]]> Comment on It’s a new day. by CW http://justendeal.com/blog/2008/03/03/its-a-new-day/#comment-5114 CW Tue, 04 Mar 2008 07:33:16 +0000 http://justendeal.com/blog/2008/03/03/its-a-new-day/#comment-5114 Hi Justen, All of the political blogs I have been following have been saying Obama has it in the bag unless Hillary takes a significant, almost impossible lead tomorrow (today in most of the country) in Ohio and Texas. As you know I was an Edwards supporter, and I've been torn between the remaining two. I haven't been able to make a choice since JE dropped out, and I can't cite hard numbers regarding TX and OH, so I'm just repeating what I've been hearing. My state doesn't usually get a say in the primaries because the choice has almost always been made before it gets to us. It was kind of historic that our vote mattered this year, but because I couldn't choose I decided to pass on our caucus. I'll vote for the Dem nominee in the general election regardless of who it is. Either way this has been the most exciting primary season in my memory, and the fact that so many people are newly passionate about politics and taking our country back inspires me and gives me hope for the future. Something we've been missing as a nation for far too long. Hi Justen,

She released a statement back in October which essentially said she voted for it just because she knew she’d face a very angry constituency back in West Virginia if she didn’t. The renewal was ultimately stripped bare by the White House and the Congressional Republican leadership, and President Bush finally stopped vetoing the bill once it left an acceptable number of children uninsured (acceptable to him, at least).

]]> Comment on AHIP: Harry and Louise are back. by menoalittle http://justendeal.com/blog/2008/01/18/ahip-harry-and-louise-are-back/#comment-4133 menoalittle Sat, 19 Jan 2008 04:40:09 +0000 http://justendeal.com/blog/2008/01/18/ahip-harry-and-louise-are-back/#comment-4133 Justen, Brilliant observations in this and the prior post. It is now clear that an important aspect of the KP and Halvorson saga is that of an experiment in altering the administration of medical care and all of the patients whose care is directed by Health Connect are subjects in this research. The doctors and nurses are parties to this experiment. Did the patients sign consent? Did the KP IRB approve? Is KP accumulating data from this research and will they publish it? Have the conflicts of interest been disclosed? Have they already published any results? Without IRB approval and informed consent, this Health Connect research may be illegal as determined by Federal laws to protect human subjects. Perhaps you and others should file a complaint with Dr. Kristina Borror of the Office of Human Research Protections (OHRP) , as well as with the FDA. This may result in scrutiny of KP and other profiteering hospital megacorporations who may be using humans as guinea pigs without their consent in these care altering health it and CPOE reearch programs. Best regards. Menoalittle Justen,
