As state leaders I think its important for us to provide our perspectives on issues we face every day - like access to school spending access to health care and governing in a global economy.

When Medicare was created for senior citizens and America 's disabled in 1965 about half of a senior's health care spending was on doctors and the other half on hospitals.

What I am saying is all health care has a problem with costs. Medicare is growing slower than the private insurance plans. Why? Because of their efficiency. They don't have to give money to shareholders. Why should be defending shareholders?

The real truth is that the Obama administration is professional at bullying as we have witnessed with ACORN at work during the presidential campaign. It seems to me they are sending down their bullies to create fist fights among average American citizens who don't want a government-run health care plan forced upon them.

The fact is if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill to end the bailouts cut spending and shrink the size and scope of government the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won't veto any of these things.

But you say does it represent change? The change is that we are fighting an insurance industry that has killed health reform for generations. They're spending tens of millions of dollars right now to defeat this bill and we're on the doorstep of winning a great victory for the American people.

We are spending most of our time in American health care fixing the mistakes that either we in the profession are causing or our patients are without recognizing it causing to themselves.

Rising health care spending occurs because it is beneficial not a burden on the economy.

If kind parents love their children and delight in their happiness then he who is perfect goodness in sending abroad mortal contagions doth assuredly direct their use.

My greatest happiness is to serve my gracious King and Country and I am envious only of glory for if it be a sin to covet glory I am the most offending soul alive.
