  TAX $ + HEALTH CARE REFORM + INSURANCE COMPANIES = MALPRACTICE

  GET THE GOVT OUT OF MEDICAL CARE AND INVOKE INSURANCE REFORM. Do you see the high rise buildings with the name Humana, Anthem Well Point, etc? Do you see high rise buildings for medical doctors? That said, it's easy to see where our tax $ and health insurance premiums are going - not to doctors and not back to the insured. Insurance companies and the government take your premiums and taxes but do not provide equivalent ...more »

  GET THE GOVT OUT OF MEDICAL CARE AND INVOKE INSURANCE REFORM. Do you see the high rise buildings with the name Humana, Anthem Well Point, etc? Do you see high rise buildings for medical doctors? That said, it's easy to see where our tax $ and health insurance premiums are going - not to doctors and not back to the insured. Insurance companies and the government take your premiums and taxes but do not provide equivalent services. Doctors go to school for a minimum of 11 years to provide quality medical care for you, the patient! But now instead of you and your doctor making medical decisions, the government and your insurance company are making your medical decisions, pushing doctors out of the loop. The current administration put in place a medical panel to review your electronic medical record with the potential of overturning your doctor's decisions. Medical malpractice is happening everyday but it's the insurance companies and the administration committing the crimes. The government and insurance companies are accessing electronic medical records and making decisions using a "decision tree" to standardize medical decisions that may circumvent your personal doctor's decisions. Doctors go to medical school to practice medicine. Insurance companies and your government go to government established decision trees! Our tax $ should not be used to override decisions that are personal to you and your medical care provider. Keep your tax $ and keep your health insurance private and medical decisions between you and your doctor! Take our Government out of the civilian medical care business.

  AID FOREIGN COUNTRIES WITH $ FOR EDUCATION

  Foreign aid should be used to educate citizens of other countries - not to Quaddafi who keeps the money while his people eat out of trash cans. Education should be the 2nd human right of all people, second to freedom (i.e., speech, religion, to bare arms, etc).

  DEATH PANELS

  THEY EXIST! Obama has a joint commission reviewing electronic medical records, denying on length of hospial admissions and specific medications, contrary to the family doctor's decision! THE FAMILY DOCTOR THERE WITH THE PATIENT - AND A DOCTOR IN ANOTHER STATE MAKES THE DECISION.

  DO NOT SEND OUR TAX $ TO ANY COUNTRY FOR ONE YEAR

  For one year, do not send any foreign country billions of our citizens tax $. We cannot be the crutch for every country and their people. We should not support corrupt leaders (billions to Quaddafi) with the TAX $ OF OUR CITIZENS! Why should we make them more viable while we have poor and unemployed and elderly HERE!

  DEFENSE CONTRACT AUDIT AGENCY - SHUT THE DOORS

  The 4,000 DCAA employees no longer serve the acquisiton community because of documentation requirements extending the life of an audit and the issuance of a report beyond its useful life for the buying commands and negotiators. Place auditors in the buying commands so the audit is the focus, rather than the extreme documentation that does not increase the quality of the audit or the reduction in the proposed costs.

  REDUCE MEDICAID - medical care for the poor

  INITIATE CO-PAYS FOR MEDICAID. Medicaid reciprients do not pay a dime for a doctor visit or medicine and if the doctor writes a perscription, they can get OVER THE COUNTER DRUGS FOR FREE! They over-use doctors and hospitals. A low $ co-pay is not out of line!!!

  **GET RID OF DEATH PANELS**

  Yes, there are death panels. Obama has panels that VIEW your personal electronic medical records from afar and direct the hospital and doctor to deny medications and hospital visits. This is TRUE and don't let anyone say otherwise. I am a physician. I'm no longer the one making decisions about YOUR HEALTH and in fact a stranger at a computer is making decisions about your HEALTH!!!!

  MORE POWER TO STATES - LESS TO FEDS

  People from state to state should decide on applicable regulations for their state - each state has its own personality so the powers that be should come come from the state less from the feds. The feds should monitor activities that affect the whole.

  INCREASE STATE POWER - REDUCE FEDERAL POWER

  There are similarities in the overall ora of each state; thus our states should receive a great percentage of our taxes vs the federal government with the exception of the taxes we pay for defense. Each state has a homegeneous family of people and so the state should be a greater "decider" in our lives than the federal government. Reduce federal government - increase state responsibilities so the people of the state ...more »

Each state has a homegeneous family of people and so the state should be a greater "decider" in our lives than the federal government. Reduce federal government - increase state responsibilities so the people of the state can decide the order of the state. It's non value added to pay the federal government to pass money through to the states, each time reducing the value of the $ in the process.

  Too much government

  My husband is a physician and he is being drowned in government paperwork and witnesses the same thing with nurses in hospital. I am experiecing the same thing in my job as an auditor. The federal government SHOULD NOT be so integral to everyday life. It's overwhelming and not value added and it's costing everyone without a corresponding benefit. Electronic data processing should not be allowed to destroy our economy ...more »

The federal government SHOULD NOT be so integral to everyday life. It's overwhelming and not value added and it's costing everyone without a corresponding benefit. Electronic data processing should not be allowed to destroy our economy and should not allow the federal government to permiate every aspect of life to the point it's destroying our economy.

  Dissolve Defense Contract Audit Agency

  The DCAA should be dissolved. Because of the auditing regulations required to define an audit, we are unable to perform an audit in a timely manner. Auditors should be placed within the buying commands so the can perform audits but not have the onerous demands to document to a level that is wasteful and an abuse of government tax $. The results of an audit are the same regardless of how it is documented. Meeting auditing ...more »

The results of an audit are the same regardless of how it is documented. Meeting auditing standards requirements of documentation completely disable the agency. It cannot provide a useful product to a customer and there is evidence to this end - ask the procurement community. It's time to dissolve the agency and let the buying commands hire internal auditors.
