Choosing Hospitals

If your doctor uses more than one hospital, which will you choose? Compare them. How much does one hospital waste on excessive administrators' salaries, mahogany suites, and thick carpets compared to the other hospital? Use www.CharityNavigator.org and www.GuideStar.org. How long do you have to wait for help in the E.R., the ward at night, etc.?

PPACA or ObamaCare: What Is In It?

"No man is an iland, intire of it selfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Mannor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee...."
