Wonderful day. Colin, Beth and Kristen called me to wish me happy birthday. Barb and Abby treated me like a prince all day. Reading "The Sheltering Sky" by Paul Bowles. Kristen knew the author , who is moderately obscure( Kristen, you are a kindred spirit).
Health care: I'll settle for insurance companies prohibited from excluding pre-existing conditions and at no higher cost than to healthy folk; eligibility to all applicants, no one refused.. No lifetime limit on benefits and government subsidies for premiums based on income. We can get that much done now, might even garner some republican support.
Military: get out of Vietnam; I mean........ Iraq and Afghanistan
Economy: let the market work; no bailouts for bankers and financiers.
Just thought I'd try out a post.....
Love you all,
Dad

ReplyDeleteDear John,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. Barb and Abbie treat you like a prince every day, so how did you know the difference? I see you have returned to your U of C economic roots, except apparently for the government subsidies for health care coverage. What would Milt say? Congratulations on the new blog. Some day it may be as good as Colin's. See you in Appleton.
Love,
Jeff
Not so sure on the issue of garnering republican support. But Baucus offered some nice affordability modifications today. Love, Joe
