From AMA Wire:
As a new White House reportoutlines required cuts under the Budget Control Act of 2011, the AMA is warning Congress about the costs of implementing a 2 percent Medicare sequester cut.

According to a study
The AMA and more than 100 other medical associations also submitted letters to leaders of the U.S. Senate
When added to the uncertainty surrounding the 27 percent cut scheduled for Jan. 1 under the sustainable growth rate formula, access to care for Medicare patients also is a weighty concern. In addition, the cuts threaten the ability of physicians to invest in much-needed health care innovations.and that is because Obama cut Medicare to fund Obamacare.
I have a better idea: Just reopen the inner city PHS hospitals that Jimmy Carter closed, and give all those without insurance the equivalent of a CDIB card, and let them experience the joys of federal medical care, complete with rationing and delays.
I am old enough to remember the horrors of PGH, the city hospital run by cheap medical students so the poor would have access to care. How bad was it? well, for those of us learning how to be doctors, it was great, but for the patients, not so great....It was so bad that the Honorable Frank Rizzo (sarcasm) read a report on the problems and said, hell,if it's that bad, just close the place...saying the poor should apply for Medicaid and use the much better private hospitals instead.

transhumanists want to make underpeople from animals.

From Ann Althouse, on the Romney tape kerfuffle:
... according to his unnamed source who, he says "noticed this quickly and turned it back one [sic]. The source estimates that one to two minutes, maybe less, of recording was missed."-------------------------------------
Really only 2 minutes? You sure it wasn't 18 minutes? Could the name of the source be Rosemary?
What's with Mother Jones? They usually are a left wing but accurate source.
But first, they publish a questionable tape, and now they are busy dissing kittycats:
Kitties, Rabies, the Plague, and You
maybe so, but this morning, Ruby's cat Greyson left us a huge 9 inch rat as a present, so we'll keep him even if he kills a few sparrows.
