Charles Boorady, a managed-care industry analyst at Smith Barney, on the new Medicare changes:
This is an ideological battle. This bill is a big victory for health insurers and conservatives, because it increases the viability of Medicare H.M.O.'s and puts commercial insurance on a course toward employers scaling back health care contributions and individuals taking on the responsibility for their own health coverage.
This is terrifying.

INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING ABOUT REPUBLICANS, PUNISH REPUBLICANS.
Please tell as many people you can of these acts of civil disobedience, which in my view can effect change as much as any demonstration, march and rally.We do not hate George W Bush but we do strongly oppose many of his and his illegitimate administration's actions and priorities and that George W Bush caters too much to the interest of business people and to religious zealots to the detriment of other deserving people in America who need help from our government.

PEACEFUL REVOLT AGAINST THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
I have started the Buy nothing on Thursday and Fridays movement.
The Buy nothing on Thursday and Friday movement will work this way.
You will tell your friends and family and colleagues to avoid buying anything on Thursdays and Fridays. You and everyone you speak to will tell their merchants that we do not support the chimp and we're going on a purchasing strike on every Thursday and Friday until the Nov 2004 election. You also tell them that you hope they will do everything they can to help vote the chimp out and their republican congresspeople out in 2004. If you cannot refrain from buying on both days then refrain from buying on Fridays. Also please avoid buying any expensive big ticket items like automobiles, houses, etc. until after the 2004 election if you can. This will prevent GW Bush from creating a recovery in time for the election of 2004 when he did nothing about his poor economy for 3 and a half years.America will see a big vote of no confidence in the chimp evidenced by empty stores on Thursday and Friday.
We strongly oppose the Republicans destruction of Democracy in California in 2003 by recalling Gray Davis who committed no crime nor did nothing to merit recall. For this Republican anti democratic and anti social act:
Boycott the LA Dodgers, Arnold's movies, the Viper Car Alarm, Disneyland until Arnold resigns leaving Cruz Bustamante to serve as Governor.
Spread the word.
Do not go to any games where the LA Dodgers appear as visitors or at home and tell the Dodgers you will see their games after they get Arnold to resign.Browse http://www.dodgers.com and send them email from their website telling them to get Arnold to resign or you will not see their games.
Browse these websites

http://www.directed.com makers of the Viper Car Alarm once owned by Darrell Issa and email them from their website that you will not buy the Viper Car alarm.

Stop the Republican Texas redistricting effort.

If we talk about this at least it will prevent Bush from gaining an advantage from these for the 2004 election if moderates and swing voters beleive he's doing it for political purposes.
Bush already captured Saddam Hussein timed just before this Christmas also for political gain.The George W Bush 2000 Stolen Election Commemorative Coin

Corwin Pon:
Please do not stop the Medicare inflationary increases. I do not even know what Part A does for me but this year Part B is taking its biggest hike and that is plenty hard to take.
It you have to do that though, please do not even consider reducing the payment amount.
