weapons of mass destruction

About the weapons of mass destruction, if people like you OH!BTW had watched your news more carefully you would have seen the large trucks parked near the hidden building that contained the chemical and biological weapons OF MASS DESTRUCTION. There was satellite pictures being taken as they were loading the weapons to be moved to another secure area before the inspectors of the national defense went into Iraq to try to locate them. They were being moved and hidden elsewhere. I saw the satellite footage with my own eyes. I believe without a shadow of a doubt they had them, and possibly relocated them to Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Robert M. Get your facts straight.

Social Security has nothing to do with adminstrating Medicare. They are different agencies.

OH! BTW...........

I DO partially blame Bush for flying the air planes into the towers!!! They had warning that something was going to happen here in the states!! They failed to act upon that information and God Knows WHAT they have covered up since. That's common knowledge. Read a little.

Oh....and where are all those weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? hmmmmm?

Medicare Fraud

Oh for heaven's sake!! In 7 years, this country has done nothing but make mistakes, and rob the population. Bush is a skidmark in the underpants of society and we had better get rid of him before he gets us in a war with Iran. He's an idiot!!! Check his ratings. He will go down as the worst President in history.

Medicare care is Bush's fault??

Just wondering if you can send me a transcript of your rants about Medicare fraud during the CLINTON administration. You know, Medicare existed then, too...

Wow, what a bias

Sure, blame Bush from fraud committed by others, as though he sanctioned it.

What a lack of honesty, and just plain bias.

You probably even blame the government for flying the planes into the twin towers.

Pathetic.

Medicare fraud

Is anyone really surprised by this? Of course there is fraud and it is rampant throughout the system. There aren't enough people checking the bills submitted nor could there ever be enough. Consider the number of claims that must go through Medicare each month. That leaves a huge amount of room for fraud. Hospitals overbill routinely (anyone who actually checks that bill will see it), doctors pack their waiting rooms with people who really don't need to be there and run unnecessary tests and procedures so they can bill Medicare for it all. It's not the fault of this administration, it's been going on since Medicare began. No one will stop it because all politicians are afraid of actually uncovering the facts and revealing the true extent of the corruption of the bureaucracies of this country. That, and I suspect they are getting some financial benefit from it themselves.

Just Wait

Just wait until the government takes over all our health care.

Jesus P. Peterkin of LA @ Jul 09, 2008 22:16:16 PM

Uh, who's the boss up there?

We live in a computer age. When Medicare does not know live doctors from dead ones, they are mis-managed (Bush Admin in charge 7 years) and more likely understaffed for their task (Bush Admin in charge 7 years). Ask the Bush Admin.

They'll tell you to privatize the whole thing so that corporate Medicare Advantage insurers get the gravy, not doctors. But don't forget, THIS IS ON THEIR WATCH (just like 9/11 was.)
