"Patient safety cannot be traded for "efficient health care delivery," no matter how cost-effective. Patients deserve better."

Well why not? Kaiser, the grandaddy of all HMO's and many other HMO's have been doing it for decades!!!

The horror stories abound. There are even numerous skeletons in the closet!!!

Why wasn't this posted in it's entirety? Would it have to be excerpted?

I like the tie-in to the illegals sending money back to Mexico, instead of buying private health insurance.

What's a DelMarVa?

It is a peninsula. The peninsula encompasses the part of Delare that is south of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal as well as the counties of Maryland and Virginia that are east of the Chesapeake Bay.

Also, I thought that Maryland misadventure into socialism had already been settled.

Oh, they've been settled alright.........into perpetuity.

I hope your Walmart prices keep dropping and keep up with the state tax increases that will be coming due to the exploding Medicaid costs that most states are facing.

When I shop in WalMart, I do shop in Maryland. The people that work there were VERY unhappy about the idiotic law the dems pushed through because they were perfectly happy with the benifits available to them.

MD has COUNTY INCOME TAX!

Now, now. Tell them the rest... IT'S 50% OF YOUR STATE INCOME TAX!

Or is it more now?

That's why Montgomery County is so Democrat liberal nowadays - they can afford to be.

This was first and foremost a "screw Wal-Mart" bill and everyone in Maryland knew it.

As did everyone in Delaware and Virginia.

A local talk show host (and long time White House correspondent) named Les Kinsolving refers to our state capital as "the Land of Political Enchantment" or "the Wackiest Capital in the Nation."

He obviously never spent any time in Dover, DE.

Either you're a long time Eastern Shore resident/native, or you're a western shore snob .........LOL!!!!!

Back in 1984/85 I worked at a radio station in Caroline County (which is considered the mid-shore) and I remember getting a call in the newsroom from a listener about a story I did about the Lt. Governor of Delaware having a delegation of Chinese officials coming. The woman said she missed part of my newscast and did catch the date the delegation was coming to the Eastern Shore. I explained to her they weren't coing to the Shore but would be visiting Delaware. She said "Honey, Delaware is on the shore" and was highly insulted when I said something along the lines of Delaware's only shore was the Atlantic Ocean and had no shore on it's western edge.

The Eastern Shore is only in Maryland and Virignia, Delaware is part of the entire peninsula, thus the name DelMarVa

Of course Congress can rewrite ERISA to get around the court's ruling.
