Who pays for your family coverage ?

Enough already!

I don't care if the people/group that brought the issue to our attention are Republican, Democrat or green haired purple people eaters. It's still a valid budgetary issue IMO.

If a republican has a good idea, it is still a good idea. If a democrat notices a problem, it's still a problem. Half our problems are because we are so busy squabbling w/ the other party and pointing fingers we can't see the big picture or get anything done.

It is insane to think that because Republicans are in the majority that the rest of us cannot/willnot check up on them. If only the Democrats would be as diligent in checking on their people.

This is just another symptom of our broken health care system. This inequity will continue if our elected leaders do not pass some sort of health care reform this year. If it does not happen this year, it will not happen for many more years.

This has zero to do with our "broken" health system. It has everything to do with local politics.

If our "leaders" pass nationalized health care we will not only have a "broken" health care system but will have completed the bankrupting of our nation. I pray that someone in Washington comes to their senses and realizes that you cannot spend trillions of dollars that you donot have, no matter how noble the cause.

I did not say anything about National Health care. I said reform which could include a government option. We cannot live with 20% cost increases every year. It should be a Bi-partisan solution.

What has the government done that gives you the confidence that having a "government" option will help anybody?

I just want the same option my "government" has: free health insurance for my entire family.

That's the party I need to belong to. (Joking, but almost serious.)
Scooterbug, you have a way with words, and I love you for it.

It apparently is only free for the commissioners and a few highly paid employees.

So what? Not following your point. That's it not allowed for watchdogs to be of the same party as the watchees, or that Republicans are not to be trusted no matter who they are, or what?

This entire county is mostly Republicans, to the point that in county politics, party affiliation is meaningless, to me. Saying someone is a Republican in Walton County is like saying they are a carbon-based life form.

I like the WCTA but most of their members support Republicans and most of the guilty are Republicans.

As far Republicans "not to be trusted"... :rofl: surely you jest.

They do a fair job at playing Army just off the top of my head.

Budget Scrubs begin June 24th. The internal review of budget requests. We will be there.

Can you give us a report on how the scrubs went today? Who was involved and what was decided?
