[QUOTE="witzend, post: 299513, member: 99"] Not sure where all this "I don't want the same doctors that prisoners get" talk started, but it sure sounds like a scare tactic to me. Please people, please be aware of how the source of the information you are getting is connected to the health insurance industry. I could go all political on you, but I won't. Instead, I will offer up a website that has checked the facts in depth and offers answers regarding rumors and myths and truths that are being told. [URL]http://www.factcheck.org/[/URL] FactCheck.org is a non-partisan, nonprofit website that describes itself as a "'consumer advocate' for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and the confusion in U.S. Politics."[COLOR=Black] It is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and is funded primarily by the Annenberg Foundation. (Not medical providers, health insurance companies, or political lobbyists) It strives to reinforce the late New York Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan's conviction: "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not their own facts." The site is thoroughly apolitical: [B]Anyone[/B] who plays with the facts gets skewered. [/COLOR]Whatever you do, don't look to one source to check your facts. Or look to sources that only support the stories you have already heard. Look up the facts, and make up your mind. But we need to stop the hyperbole. [/QUOTE]
