30,000 jobs. The administration said the number was evidence that the stimulus program had exceeded early expectations toward reaching the president's promise of creating or saving 3.5 million jobs by the end of next year.

      But the 30,000 figure is overstated by thousands -- at the very least by nearly 5,000, or one in six, based on AP's limited review of some of the contracts -- because some federal agencies and recipients of the money provided incorrect job counts. The review found some counts were more than 10 times as high as the actual number of jobs; some jobs were credited to stimulus spending when, in fact, none were produced.

      The White House says it is aware there are problems. Ed DeSeve, an Obama adviser helping to oversee the stimulus program, said agencies have been working with businesses that received the money to correct mistakes. Other errors discovered by the public also will be corrected, he said.

      "If there's an error that was made, let's get it fixed," DeSeve said.

      There's no evidence the White House sought to inflate job numbers in the report, but the administration embraced the flawed figures the moment they were released.

      The figures released earlier this month claimed jobs linked to roughly $16 billion in federal contracts, an initial report on a small fraction of the total stimulus program. DeSeve said federal officials had only a few days to go through the data for errors before they were made public.

      It's not clear just how far off the 30,000 claim was. The AP's review, which was not an exhaustive accounting of all 9,000 contracts reported by the government so far, homed in on the most obvious cases of jobs wrongly tied to the stimulus because of duplications or misinterpretations of how the jobs should be counted.

      While the thousands of overstated jobs represent a tiny sliver of the overall economy, they represent a significant percentage of the initial employment count credited to the stimulus program.

      Administration officials say they are trying to head off such problems before the new figures are released Friday.

      "Part of this is, it's an unprecedented effort," said Tom Gavin, a spokesman for the White House budget office. "It's as new to recipients who have to do it as it is to the American people who are able to view this data for the first time."

      Some businesses actually undercounted jobs funded with stimulus money, the AP's review shows, because they reported only new jobs created, not existing jobs saved. But by far the most reporting errors were found in the number of jobs credited to the stimulus.

      "I'm not trying to say one balances out the other," DeSeve said. "We don't like either of them."

      In one major miscount found by the AP review, Colorado-based Teletech Government Solutions had worked with the Federal Communications Commission to come up with a job count for its $28.3 million contract for call centers fielding consumer questions about conversion of televisions to receive digital signals. The company reported creating 4,231 jobs -- the highest number listed in the first stimulus accounting -- even though 3,000 of those workers received a paycheck for five weeks or less.

      "We all felt it was an appropriate way to represent the data at the time," company president Mariano Tan said.

      Now the job count is being adjusted to less than 1,000, Tan said, to meet the requirement that a job reported is equal to a full-time, 40-hour-a-week position held for one year.

      The Toledo, Ohio-based Koring Group also received two FCC contracts to help people make the switch to digital television. The company reported hiring 26 people for each of the two contracts, bringing its total jobs to 54 on the government's official count.

      But the company cited the same 26 workers for both contracts, meaning the same jobs were counted twice. The job count was further inflated because each job lasted only about two months, so each worker should have counted as one-sixth of a full-time job.

      The FCC spotted the problem and called company owner Steve Holland, who now says the actual job count is closer to five, not 54.

      "We're just trying to be accurate. All of this has happened so fast," Holland said. "It is a little confusing. We're new to government contracting."

      The AP's review identified nearly 600 contracts claiming stimulus money for more than 2,700 jobs that appear to have similar duplicated counts.

      DeSeve said he's pleased that the FCC and other agencies are working with businesses to fix the errors.

      Barbara Moore, executive director of the Child Care Association of Brevard County in Cocoa, Fla., reported that the $98,669 she received in stimulus money saved 129 jobs at her center, though the cash was used to give her 129 employees a 3.9 percent cost-of-living raise. She said she needed to boost their salaries because some workers had left for better paying jobs.

      "They were leaving because we had not been able to give them a raise in four years," Moore said.

      Officials at East Central Technical College in Douglas, Ga., said they now know they shouldn't have claimed 280 stimulus jobs linked to more than $200,000 to buy three semi-trucks and trailers for commercial driving instruction, and a modular classroom and bathroom for a health education program.

      "It was an error on someone's part," said Mike Light, spokesman for the Technical College System of Georgia.

      The number of jobs should be zero, Light said. The 280 count represents the number of students who would benefit, he said.

      The San Joaquin, Calif., Regional Rail Commission reported creating or saving 125 jobs as part of a stimulus project to lay railroad track. Because the project drew from two pools of money, the commission reported that figure twice, bringing the total to 250.

      Spokesman Thomas Reeves said the commission corrected the data Tuesday and changed the total to 73, although the count is not corrected in the government's official job tally. He said officials incorrectly added some indirect job creation to reach its initial 125 total. He said the number should not have been doubled.

      DeSeve said he's confident the job counts in the first report will be corrected and future reports will have fewer errors.

      "What we want is the most accurate total available," he said.

  • "Cash For Clunkers Update"

    • From: ExciteM
    • Description:

      "Cash for Clunkers," the program that subsidized Americans to the tune of nearly $3 billion to buy a new car and destroy an old one had Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood's declaring in August that, "This is the one stimulus program that seems to be working better than just about any other program."

      If that's true, Lord help the other programs.

      Last week U.S. automakers reported that new car sales for September, the first month since the clunker program expired, sank by 25% from a year earlier. Sales at GM and Chrysler fell by 45% and 42%, respectively. Ford was down about 5%. Some 700,000 cars were sold in the summer under the program as buyers received up to $4,500 to buy a new car they would probably have purchased anyway, so all the program seems to have done is steal those sales from the future. Exactly as critics predicted. If you were shopping in some of the area franchise dealers in September, they were veritable ghost towns. 

      In addition it took 700,000 used vehicles out of the market. Many of these vehicles would have been exported to the Middle East, South America, and parts of the former USSR. Others would have sold those vehicles to the less fortunate needing basic transportation to go to work.  Not anymore. And the net result is not only a shortage of new inventory, but now used inventory driving wholesale prices through the roof. Neither NADA nor Black Book are keeping up with soaring prices, making it difficult to get financing on later model pre-owned vehicles. 

      "Cash for Clunkers" had several objectives: help the environment by increasing fuel efficiency, and boost car sales to help Detroit, the UAW, and the economy. It achieved none of these.

      According to Hudson Institute economist Irwin Stelzer, at best "the reduction in gasoline consumption will cut our oil consumption by 0.2 percent per year, or less than a single day's gasoline use." Burton Abrams and George Parsons of the University of Delaware added up the total benefits from reduced gas consumption, environmental improvements and the benefit to car buyers and companies, minus the overall cost of cash for clunkers, and found a net cost of roughly $2,000 per vehicle. Rather than stimulating the economy, the program made the nation as a whole $1.4 billion poorer. It will take decades to realize any real benefits on oil consumption.

      The basic fallacy of "Cash for Clunkers" is that you can somehow create wealth by destroying existing assets that are still productive, in this case cars that still work. Under the program, auto dealers were required to destroy the car engines of trade-ins with a sodium silicate solution, then smash them and send them to the junk yard. As the journalist Henry Hazlitt wrote in his classic, "Economics in One Lesson," you can't raise living standards by breaking windows so some people can get jobs repairing them.

      In the category of all-time dumb ideas, Obama Car Czar's "Cash for Clunkers" rivals the New Deal brainstorm to slaughter pigs to raise pork prices. The people who really belong in the junk yard are the idiots in Washington who peddled this economic BS.

  • Use it or lose it

    • From: shadows
    • Description:

      We Americans seem to love laws.  So much so that we have an entire branch of our government to make them. 

      Unfortunately, it seems as though Americans love to make laws, but are reluctant to enforce most of them.  Enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels are spotty and uneven at best.

      Whenever we have a social problem such as racial discrimination, sexual practices, drugs, or even the use of cell phones while driving, we look for another law to rectify it. 

      But if we aren't going to methodically and consistently enforce the existing laws, what makes anyone think that developing additional laws is the answer to our social problems?

      One example that comes to mind is the problem of "illegal immigrants" in our country.  Why do we have to develop and bicker about additional laws that deal with illegals getting government services, etc. when they are already involved in illegal activities as a result of their mere presence in our country? 

      Enforce the immigration laws and we will have little need for those additional laws.  The same goes for racial discrimination, sexual practices, drugs, etc.

      Shouldn't we start eliminating laws based on the record of their enforcement?

  • Healthcare Proposal Would Coll

    • From: zcat
    • Description:

      The U.S. healthcare system would implode if the proposal to reform it passed as is, says former Republican Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.

       

      The Senate Finance Committee's healthcare reform plan also would devastate patient care, the former heart and lung transplant surgeon told Newsmax.TV’s Kathleen Walter at the fifth annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City.

       

      “The bill is not there yet,” Frist said. “If the bill that came out of the House were adopted today, yes — the quality of healthcare would fall, because we can’t afford it. More people would be forced out of the insurance market. There are not enough doctors or primary care deliverers.”

       

      Frist, though, admits he is an optimist.

       

       

       

      “I am confident you can do both things — that you can take those 20 million hard-core uninsured, bring them into the insurance market, and at the same time, through reimbursement mechanisms in how we reimburse providers, that we can bend the cost curve.”

       

       

       

      Walter asked Frist, who spent 20 years practicing medicine, whether he is alarmed that tort reform has been discussed relatively little in the healthcare debate.

       

       

       

      “There’s no question that as much $100 billion of our healthcare costs are due to unnecessary tests that we have . . . to protect ourselves from litigation and from abusive lawyers out there. But, it has to be addressed. It should be addressed. I think the president will make, maybe, a first step, but it’s not the fundamental cause that is driving up the cost of healthcare every year.”

       

       

       

      Frist believes a healthcare reform bill will pass.

       

       

       

      “I think taking Democrats, independents, and Republicans working together in the U.S. Senate willing to compromise (and) with President Obama’s leadership, we can pass a bill that’s reasonable, that will improve quality of care (and) definitely will improve access. But, it’s going to cost us something, and how much that’s the public debate.

       

       

       

      Frist is attending the Clinton Global Initiative, a four-day discussion and collaboration among world leaders, business executives, heads of NGOs, philanthropists, and other activists to take on pressing challenges including global health.

       

       

       

      “We know there are about 4 billion people around the world today who don’t have any sort of reasonable access to healthcare and to healthcare services,” Frist said. “We know the importance of prevention and vaccines, yet there are millions and millions of people who don’t have that access. Only by coming to an event like this and bringing the public sector and the private sector together — bringing government and nongovernment organizations together — can we figure out how best to improve the distribution problem and also bring new technologies and exciting innovations to people who need it.”

       

       

       

      Frist has written a book about his journey from physician to lawmaker to global health crusader. Scheduled for release on Oct. 5, the book is titled “A Heart to Serve.”
