CE Takes Issue CE Petro over at Thoughts of an Average Woman is talking about healthcare for the elderly. I personally have wondered it it's been so confusing on purpose. In doing stories on this for the newspaper, we have run into many seniors who are having a rough time with their healthcare, and quite honestly, we don't know what to tell them. This is what she says:

What is so significant about this inaccurate information is that it translates into real costs to the elderly. It is capitalism at it's ugliest, bilking those that don't have the money.

What is the administrations response? (you have to be sitting down for this one)

The Bush administration took issue with the report and defended the work of the plans. The administration said the auditors should have asked different questions or should have phrased the questions differently. But it agreed that “beneficiaries should be able to count on the customer service” from their plans.

Read the whole post. I can't give it the justice she does. This appears to be the day and age of minimizing everyone's value by this government or confusing the facts, which of course, we already knew was happening.  ¶ 7/11/2006 07:42:00 AM
