Maybe if they put some teeth into the no texting laws they might work. Large dollar fines for texting. Jail time for being in an accident while texting, or better yet take little "Ashley/Jennifer/Heather's" cell phone away for a year.

Easy way to control health care costs. Oh and make it illegal to charge or pay more. No richy riches getting around the system.

Well, I did not cost anyone, except myself, an effing cent. What was paid was in the form of taxes, fees and gasoline & insurance cost to ride my Harley.

Careful Chunker, I don't think you want a cut-rate poorly paid and overworked ER doctor or cancer specialist or whatever taking care of your child. Trust me, it is not the medical personnel who are making the bucks, it is the equipment manufacturers, drug companies and insurance companies. Those of us who are healthcare providers (meaning people who put themselves through years of school and training to touch people and treat their diseases and injuries) are getting paid less and overheads are going up. I am in my 30th year of being in business taking care of my patients and starting January 1, 2013, my equipment, instrument and supply costs are going to be taxed an additional 2.3% to help pay for obamacare. Just one of the many hidden taxes in this debacle. So please, stop and think about what you said and educate yourself and friends as to what we are really facing as the enemy. Sure, some healthcare providers do support obamacare, but I imagine in just a couple of years of this crap, they will change their minds.
