Great work, Jeff Head!!! - we need more efforts like yours. Just take your results and post them in as many forums/mssg boards that you can find, as well as sending them to elected officials. Email them in correspondence type letters to groups and organizations.
I seriously doubt any aspect of Obamacare will ever see the light of day but even if it did in it's full "glory" it wouldn't last. You can't make something work better by breaking it worse. If patients can just walk in and buy their own Lipitor they will be able to deal with the situation. I am sure the SEIU and ACORN goons will have their own "members only" clinics. The gummint will have to "throw open the pharmacies" from the beginning or Lipitor will be pushed through car windows on street corners. LOL.
From now on, every third Thursday should be Kill a Rat day
I don't know if I could do it but it could be worth a try. Of course you would have to set up your funds in Switzerland so you only recieved a small amount every couple of days or the local constabulary would probably make a habit of relieving you of your Pina Collada money and you would have to have a provision for a flight out that could only be claimed by you at the airport paid for from Switzerland. Just trying to figure out how to do it is starting to sound like more work than I want to put into it. Of course I have been told I have ADHD. LOL.
I'm asking others to pass it on and do likewise.
This includes parents of children with leukemia. They couldn’t care less if Obama’s deathcare destroys their last remaining hope.
Looks like he is affiliated with St. Joe's. and has an office a mile and a half from me. I take my mother to one of his partners.
Sorry, but the number has been DISCONNECTED. If you don’t believe me, give it a try. Cannot e-mail him either, because you get no reply. I’ve been told that the doctor did not write it, and I’m beginning to believe it.

This is only the DOCUMENT SUMMARY. When you search the vol. and page number of the federal register for the full document you get an error msg.
I received an email indicating that what the media & govt officials don’t know is that this presidential determination provides airfare to the U.S. and financial support. Can’t verify that because can’t get to the full doc.
The $$ for the refugees comes from the Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund (ERMA) which lives under the umbrella of the U.S. Department of State. The State Department came out with a statement that the $20.3 MILLION would go to the UN to disperse to the Palestinans.
THE INTERESTING THING: the presidential determination indicates that the order was filed under the heading “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” which lives under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security. Question: If there is no immigration involved, why did the order dump from the Federal Register to the Government Printing Office (GPO) under the heading of “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement?
